Woah there, why are we talking about scaling?

I'm not 100% confident in my knowledge of availability zones, but aren't they just a lightweight concept that is basically nothing more than a property on compute nodes? How does scaling come in to play?

IMO AZs seem to be very much nova-centric and that data belongs to Nova or *potentially* some sort of orchestration service. The same goes for host aggregate groups, which I still very much confuse with AZs.

Once again, my terminology may be off but I feel like you're talking about cells?

Many installations of Nova (including ours) do not use one giant Nova
database that stores data for instances in multiple availability zones.
To scale more effectively, we have a single Nova database for one
availability zone in a region.
