Resource maximization | Consolidates multiple low-utilization workloads onto a single host. Virtual machines are placed on that host until the limits are reached. | Use this option if you want to fully utilize one host before assigning virtual machines to additional hosts |
Load balancing | Minimizes the processing load on any one host. | Use this option if you want to distribute the performance load of your virtual machines evenly across your hosts. |
