Abstract
Examples described herein include distributed computing systems having a system traffic analyzer. The system traffic analyzer may receive sampled packets sent to a network from a number virtual machines hosted by computing nodes in the distributed computing system. The packets may be sampled, for example, by network flow monitors in hypervisors of the computing nodes. The system traffic analyzer may request co-location of virtual machines having greater than a threshold amount of traffic between them. The request for co-location may result in the requested virtual machines being hosted on a same computing node, which may in some examples conserve network bandwidth.
