Adding Memory Overcommitment Manager (MOM) to oVirt

[Adam Litke]

Hi all,

I would like propose adding the Memory Overcommitment Manager (MOM) project to
oVirt.  MOM is a daemon that is used to apply dynamic host-level and VM-level
tuning according to a customizable policy.  Today MOM can control memory
ballooning and KSM.  Please see the following links for more information:

Source code:

KVM Forum presentation and video:

developerWorks article:

In my view, MOM could be nicely integrated with oVirt-node and VDSM.  I am
looking forward to your comments and am ready to address some next steps.

Thanks!
