Cloud bursting with HP CloudSystem Matrix infrastructure orchestration: Matrix-to-Matrix, HP Matrix KVM Private Cloud, HP Cloud Services, and Amazon EC2

# A prioritized list of server types to use when the logical server does not
# specify a server type. The first server type that meets the minimum
# processor count and memory size for the logical server is selected.
#
# A keyword shortcut can be used to include all server types (limited by
# provider.servertype.file). The keyword @min-processors prioritizes first by
# minimum processor count and then by minimum memory size. The keyword
# @min-memory prioritizes first by minimum memory size and then by minimum
# processor count. Note: When a keyword shortcut is used, server types added
# later will automatically be eligible for auto-selection.

attributes (processors and memory). Can also be a comma separated list of server types. For
example: standard.xsmall,standard.small,standard.medium,standard.large
