Have you ever done this in practice?

One way of doing this would be to enable the host after adding it to a
host aggregate that only has your administrative tenant allowed. Then
launch an instance specifying some host aggregate extra_spec tag and the
launch request will go to that host...

At Rackspace scheduling builds against disabled hosts has been done, or
I am misremembering.

Cool, good to know. Just trying to get my head around the use cases.

As I did say, there are probably other ways around it. A host group AZ
might just work.

Yeah, I think a solution that doesn't rely on a CONF option would be my preference. Allowing administrative override of scheduling decisions entirely is OK, I guess. But I'd almost prefer an ability that simply sidesteps the scheduler altogether and allows the admin to directly launch an instance on a compute node directly without even needing to go through the RESTful tenant API at all.

Anyway, something to ponder...

Best,
