Passing stack ID from heat to nova-scheduler.

Registered by Kamil Gardziejczyk

Nova-scheduler should be aware of stack which is taking a create action on the VM. Stack ID generated by heat could be passed as a scheduler hint to nova-scheduler.
filter_properties:{
               'scheduler_hints': {
               'stack_id': 8c19174f-4220-44f0-824a-cd1eeef10287
}
}

Whiteboard

Just a comment:

we do support nova hints now, see:
https://github.com/openstack/heat/blob/master/templates/InstanceGroup.template#L49

So you could achieve what you are after with:

"NovaSchedulerHints": [ {"Key": "stack_id", "Value": {"Ref": "AWS::StackId"}}],

shardy: I think what is actually desired here is to pass the *instance* ID to nova via NovaSchedulerHints - we support this for individual instance resources via Ref, but not for InstanceGroups or AutoScalingGroups (which based on the differenthostfilter example above is likely to be what the reporter wants?)

(stevebaker) OS::Nova::Server already has a scheduler_hints property

(?)
