I don’t think this type of thing exists yet (unless you’re talking bare-metal / Ironic).

> ·         Dedicated hosts: goes beyond dedicated instances, allowing an OpenStack tenant to explicitly place only specific VM instances onto the same compute host (for example, as the tenant I want to place VMs foo and bar onto the same compute host to share a software license that is licensed per host).
