Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for distributing the load of a plurality of virtual machines across a plurality of hosts. A potential new host for a virtual machine executing on a current host is identified. A gain rate associated with migration of the virtual machine from the current host to the potential new host is calculated. A gain duration associated with migration of the virtual machine from the current host to the potential new host is also calculated. A migration cost for migration of the virtual machine from the current host to the potential new host, the migration cost being based on the gain rate and the gain duration is determined. It is then determined whether the migration cost is below a predefined threshold cost. Migration of the virtual machine from the current host to the optimal host is initiated in response to a determination that the migration cost is below the predefined threshold.
