[one-ecosystem] About features 201 Clustering/Grouping of Physical Hosts

[Ignacio Martin Llorente]

Hi

The new functionality in issue 201 will allow users to define the cluster where they would like to run the service (group of VMs). Some of our users requested this functionality for example to manage clusters with different levels of security, or clusters with different hardware devices for different types of workloads profiles. It could be also used to define geographical location if you have clusters located at different sites.  However, the management of different sites is usually performed by different OpenNebula instances. So you could create a federation of cloud sites by using the support for hybrid cloud computing given by OpenNebula.

Regards

Thanks to that the client will have the possibility to choose the location of his data, like the availability zone in Eucalyptus/EC2. Have you seen this feature also with this kind of use case?
