Smarter Workload Placement with VM Groups
September 17, 2026 @ 5 pm CEST / 11 am EDT
About This Office Hours Session
OpenNebula gives you flexible scheduling options to manage VM placement across your infrastructure. VM Groups extend this functionality, allowing you to organize related VMs into roles and define rules that determine where they run across your hosts.
In this session, we’ll discuss how VM Groups work in OpenNebula and how to use them to control workload placement based on your specific needs.
What we’ll cover:
- VM Groups overview: Understand VM Groups, roles, and how they interact with the OpenNebula scheduler.
- Placement policies: Explore the different placement policies available with VM Groups and learn how and when to use them effectively.
- Practical examples: Learn how to use VM Groups to solve common workload placement challenges.
- Live Q&A: Ask questions about VM Groups and workload placement and get answers directly from OpenNebula experts.
Whether you need to spread redundant VMs for higher availability, keep related workloads together, or enforce specific placement constraints, join this session and learn how to achieve it with VM Groups.
