There are many choices for your scheduler. As stated earlier, this
is a conceptually simple, but vitally important part of your deployment.
The scheduler places instances (virtual servers) onto specific compute
hosts. While this may not be vitally important if you only have one or two
compute nodes, it is absolutely critical once you start to grow. Most
installations will start with the simple scheduler and then write their own
scheduler as they grow. If writing your own scheduler is not feasible for
your installation, the next version of Nova (“Diablo”) will feature more
choices.
