We would love to have something like that as well.

However, to do it in openstack would mean that something would have to 
gather/monitor the health of the HV's and not only disable new provisions but 
kick off/monitor the migrations off the host and onto the new chosen 
destinations .  Also, due to the fact that some migration may never complete 
(dirtying pages faster than you can copy them) it would have to have some 
smarts to select the vm's that have the higher chance of being migrated.

We have done it with nagios checks and customize ruby code.

Subject: [Openstack-operators] Workload Management (post-instantiation)

Hello fellow Ops-minded stackers!

I understand OpenStack uses scheduler logic to place a VM on a host to ensure 
the load is balanced across hosts. My 64 million dollar question is: Has anyone 
identified a way to monitor capacity across all hosts on an ongoing basis and 
automatically live migrate VM's as needed to ensure hosts resource consumption 
is balanced over time?

It seems the scheduler addresses capacity at the time of instantiation but 
there's nothing that addresses optimal usage AFTER the VM is initially placed.

Thoughts/experiences?
