I would like to know how the sharing of resources happening in OpenStack. Assume that there are two compute nodes of 4 physical cores each with 16 GB of Physical RAM each, would I be able to start an instance with 8 cores and 32 Gb of RAM. How this is handled in Openstack.

Please guide me.

-Dhanasekaran.

Each nova-compute sends the available stats(CPU,Memory, Disk) to the controller. This stat is updated every minute by all nova-computes When a VM is booted, flavor is one of the parameters the scheduler considers to find a suitable compute host. In your case, if you have defined a flavor 8 CPUs and 32 GB memory, the scheduler will not find any suitable host and nova boot will fail with "NoValidHost" error
