Sorry, my bad. The more free RAM is better (cost is smaller) thanks to this -1.0. So the default behavior is spread-first indeed. To make it fill-first, you can add flag --compute_fill_first_cost_fn_weight=1.0 to scheduler node. Kind regards, Yuriy. On Thu, May 3, 2012 at 8:15 PM, Yuriy Taraday

Just note that since Essex release Nova by default use fill-first cost function, meaning that nodes with less free RAM will be preferred for new instances. Kind regards, Yuriy. On Sun, Apr 29, 2012 at 8:28 PM, Szymon Grzybowski semy...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, Me and my colleague are doing

Fill-first cost function returns the amount of free RAM. By default it is negated (multiplied by -1.0), so the less free RAM is better. I think, this is a bit misguiding, but was changed right before Essex (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/965732 ). Kind regards, Yuriy. On Thu, May 3,

Hi, Me and my colleague are doing research about openstack and energy efficiency during part of our master thesis about cloud computing. And mayby we would like to write something inside nova-scheduler to dynamically manage vms from cloud administrator's point of view. the general idea is to

Hi Szymon, This is a really great that you are working for energy efficiency datacenter. whatever the topics you mentioned that really affects for efficient data center. I would like to add some points on this. You should consider Quantum project to deploy and research for datacenter. Distributed
