[Christian Parpart <trapni@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I am looking for a (Essex) Nova scheduler plugin that parses the
scheduler_hints to get a hostname of the
hypervisor to spawn the actual VM on, rejecting any other node.

This allows us to explicitely spawn a VM on a certain host (yes, there are
really usecases where you want that). :-)

I was trying to build my own and searching around since I couldn't believe
I was the only one, but didn't find one yet.

Does anyone of you maybe have the skills to actually write that simple
plugin, or even maybe knows where such
a plugin has already been developed?

Many thanks in advance,
Christian Parpart.
