<title>Scheduling</title>
|
|
<para>Compute uses the <systemitem class="service"
|
|
>nova-scheduler</systemitem> service to determine how to
|
|
dispatch compute and volume requests. For example, the
|
|
<systemitem class="service">nova-scheduler</systemitem>
|
|
service determines which host a VM should launch on. The term
|
|
<firstterm>host</firstterm> in the context of filters
|
|
means a physical node that has a <systemitem class="service"
|
|
>nova-compute</systemitem> service running on it. You can
|
|
configure the scheduler through a variety of options.</para>
|
|
<para>Compute is configured with the following default scheduler options in the

<para>By default, the scheduler_driver is configured as a filter

(<literal>nova.scheduler.filter_scheduler.FilterScheduler</literal>)

<title>Filters</title>
|
|
<para>When the Filter Scheduler receives a request for a
|
|
resource, it first applies filters to determine which
|
|
hosts are eligible for consideration when dispatching a
|
|
resource. Filters are binary: either a host is accepted by
|
|
the filter, or it is rejected. Hosts that are accepted by
|
|
the filter are then processed by a different algorithm to
|
|
decide which hosts to use for that request, described in
|
|
the <link linkend="weights">Weights</link> section.

list of acceptable hosts. Each time the scheduler selects a host, it virtually consumes

resources on it, and subsequent selections are adjusted accordingly. This process is

useful when the customer asks for the same large amount of instances, because weight is

computed for each requested instance.</para>
