AutoBalancerLevel

Question

I am confused and not sure which one takes precedent or if Microsoft just changed things.

But when it comes to cluster node fairness I have found two resources that show the autobalancerlevel 3 has two different aspects.

In one it represents - Balance when CPU or memory load exceeds 60%.
Found Here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/desktop/mscs/clusters-autobalancerlevel

On the other, it represents - Average nodes and moves when the host is more than 5% above average
Found here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/failover-clustering/vm-load-balancing-deep-dive

Thoughts or anyone know?

Hi,
Since both of the links you gave are Microsoft official documents and relevant information I can find is limited, if you want to know which statement is more correct, you can do a test to verify it.
If there are any errors in the document, you are welcome to give us some feedback.

Thanks for your time!
Best Regards,
