Abstract: Virtual Machine (VM) creation based on a dynamically-calculated feature set. A plurality of feature sets are identified. Each feature set in the plurality of feature sets corresponds to a different VM host node of a plurality of VM host nodes that are part of a common VM migration group, and indicates a set of features available at a corresponding VM host node. From the plurality of feature sets, a group feature set is calculated. The group feature set includes a subset of features that are common among the plurality of feature sets. A VM created within the plurality of VM host nodes is configured to use the group feature set.
