Hey Jay! Thanks for the clarification. There was another thing that I wanted to know, is there any provision to pass extra arguments or some extra specifications along with the VM request to nova. To give you some context, I wanted to pass a host:vm mapping to the nova scheduler for its host selection process, and I'm providing this mapping from outside of the openstack architecture.
Why do you want to do this? The scheduler is the thing that sets the host -> vm mapping -- that's what the process of scheduling does.

with the request to the scheduler. One way of doing this was creating new flavors with their extra specification as different hosts, but that would lead to as you pointed out earlier a "flavor explosion" problem. So is there a way to pass some extra arguments or some additional information to nova.
Depends what exactly you are trying to pass to Nova. Could you give some more information about your use case?
