Personally I'm a bit worried about users having too fine a

big so you can afford to allow this and not have capacity issues, but
if I had to expose 40 different rack based zones it would be pretty
hard to stop everyone pilling into the first or last - when really
want they want to say is "not the same as"   or "the same as"  -
which makes me wonder if this is really the right way to go.    It
feels more like what we really want is some form of affinity and
anti-affinity rules  rather than an explicit choice of a particular
group.

I suspect in many cases server groups with affinity rules would go a long way, but currently the server group policies only select based on compute node.

It'd be nice to be able to do a heat template where you could specify things like "put these three servers on separate hosts from each other, and these other two servers on separate hosts from each other (but maybe on the same hosts as the first set of servers), and they all have to be on the same network segment because they talk to each other a lot and I want to minimize latency, and they all need access to the same shared instance storage for live migration".
