Help regarding Resource allocation in CloudStack 4.0

[Kausal Malladi <mk...@gmail.com>]

Hi,
I am trying to explore and understand "Compute Controller" component of the
CloudStack architecture. Can anyone help me with any document regarding the
same?
I would appreciate if someone helps me with the module that takes care of
its implementation.

Thanks and Regards,

As Sebastien has pointed out in IRC - there is the Allocator Algorithm
guide which does an ok job of presenting an understanding of how
things work. Much of that is unchanged - though the allocators are now
plugins, so structure has changed, but not really the logic behind the
allocators themselves.

You probably should also take a look at Chiradeep and Alex's talk on
architecture here:

and

Again - a lot of this has or is changing, but should provide a good
foundation for understanding.
