Apologies, accidentally sent that before I added the documentation:

What you are looking for is the AggregateInstanceExtraSpecsFilter. Simply add some metadata to an aggregate, eg:
compute_standard: "True"
and then add extra specs to the flavor you want to map to that aggregate like:
"aggregate_instance_extra_specs:compute_standard": "True"

CAUTION: This email originates from outside THG
Hey, all. I'm looking for a way to to filter to a particular aggregate based on arbitrary VM metadata. (E.g., maybe FACTER facts from Puppet that we pass to the VM as metadata.) Could someone point me toward documentation that might outline how to accomplish that? As I see it, there's really one thing I need to understand -- the rest I can probably glean from extant filters: how (or if) a filter could access a given VM's metadata from the API creation request (if that's even possible).
Thanks!
