A control device includes a storage unit that stores a correspondence relationship between a first information processing device and attribute information of a first virtual machine provided by the first information processing device, and a correspondence relationship between a second information processing device and attribute information of a second virtual machine provided by the second information processing device; and a processor that refers to the storage unit and deploys a deployment object virtual machine to the first information processing device when the number of the first virtual machines with the same attributes as the attributes of the deployment object virtual machine among the first virtual machines provided by the first information processing device is detected to be fewer than the number of second virtual machines with the same attributes as the attributes of the deployment object virtual machine among the second virtual machines provided by the second information processing device.
