For my personnal usage, I don't think it'll work, because I have a lot of differents workload at different time,
and some vms can use sometime 0% cpu and 80% at spike hours.

But indeed, dynamic stats is not easy to resolve.


Ovirt has a planned feature which use optaplanner

http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Optaplanner
This seem to do some kind of heuristics and maths (out of my competence ;), to known which vm migrate.





Another interesting whitepaper with algorithms
"Dynamic Load Balancing of Virtual Machines using QEMU-KVM"

or static weight.
