Kind regards, Yuriy.


I thought the default behavior in essex was spread-first:

From:

https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/stable/essex/nova/scheduler/least_cost.py#L41

cfg.FloatOpt('compute_fill_first_cost_fn_weight',
default=-1.0,
help='How much weight to give the fill-first cost function. '
'A negative value will reverse behavior: '
'e.g. spread-first'),

Hi Lorin!

The behaviour actually changed late in Essex:
