4 | 4 | It serves as a means to configure network, storage, type of machine and other information needed to create a VM. The `MachineController` reconciler leverages this information to determine where the machine needs to be created and the type of machine that needs to be created along with the required `Network` and `Storage` configuration which will be further passed to respective `NetworkController` and `StorageController`. |

49 | 49 | - **Monitor Unassigned Machines**: The scheduler continuously watches for machines without an assigned `machinePoolRef`. |
50 | 50 | - **Retrieve Available Machine Pools**: The scheduler fetches the list of available machine pools from the cache. |
51 | 51 | - **Make Scheduling Decisions**: The scheduler selects the most suitable machine pool based on resource availability and other policies. |
52 | 52 | - **Update Cache**: The scheduler updates the cache with recalculated allocatable `machineClass` quantities. |
53 | 53 | - **Assign MachinePoolRef**: The scheduler assigns the selected `machinePoolRef` to the machine object. |
