• Uses psutil to monitor the network, memory and cpu usage of each VM and each host.

• Receives incoming create VM requests and routes them to appropiate hosts.

• Detects overloaded hosts and identifies VMs to migrate to reduce the load.

• Makes decisions based on %usage history(timeseries) and histogram(probability distribution of %usage).
