Abstract

A method comprising, in a cloud computing system: receiving a new job at the cloud computing system; sampling VMs (Virtual Machines) of the cloud computing system for the load currently handled by each of the VMs; if the load currently handled by the VMs is within operational bounds, sending the new job to one of the VMs which currently handles the highest load compared to other ones of the VMs; and if the load currently handled by the VMs is beyond operational bounds, sending the new job to one of the VMs which currently handles the lowest load compared to other ones of the VMs.
