An organization has a vSphere 7.0 environment with three ESXi hosts (Host A, B, C) in a cluster. Each host has 256 GB of RAM and 2 sockets with 16 cores each. The cluster hosts 50 VMs with varying resource requirements. The administrator enabled vSphere DRS and set the migration threshold to 3 (conservative).
