Apache CloudStack’s VM placement logic is powerful but often misunderstood. This session, held by Jithin Raju from ShapeBlue, explains how CloudStack selects the most suitable deployment destination across zones, pods, clusters, hosts, and storage. Jithin breaks down the roles of deployment planners, allocation algorithms, and capacity checks, and shows how these components work together to determine where a VM should run. Watch the session back to gain a clear understanding of CloudStack’s decision-making flow and to learn how to design and tune environments for predictable, efficient VM deployments.
