Abstract
Embodiments presented herein techniques for balancing a multidimensional set of resources of different types within a distributed resources system. Each host computer providing the resources publishes a status on current resource usage by guest clients. Upon identifying a local imbalance, the host computer determines a source workload to migrate to or from the resources container to minimize the variance in resource usage. Additionally, when placing a new resource workload, the host computer selects a resources container that minimizes the variance to further balance resource usage.
