Abstract
Examples provide a network-utilization based scheduler that considers network utilization when load balancing virtual computing instances (VCIs) in a cluster. The scheduler also periodically evaluates proposed migrations based on a current cluster snapshot including network utilization data of the hosts. Proposed migrations are removed and/or prioritized to prevent network saturation in the cluster.
