# Can Other Services Run on the Same Hypervisors as Platform9 Managed OpenStack?

## Problem

Is it possible to run other services on the same host which is running Platform9 Services as well? (e.g. Docker)

## Environment

* Platform9 Managed OpenStack - All Versions

## Answer

It is **not recommended** that you run services/products other than the ones required for Platform9 Managed OpenStack (PMO) on the same hypervisor. While there are no inherent conflicts between PMO and other products, it is possible that one of the other services may starve for resources and eventually run into errors.

OpenStack's default scheduling algorithm makes decisions based on allocation and not on current usage. This may result in virtual machines [(VM)](https://docs.platform9.com/getting-started/linux-kvm-support-prerequisites-platform9-openstack/) getting scheduled on hosts where some other process for instance, Docker or Jenkins is already consuming a large portion of CPU and/or Memory. This may result in erroneous/non-functional VMs.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://platform9.com/kb/pmo/frequently-asked-questions/can-other-services-run-on-the-same-hypervisors-as-platform9-man.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
