- New placement policies include Affinity and Anti-affinity.
- Scopes of Affinity/Anti-affinity are, in a target Cloud Region, across Availability-zones and optionally, across compute hosts.
- Applications of Affinity/Anti-affinity are workloads (VDUs) within a VNF or workloads across VNFs.
- Opportunity to standardize many other placement policies (e.g., Beside Affinity/Anti-affinity, include Exclusivity, Quorum-Diversity, etc.) in VNFD and Policy.
- Integrated into OOF/HAS (maybe initially as dark mode (PoC) for evaluation over Dublin).
