This is very low priority bug. You can only see the view above if you are an admin, so 'internal' is only a key word in those cases.
The use can only use this to make their own host fail to boot. While it might be nicer to validate their AZ up front, I'm not entirely convinced this is any different than them trying to push to the 'bogus' az. ** Changed in: nova Status: New => Opinion ** Changed in: nova Status: Opinion => Confirmed ** Changed in: nova Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: nova Importance: Low => Wishlist ** Changed in: nova Status: Confirmed => Opinion -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo!

Services such as nova-scheduler, nova-network, and nova-conductor appear in the AZ named "internal". (ref: http://docs.openstack.org/openstack-ops/content/scaling.html) For example: $ nova availability-zone-list +-----------------------+----------------------------------------+ | Name | Status | +-----------------------+----------------------------------------+ | internal | available | | |- node1 | | | | |- nova-conductor | enabled :-) 2015-12-07T11:38:09.000000 | | | |- nova-consoleauth | enabled :-) 2015-12-07T11:38:05.000000 | | | |- nova-scheduler | enabled :-) 2015-12-07T11:38:12.000000 | | | |- nova-cert | enabled :-) 2015-12-07T11:38:07.000000 | | nova | available | | |- node2 | | | | |- nova-compute | enabled :-) 2015-12-07T11:38:12.000000 | | |- node3 | | | | |- nova-compute | enabled :-) 2015-12-07T11:38:12.000000 | +-----------------------+----------------------------------------+ However, we can schedule an instance to the "internal" AZ using following command: $ nova boot --flavor 42 --image <image> --availability-zone "internal" test Succeed with no error message!
