Abstract
A balancer can balance workloads in an active-active or active-passive stretched cluster by determining where to provision active instances of virtual machines. The balancer can maintain a set of compatibility rules to govern which hosts, such as sites or servers, are compatible with which instances. The compatibility rules can ensure that the same host does not run both instances, for failover purposes. Additionally, the balancer can create a key-value map that tracks performance of various available hosts. By monitoring host performance and maintaining the compatibility rules, the balancer can re-provision instances on different compatible hosts when performance of a current host suffers.
