<DIV><FONT face="verdana, sans-serif">we know that there is a scheduler-as-a-service[1] working in progress now, aiming at smart resource placement and also providing the instance group API work for nova.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>For the "smart" portion, maybe you should take a look at </DIV>

<DIV>And for the DRS feature, I think it's more likely to be fit in nova conductor's role. After all the migration task have been moved to conductor, then some feature like DRS could be discussed as the next step.</DIV>
