I have some plans for being able to set arbitrary "capabilities" for
hosts via nova.conf that you can use to build scheduler filters.
Right now, there are capabilities, but I believe we're only creating
these from hypervisor stats. You can filter on those today. What I'm
planning on adding is a way to specify additional keyname/value pairs in
nova.conf to supplement the capabilities we build from hypervisor stats.
You could set things like this in your nova.conf:
--host_capabilities=instance_type_ids=1,2,3;keyX;keyY=something
etc. Since capabilities are already passed to scheduler rules, you could
add some basic filters that do:
if 'instance_type_ids' in capabilities and instance_type.id not in
capabilities['instance_type_ids']:
return False
Since host_capabilities are just arbitrary keyname/value pairs, you can
pretty much add anything you want to --host_capabilities and then write
some matching scheduler filter rules.
That's the basic idea, anyway. The exact same behavior will apply to
'cells' and the cells scheduler as well. (Except you'll have
cells_capabilities= somewhere (prob nova.conf for the cells service).

Hi Folks,
I’m looking for a capability to limit some flavours to some hosts. I
want the mapping to be as flexible as possible, and work within a
zone/cell (I don’t want to add zones just to get this mapping). For
example I want to express something like:
Host_1 supports flavours A, C
Host_2 supports flavours A, B
Host_3 supports flavours A, B, C
Host_4 supports flavours D
Ideally there would be some form of grouping to sets of flavours:
Flavour_A is part of Flavour_Sets 1, 2, 3
Flavour_B is part of Flavour_Sets 2, 3
Flavour_C is part of Flavour_Sets 1, 3, 4
Host_1 supports flavour Set 1
Host_2 supports flavour Set 2
Host_3 supports flavour Set 3
Host_4 supports flavour Set 4
>From the Essex design summit I thought that host aggregates was going to give this sort of capability, but having looked through the code that seems to be quite tightly coupled with specific hypervisor functionality, whereas this is purely a scheduler feature.
I can see that I could define flavour group membership through the
instanace_type_extra_specs, but not how to then associate these with
specific hosts.
I know I’m a tad behind some of the recent changes – so before
suggesting a design summit session on this I thought I’d ask - is
there something that already does this type of mapping ?
Cheers,
Phil
