Abstract
A method of determining an optimal host machine to place a virtual machine in a virtualization environment is described. The virtualization environment includes a first rack of host machines and a second rack of host machines, where a first host machine of the first rack of host machines is designated as a leader node. The method includes receiving a request to launch a second virtual machine configured to communicate with a first virtual machine. The method includes identifying, from the first rack of host machines and the second rack of host machines, a cluster of host machines. The method includes computing, for each host machine of the cluster, an aggregate network bandwidth consumed by the host machine. The method includes selecting a host machine from the cluster based on the aggregate network bandwidth computed for the selected host machine. The method includes launching the second virtual machine on the selected host machine.
