Hi Chris,

> I'm pretty sure a regular user can create a server group and specify the anti-affinity filter. 

yes, but we want that the user specifies just the Robustness; the way in which we assign the instances to the compute nodes should be a black box for the regular user(and also for the admin).

Because putting the instances in the correct compute nodes is just the first step of the algorithm that we are implementing, for the next steps we need to know where is each instance.

Thank you for the question.

Best regards Giuseppe
