<p>Dear colleagues!</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Let me introduce myself first. My name is Artem Pervin, software engineer developer of the Program System Institute of RAS.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>One of the project I'm currently working on seems to be conceptually very similar to the OpenNebula.</p>
<p>We have developed a framework to manage virtual appliances on a cluster of virtual machines. Also there</p>
<p>is an automatic tool which may redistribute resources among appliances in an on-demand mode based upon </p>
<p>their changing resources needs. This component is a conceptual equivalent of Haizea, I think. I will </p>
<p>provide more detailed description of our research if you like.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Currently we're focused on the scheduling component, that will implement quite sophisticated algorithms of optimal control </p>
<p>theory to ensure efficient use of resources with an acceptable service level of virtual appliances in the real time mode.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>How do think, may such functionality be of interest for the users of OpenNebula? If so, we would be</p>
<p>glad to develop a custom scheduler for OpenNebula to test our ideas in your framework and to exchange some </p>
<p>experience in implementation of a VM manager. Are there any instructions on developing a custom scheduler </p>
<p>for OpenNebula? Could you please share some of them?</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Best regards,</p>
<p>Artem Pervin </p>
