Hi, is it possible to do this with Proxmox :

In a cluster of three PVE servers, start a vm remotely from a standalone PC (API, CLI ?) and let PVE figure out which server has the lowest load (i.e. the lowest CPU load + the highest free memory) to start the VM there.

I don't know if PVE offer already this kind of tasks, or I need to write myself a script that checks the load on each server and select the right server after.

Thank you.
