Hi Drew, Generally you need to create a new api extention and make some changes in the main servers.py The scheduler-hints API extension does this kind of thing, so if you look at: api/openstack/compute/contrib/scheduler_hints.py for how the extension is defined, and look in

Re: [openstack-dev] What key strings can we set in scheduler_hints param when boot an instance?

The hints are coded into the various scheduler filters, so the set supported on any install depends on what filters have been configured. I have a change under way (I need to just find the time to go back and fix the last wave of review comments) to expose what is supported via an API call

Hi, I think the concept of allowing users to request a cpu topology, but have a few questions / concerns: The host is exposing info about vCPU count it is able to support and the scheduler picks on that basis. The guest image is just declaring upper limits on topology it can support. So
