The point of specifying a host is in deploy request itself means
inclination towards using that host for instance. Hence I think default value
should be false.
While global setting makes sense, rather than a global setting, it would be
better to add optional parameter in API itself which indicates whether deploy
should strictly try deployment on specific host, if any, or look for other
hosts as well. That way more granular control in case by case perspective.
