OpenStack Compute (nova)

Support filtering by aggregate membership to allocation candidates

Registered by Jay Pipes

The list of resource providers that the placement API's ``GET
/allocation_candidates`` returns can be very large, particularly when many
compute hosts are empty. Sometimes nova may have information that would allow
the number of compute hosts to be dramatically reduced. For instance, if nova
knows that a particular project is "pinned" to a host aggregate, currently nova
asks placement for all the resource providers that meet the resource
requirements of the flavor and then promptly discards any compute hosts that
are not in that particular host aggregate (in the aggregate multi-tenancy
isolation filter).

This process could be much more efficient if the nova scheduler were to simply
ask placement to only return compute hosts that are associated with a nova host
aggregate.

    Add 'member_of' param to GET /allocation_candidates

Merged on March 17th, 2018.

    Address issues raised in adding member_of to GET /a-c

Given the spec amendment https://review.openstack.org/#/c/555413/ to add AND logic to the member_of parameter in a new microversion, to be built on top of 1.21, we should probably re-open this blueprint. -- mriedem 20180328
