<div dir="ltr">If you look at openstack, they use a message queue for dispatching (rabbitmq), but I think opennebula has a more elegant and simpler solution. VMs in large environments can be deployed in batches because there are several nodes that can deploy them at once, so once in 30 seconds for a opennebula cluster of 50 hypervisors like in our environment is 6000 VMs per hour!</div>

<p dir="ltr">My question comes because I'm working on improving the deployment time of VMs for my master thesis, and I understood that I can choose to deploy VMs little by little, or immediately as they come but I can't see the cases in which deploy VMs little by little would be better that process them immediately.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Dear all,<div>I do not understand the usefulness of the scheduler parameter "SCHED_INTERVAL". Why the scheduler act as a periodic task and have to wait a fixed period to schedule all the pending jobs instead of to be event-driven and schedule immediately a request?</div>

<div><br></div><div>The usefulness of the SCHED_INTERVAL is that, combined with the other config parameters [1] MAX_DISPATCH and MAX_HOST, allows you to configure a "buffer" to deploy VMs little by little, or immediately as they come.</div>
