+Filter Scheduler
+================
+
+The **Filter Scheduler** supports `filtering` zun compute hosts to make
+decisions on where a new container should be created.
+
+Filtering
+---------
+
+Filter Scheduler iterates over all found compute hosts,evaluating each host
+against a set of filters. The Scheduler then chooses a host for the requested
+container. A specific filter can decide whether to pass or filter out a
+specific host. The decision is made based on the user request specification,
+the state of the host, and/or some extra information.
+
+If the Scheduler cannot find candidates for the container, it means that
+there are no appropriate host where that container can be scheduled.
+
+The Filter Scheduler has a set of ``filters`` that are built-in. If the
+built-in filters is insufficient, you can implement your own filters with your
+filtering algorithm.
+
+There are many standard filter classes which may be used
+(:mod:`zun.scheduler.filters`):
+
+* CPUFilter - filters based on CPU core utilization. It passes hosts with
+  sufficient number of CPU cores.
+* RamFilter - filters hosts by their RAM. Only hosts with sufficient RAM
+  to host the instance are passed.
+* LabelFilter - filters hosts based on whether host has the CLI specified
+  labels.
+
+Configuring Filters
+-------------------
+
+To use filters you specify two settings:
+
+* ``filter_scheduler.available_filters`` - Defines filter classes made
+  available to the scheduler.
+* ``filter_scheduler.enabled_filters`` - Of the available filters, defines
+  those that the scheduler uses by default.
+
+The default values for these settings in zun.conf are:
+
+::
+
+    --filter_scheduler.available_filters=zun.scheduler.filters.all_filters
+    --filter_scheduler.enabled_filters=RamFilter,CPUFilter
+
+With this configuration, all filters in ``zun.scheduler.filters``
+would be available, and by default the RamFilter and CPUFilter would be
+used.
+
+Writing Your Own Filter
+-----------------------
+
+To create **your own filter** you must inherit from
+BaseHostFilter and implement one method:
+``host_passes``. This method should return ``True`` if the host passes the
+filter.
+
+P.S.: you can find more examples of using Filter Scheduler and standard filters
+in :mod:`zun.tests.scheduler`.
