determine, responsive to a match of the first attribute to the second attribute, that the virtual machine hosting the first Web application for the first request has capacity to host the second Web application for the second request;

create the second Web application for the second request on the virtual machine hosting the first Web application; and

prevent the second Web application from accessing the first Web application and prevent the first Web application from accessing the second Web application.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein to determine that the virtual machine hosting the first Web application for the first request has capacity comprises the processing device to:

compare the capacity of the virtual machine that is hosting the first Web application to other virtual machines of the plurality of virtual machines; and

determine the virtual machine that is hosting the first Web application has the most capacity in view of the comparing.

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein to create the second Web application for the second request comprises the processing device to:

send an instruction to the virtual machine hosting the first Web application to create a new software repository for the second Web application for the second request.

13. The system of claim 10 , wherein to determine that the virtual machine hosting the first Web application for the first request has comprises the processing device to:

determine a number of software repositories on the virtual machine; and

determine a current virtual machine utilization using the number of software repositories.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein to determine the current virtual machine utilization comprises the processing device to:

weigh each software repository on the virtual machine in view of a source code language of a respective Web application hosted in each software repository.

15. The system of claim 10 , wherein to determine that the virtual machine hosting the first Web application for the first request has comprises the processing device to:

determine a number of active applications on the virtual machine that are currently executing; and

determine a current virtual machine utilization using the number of active applications.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein to determine the current virtual machine utilization comprises the processing device to:

weigh each active application on the virtual machine in view of an expected memory footprint of each active application.

17. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to:
