Description RHOS Integration 2013-12-12 13:46:33 UTC 
Cloned from launchpad blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/flavor-specific-cells.

Description:

In a cell setup there is currently no way to direct a build request to a specific cell. 

There are cases where a new cell can be added with the required infrastructure to support certain flavor types. This feature would allow build requests to be directed to cells which support the requested flavor types.

This would be another use case of cells apart from scaling.
