High level notes:

* We are doing resize because cells can be sharded by flavors and resize is the only non-admin way for users to opt into migrating from one cell with an old flavor (gen1) to a new flavor (gen2) in a new cell. This eases up admins/operators to drain old cells with old hardware.

* Currently a resize restricts the selected destination host to the existing cell; we'll add a policy rule to allow overriding that behavior in the scheduler so candidate target hosts are pulled from all cells. As part of this, we'll add a weigher which by default selects hosts from the current cell if possible to avoid unnecessary cross-cell migrations.

* We'll add a new task to conductor to orchestrate the cross-cell resize since it will be substantially different from the existing cold migrate / resize task.

* The conductor will perform pre-migration checks similar to the live migration task where the destination compute will be validated to make sure things like volumes and ports attached to the instance will continue to work on the destination host in the target cell.

* A cross-cell resize will leverage the existing shelve offload operation in the compute so that we shelve offload from the source host in cell1 and unshelve into the target host in cell2.

* The new conductor task will orchestrate creation of the instance and its related records (BDMs and tags) in the target cell and updating the instance mapping to point at the new cell. When the instance is deleted from the source cell and when the instance mapping record is updated (during or after the unshelve to the new cell) is TBD.

* The API will have to deal with the same instance living temporarily in multiple cells when listing instances and hide one of them based on the instance mapping (or simply the task_state/migration status). Given this should be a small window of time, at least for volume-backed instances, it may be left for a later bug to address/optimize.

* Cross-cell resize will support the same confirm/revert semantics as normal resize today. Reverting a cross-cell resize will delete the instance from the target cell and recreate it in the source cell (note that the original source host might change if the instance was offloaded).

* There are some shelve-related bugs which fixing would be in our best interest before we build more functionality onto the shelve / unshelve workflow, those are linked to this blueprint.

* A formal design spec will follow once a proof of concept is written and basic testing has begun.
