Algorithm

Policies

Characteristic

Available Capacity

Migration Delay

Number of VM

Host power

Least utilized host [21]

√

   

Base on a host with minimum resources

Not cover number of VMs on the host

Static Threshold [21]

√

   

Depend on the mean of the last CPU used

Difficult to find the optimal value of the threshold

Available capacity [14]

√

   

Base on available host capacity compared to others; Not necessary PMs has less power than the other

Migration delay [14]

 

√

  

Base on minimum time to complete VMs migration process; Need a lot of predication and estimation

Hybrid [14]

√

√

√

 

based on MCDM

More complicated and difficult for practical

Weighted CPU utilization [124]

√

 

√

 

Combines host utilization and number of VMs

Need less computation then hybrid
