Last I checked, heat doesn't support creating server groups.  Is it 
possible to use GroupAntiAffinityFilter without server groups?

I'm thinking of a setup where you may have multiple shared storage 
zones, such that not all compute nodes have access to the same storage 
(for performance reasons).

Similarly, in a large environment it's possible that compute nodes don't 
all have access to the same network.
