Personally, I think this is a good idea, since it can address a set of similar use cases like below: * I want to deploy a k8s cluster to 2 availability zone (in future 2 regions/clouds). * I want to spin up N nodes in AZ1, M nodes in AZ2. * I want to scale the number of nodes in specific AZ/region/cloud. For example, add/remove K nodes from AZ1 (with AZ2 untouched).
The use case above should be very common and universal everywhere. To address the use case, Magnum needs to support provisioning heterogeneous set of nodes at deploy time and managing them at runtime. It looks the proposed idea (manually managing individual nodes or individual group of nodes) can address this requirement very well. Besides the proposed idea, I cannot think of an alternative solution. Therefore, I vote to support the proposed idea.
