The service-oriented model of the grid offers a wide range of computational capability that can be shared over the Internet. In this paper we describe a concept to create and configure execution environments that can be dynamically deployed using virtual machines onto bare hardware. This new paradigm allows more flexible usage of available hardware and is expected to decrease the efforts needed to configure and maintain nodes on a grid. A novel aspect of the architecture is the use of Web Services Resource Framework (WSRF) [4] and other emerging standards in the grid ecosystem. Based on these standards a prototype has been implemented that is used to create first results, and figure out challenges and future work following this new approach.
