Detailed Description

This feature will address the needs of applications and systems scaling out. When a certain resource usage goes over or below a certain user-defined limit, some an action would take place, which is typically starting and/or stopping a VM from a pool. Such conditions could be:

  • disk usage
  • free disk space
  • network usage
  • CPU usage

Benefit to oVirt

This feature allows oVirt to automatically scale applications based on their resource usage.
