<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Hi,<br><br>I'm writing a survey on Clouds for research purposes. I have some questions related to the match-making scheduler that OpenNebula uses:<br><br>1. it's not clear for me if the placement policies can be configured per VM type or per VM instance, could you clarify this?<br><br>2. are the placement policies configurable per cloud client or for the whole cloud platform?<br><br>3. is it possible to configure the policies in such a way as to distribute a client's VMs across the physical hosts in such a way as to reduce the probability of platform failure as a result of hardware failure? Is this do-able without modifying the source code of OpenNebula?<br><br><br>Thanks very much,<br><br>Adrian Muresan<br></td></tr></table><br>
