A mechanism for optimizing initial placement of virtual machines (VMs) to reduce memory consumption based on similar characteristics is disclosed. A method of embodiments of the invention includes identifying characteristics of a new virtual machine (VM) to be placed by a host controller on one of a plurality of candidate host machines and, for each candidate host machine of the plurality of candidate host machines, communicating with one or more VM agents each associated with a VM of one or more VMs hosted by the candidate host machine to identify characteristics of the one or more VMs. The method further includes identifying the candidate host with the most VMs having similar characteristics to the new VM. |
