Node Placement
Rules for which node receives a new VM within a region
Node placement
When a new VM is ordered in a region with multiple eligible nodes, node placement decides which hypervisor receives it.
Placement affects operations, not preflight directly, but an overloaded node still fails plan_capacity. This step is optional; a single-node region works without it.
Strategies
| Strategy | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Round-robin | Spread new VMs across eligible nodes |
| Fill-first | Pack onto fullest node until capacity fails |
| Weighted | Prefer specific nodes when multiple pass preflight |
Configure rules at /infrastructure/node-placement after your nodes exist.
