Abstract
Load balancing in a Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI) environment, in which a compute migration request is received that indicates a virtual machine to be migrated, a source appliance in which the virtual machine is currently executing, and a destination appliance to which the virtual machine is to be moved by the requested compute migration. The technology determines whether performing the requested compute migration would cause the virtual machine to experience an increased remote data storage Input/Output (I/O) performance penalty as a result of moving the virtual machine to the destination appliance. The disclosed technology may prevent the requested compute migration from being performed in response at least in part to a determination that the requested compute migration would cause the virtual machine to experience an increased remote data storage I/O performance penalty as a result of moving the virtual machine to the destination appliance.
