A method, a system, and an apparatus for creating a virtual machine. The method includes receiving a virtual machine creation request to create a plurality of virtual machines; dividing the plurality of virtual machines into a plurality of virtual machine groups; determining a home physical rack for each virtual machine group, where one virtual machine group corresponds to one home physical rack; and creating each virtual machine group on the home physical rack of each virtual machine group. Because each virtual machine group is created on a home physical rack to which each virtual machine group belongs, each virtual machine group is equivalent to one physical rack.
