Exercise 1 - Configure Advanced and Multilevel Resource Pools

When you create a virtual machine on a host, the virtual machine is assigned specific resources like memory and CPU.

To do this, you need to create resource pools and use allocation policies to assign resources to a set of virtual machines.
