Hi, Currently in CloudStack architecture, domains can have dedicated zones but not pods, clusters or hosts.
We are proposing this functionality in "Dedicated Resources" where a domain or a sub-domain can have dedicated pods, clusters or hosts. Why we need this feature: Dedicating a zone might be very expensive offering for an end users, whereas dedicating a pod, cluster or a host may be more economical. This feature will allow Root-Admin to dedicate resources to a specific domain that needs private infrastructure for additional security or performance guarantees. In this feature - Root Admin should be able to dedicate a pod/cluster/host to a particular domain or sub-domain. - Any users in that domain can access pod/cluster/host dedicated to their domain. - No users outside that domain, can access the dedicated pod, cluster or hosts (eg. deploy instance on that pod/cluster/host). - If there is no available resources in the dedicated pod/cluster/host, then CloudStack should fail the operation for a user in that domain. I have filed a jira request: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-681, to track this feature. Please let me know any comments and suggestions. Thanks Deepti
