One of the original design tenets of the scheduler was that we did not want to artificially limit what people could use to control their deployments, but inside of Nova there is a lot of confusion as to whether anyone is using anything but the included filters.

Internal cloud that is used for Power KVM CI single use VMs:

AvailabilityZoneFilter
AggregateMultiTenancyIsolation
RetryFilter
RamFilter
ComputeFilter
ComputeCapabilitiesFilter
ImagePropertiesFilter
CoreFilter
NumInstancesFilter *
NUMATopologyFilter

NumInstancesFilter is a custom weigher I have added that returns
negative number of instances on a host. Using it this way gives an
even spread of instances over the compute nodes up to a point the
compute cores are filled up evenly, then it overflows to the compute
nodes with more CPU cores. Maybe it is possible to achieve the same
with existing filters, at the time I did not see how.
