Hi You can group physical hosts in clusters with different levels of security or with different hardware devices (AFAIK these two are the more typical scenarios). For example you could have two different clusters, one with a low latency/high bandwidth network for tightly coupled services (a computing cluster to execute HPC MPI applications) and another with a higher latency for loosely coupled services (a computing cluster to execute HTC multi-task applications). Users can then use the requirements attribute to define the suitable cluster for their workload.
