Would dedicating a pod/cluster to a domain also not require dedicating the primary storage. This is because it would appear that if performance/security is the primary reason for dedicating resources, then that would also be true for primary storage. Also Would it be not be better to specify cluster as the last level of granularity for resource that can be dedicated to a domain rather than a host? So cases where a single host needs to be dedicated to a domain, it would equate to a cluster with a single host.
