Techniques are disclosed for managing and allocating resources based on resource policies in response to user requests. A resource management system can receive a request for a service. A request may indicate preferences for allocation resources (e.g., a resource definition) to enable the service. A resource definition may indicate a topology of the computing resources to allocate for the user. The topology may indicate what computing resources to allocate and how to allocate those computing resource. Based on the information indicated by a request, the resource management system may determine a placement policy for allocation of computing resources indicated by the request. A placement policy may indicate a placement of one or more computing resources requested by a user. The placement policy may indicate where and how computing resources are to be placed once allocated. The computing resources may be allocated based on the placement policy and the resource definition.
