1. A method for automatically creating managed resources, comprising:
reading, by a computer device, a definition file that is a global set of definitions for all managed resources that can be created, each definition of the global set of definitions having a defined syntax for describing functions and attributes for an individual managed object;
reading, by the computer device, an object file that contains a description of a single desired managed object;
validating, by the computer device, the description in the read object file based on a defined syntax of a definition in the definition file corresponding to the single desired managed object, wherein the validating ensures that the description within the object file is in the appropriate format as that in the definition file;
creating a new managed resource by a process of the computer device, wherein the created new managed resource is based on the validated description immediately following the validating, wherein the new managed resource is designed to be managed by a separate program, the separate program automatically facilitating any generation and implementation of a management request; and
tagging, by the computer device, the new managed resource with an address tag corresponding to the process, wherein the address tag specifically identifies the process and, wherein object header of the single desired managed object created by the new managed resource includes the address tag.
