This makes scheduling weights more plugin friendly and creates shared code that can be used by the host scheduler as well as the future cells scheduler. Weighing classes can now be specified much like you can specify scheduling host filters. The new weights code reverses the old behavior where lower weights win. Higher weights are now the winners. The least_cost module and configs have been deprecated, but are still supported for backwards compatibility. The code has moved to nova.scheduler.weights.least_cost and been modified to work with the new loadable-class code. If any of the least_cost related config options are specified, this least_cost weigher will be used. For those not overriding the default least_cost config values, the new RamWeigher class will be used. The default behavior of the RamWeigher class is the same default behavior as the old least_cost module. The new weights code introduces a new config option 'scheduler_weight_classes' which is used to specify which weigher classes to use. The default is 'all classes', but modified if least_cost deprecated config options are used, as mentioned above. The RamWeigher class introduces a new config option 'ram_weight_multiplier'. The default of 1.0 causes weights equal to the free memory in MB to be returned, thus hosts with more free memory are preferred (causes equal spreading). Changing this value to a negative number such as -1.0 will cause reverse behavior (fill first). DocImpact Change-Id: I1e5e5039c299db02f7287f2d33299ebf0b9732ce |

OpenStack Nova README
OpenStack Nova provides a cloud computing fabric controller, supporting a wide variety of virtualization technologies, including KVM, Xen, LXC, VMWare, and more. In addition to its native API, it includes compatibility with the commonly encountered Amazon EC2 and S3 APIs.
OpenStack Nova is distributed under the terms of the Apache License, Version 2.0. The full terms and conditions of this license are detailed in the LICENSE file.
Nova primarily consists of a set of Python daemons, though it requires and integrates with a number of native system components for databases, messaging and virtualization capabilities.

To learn how to deploy OpenStack Nova, consult the documentation available online at:
In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:
Developers wishing to work on the OpenStack Nova project should always base their work on the latest Nova code, available from the master GIT repository at:
Developers should also join the discussion on the mailing list, at:
Any new code must follow the development guidelines detailed in the HACKING.rst file, and pass all unit tests. Further developer focused documentation is available at:
Changes to OpenStack Nova should be submitted for review via the Gerrit tool, following the workflow documented at:
