This section lists VMware vSphere^®Distributed Resource Scheduler™ (DRS) practices and configurations recommended by VMware for optimal performance.

DRS in General

• If appropriate for your workloads, consider selecting one of the higher-performing elastic DRS policies, Optimize for Best Performance or Optimize for Rapid Scale-Out, as described in About Elastic DRS.

• DRS actions are governed by compute policies, as described in Using Policies and Profiles. Note, however, that compute policies can be violated to allow maintenance operations.
