Interesting scenarios open up if we can have the scheduler intelligently
direct workloads based on config/metadata.

Hi John,

 

Maybe the problem with host aggregates is that it too quickly became
something that was linked to hypervisor capability, rather than being the
more general mechanism of which one form of aggregate could be linked to
hypervisor capabilities ?

 

Should we have a "host aggregates 2.0" session at the Design Summit ?

I think the primary use case is associating metadata with groups of hosts
that can be interpreted by the scheduler.  Obviously, this same metadata can
be used to create pools/etc. in the hypervisor, but we can't forget about
the scheduler.  Modifying flags on the hosts for capabilities is ugly.
