Hi Alan, 

Our Smart (Solver) Scheduler blueprint
(https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/solver-scheduler ) has been
in the works in the Nova community since late 2013.  We have demoed at the
Hong Kong summit, as well as the Atlanta summit,  use cases using this
smart scheduler for better, optimized resource placement with complex
constrained scenarios.  So to let you know this work was started as a
smart way of doing scheduling, applicable in general and not limited to
NFV.  Currently we feel NFV is a killer app for driving this blueprint and
work ahead, however is applicable for all kinds of resource placement
scenarios. 

We will be very interested in finding out more about your blueprints that
you are referring to here, and see how it can be integrated as part of our
future roadmap. 

Thanks,
Yathi.
