Abstract

Examples described herein include virtualized file servers which may include load balancing. For example, a recommendation engine may estimate a load associated with each of a plurality of file server virtual machines in a cluster. Based on the load, the recommendation engine may recommend changing ownership of one or more volume groups, scaling up the virtualized file server, scaling down the virtualized file server, scaling in the virtualized file server, scaling out the virtualized file server, or combinations thereof.
