Abstract:
The present disclosure describes a distributed, advertisement-based, solution for scheduling virtual resources in cloud infrastructures such as the OpenStack. The scheduling algorithm distributes the scheduling requirements and host state feasibility checks to the individual hosts in the datacenter, which can periodically send a summarized advertisement to the scheduler controller listing the number of instances of different type(s) of virtual resources that a particular host can support. The scheduler controller, thus no longer has to compute and maintain individual host states, and the scheduling problem is reduced to selecting the feasible advertisements that satisfy a given request. The solution can be extended to a scenario of multiple scheduler controllers using the same distributed, advertisement-based, approach.
