Abstract
A distributed system may implement opportunistic resource migration to optimize resource placement. Resources may be placed amongst different resource hosts of a distributed system. An evaluation of the current placement may be performed according placement criteria that improve placement of the resources at the distributed system. Based on the evaluation, the prospective migration of resources that exceed an improvement threshold may be identified as candidate resources to migrate. Migration for the candidate resources may be opportunistically performed. In some embodiments, a priority may be assigned to the candidate resources according to which the candidate resources are selected for performing migration.
