    Hello Blair<br>
    <br>
    IMO it's a matter of capacity planning and design to minimize
    fragmentation. I don't know of any mechanisms to filter this and
    solve (i.e. re-balance) a posteriori. Blueprints exists, though, to
    allow re-scheduling and re-balancing.<br>
    <br>
    Maybe I'm wrong and there are indeed some scheduler filters out of
    the box...<br>
    <br>
    Anyways, I recommend you to read this:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://rhsummit.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/deterministic-capacity-planning-for-openstack-final.pdf">http://rhsummit.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/deterministic-capacity-planning-for-openstack-final.pdf</a><br>
    and open this spreadsheet:
    <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/noslzzp/cloud-resource-calculator">https://github.com/noslzzp/cloud-resource-calculator</a> , it will show
    you the optimal flavor configuration for minimal fragmetation using
    different variables (vcpu, RAM, disk)<br>
    <br>
    Regards<br>

        </div>
        <div>I'm trying to wrap my head around whether it's possible
          with the existing scheduler filters, to put a limit per host
          on the number of instances per instance-type/flavor? I don't
          think this is possible with the existing filters or weights,
          but it seems like a fairly common requirement.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>The issue I'm thinking of using this for is that of
          instance-to-host fragmentation in homogenous deployments,
          where there is a tendency as the zone approaches capacity to
          hit a utilisation ceiling - there are rarely any "gaps" large
          enough for high vcpu count instances. I'm guessing that
          limiting the number of smaller instances per host would help
          to alleviate this.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>Looks like knocking up such a filter wouldn't be too hard,
          just want to check whether there is another way...?<br
