Also Chip has shared a visual realization of planners here : http://www.chipchilders.com/blog/2013/7/22/visualizing-the-cloudstack-planners-in-action.html

Looks like deployment planner is like intelligent placement on Hyper-v or Vmware DRS but only the placement part. First we can not find explanations of implicitdedicationplanner and bare metal planner , any one know about it ? Second what is planner mode ? What is relation between deployment planner and planner mode ? If we choose deployment planner must we set the planner mode too ? Maybe sounds like stupid but , another thing is we can not imagine some deployment planners, for example if we are running cloud and have a resource, default behaviour should be spread everything almost equal , why people want to put vms depend same account on same pod/cluster or what happen if i have small number of vm on host but there is high resource usage on that hosts. For example KVM do not have an option like vmware drs , how cloudstack handle spread of vms on KVM cluster ? Regards VM
