Yes definitely as an operator, you want to oversubscribe hosts. What I was mentioning is that there are still small benefits when an host is not full: the CPU gains _and_, for users, the fact that they're not paying/paying less (even though the operator is still paying for the full underutilized hypervisor, but hey, that's the game)

Hey!

You got everything correctly. The advantages are: - For the end-user: not paying or paying less - For the hypervisor owner: a sleeping instance uses no CPU, so it reduces the load on the hypervisor

Other than that, it's still possible to oversubscribe, but you're right, we need to trump the scheduler. Another cool thing is that in the worst case scenario where an hypervisor gets full and it's over capacity, sleeping instances are great candidates for eviction.
