Server-to-container migration

For each server under consideration for container migration, whether the server has a value for a first parameter that precludes the server from being migrated to a container is determined. Each server having a value that precludes the serve from being migrated to a container is removed from further consideration. For each server remaining under consideration, a value of the server for each second parameter of a number of second parameters is determined, and the values of the server for the second parameters are weighted to yield a weight for the server. The servers remaining under consideration for migration are ranked based at least on the weights for the servers, yielding an order in which the servers are to migrated.
