.. watcher-term:: watcher.decision_engine.strategy.strategies.zone_migration.ZoneMigration
.. note::
The term ``Zone`` in the strategy name is not a reference to
`Openstack availability zones <https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/admin/availability-zones.html>`_
but rather a user-defined set of Compute nodes and storage pools.
Currently, migrations across actual availability zones is not fully tested
and might not work in all cluster configurations.

user can create an audit without specifying a value. However,
if **only** defaults parameters are used, there will be nothing
actionable for the audit.
* ``parallel_*`` parameters are not in reference to concurrency,
but rather on limiting the amount of actions to be added to the action
plan

Efficacy Indicator
------------------
The efficacy indicators for action plans built from the command line
are:
.. watcher-func::
:format: literal_block
watcher.decision_engine.goal.efficacy.specs.HardwareMaintenance.get_global_efficacy_indicator
In **Horizon**, these indictors are shown with alternative text.
* ``live_migrate_instance_count`` is shown as
``The number of instances actually live migrated`` in Horizon
* ``planned_live_migrate_instance_count`` is shown as
``The number of instances planned to live migrate`` in Horizon
* ``planned_live_migration_instance_count`` refers to the instances planned
to live migrate in the action plan.
* ``live_migrate_instance_count`` tracks all the instances that could be
migrated according to the audit input.

.. note::
* Currently, the strategy will not generate both volume migration and
instance migrations in the same audit. If both are requested,
only volume migrations will be included in the action plan.
* The Cinder model collector is not enabled by default.
If the Cinder model collector is not enabled while deploying Watcher,
the model will become outdated and cause errors eventually.
See the `Configuration option to enable the storage collector <https://docs.openstack.org/watcher/latest/configuration/watcher.html#collector.collector_plugins>`_ documentation.
Support caveats
---------------
This strategy offers the option to perform both Instance migrations and
Volume migrations. Currently, Instance migrations are ready for production
use while Volume migrations remain experimental.
