This feature(affinity/anti-affinity group) is in master branch already. After login to cloudstack UI, there is a new icon "Affinity Groups" in left menu. You can create anti-affinity group or affinity group there.
Then, click "Instances" menu => click "Add Instance" => there is a new step (step 5: Affinity) where you can choose Affinity/anti-affinity group for the VM you are going to deploy. -----Original Message----- From: Chip Childers [mailto:chip.child...@sungard.com] Sent: Monday, April 29, 2013 12:15 PM To: <users@cloudstack.apache.org> Subject: Re: Deployment of VMs running cluster services On Apr 29, 2013, at 3:12 PM, David Ortiz <dpor...@outlook.com> wrote: > Hello, > Does cloudstack have a way to specify that two or more VMs should not be > launched on the same host?
