Abstract
A method, apparatus, and program product deploy a workload on a host within a computer system having a plurality of hosts. Different hosts may be physically located in proximity to different resources, such as storage and network I/O modules, and therefore exhibit different latency when accessing the resources required by the workload. Eligible hosts within the system are evaluated for their capacity to take on a given workload, then scored on the basis of their proximity to the resources required by the workload. The workload is deployed on a host having sufficient capacity to run it, as well as a high affinity score.
