According to section 6 of the exam blueprint guide1, one of the topics covered is VM placement options.
When creating a new VM on an AHV cluster, there are two ways to determine its initial placement:
* Automatic placement: The Acropolis Dynamic Scheduler (ADS) selects a host that provides adequate resources for the VM's configuration, such as CPU, memory, disk space, and network bandwidth. ADS also considers factors such as host load, power state, availability domains, and affinity rules.
* Manual placement: The administrator can specify a host or a host group where they want to place the VM.
