Hey guys, 

I don't understand how adding more data to the *instances* table will be used for scheduling?

Perhaps what you're talking about is metadata in Glance on the source images?

If so, that data would simply be added to the required-capabilities that get passed into the scheduler during the run_instance() call and would be extracted from the Flavor/OS pair passed into boot().

What I missing something here? Feel free to talk to me like I'm a five year old :)
