Any good resource libraries (non-people)?

Question

As our automated testing infrastructure grows, we need to automatically manage test resources (servers, etc.). Do not manage updates on systems, but have an automatic (software) way to reserve resources for use in automatic test launches and release of resources upon completion. I need to be able to add items to the system, store metadata about them, reserve them, and release resources upon completion. Are there any existing systems that manage resources in a way that can be integrated with other programs? The target languages ​​for interacting with such systems are Java or C #, but if something else well exists in another language (or was somehow for interacting with it from other languages), I would also look at it.

Answer 1

It seems that there is no answer, and I need to roll my own.

Answer 2

Have you looked at the selenium grate? It allows you to requisition a cluster of servers for automatic testing. It even works with Amazon cloud computing. http://selenium-grid.seleniumhq.org/
