Placement Usage
Tracking Resources
The placement service enables other projects to track their own resources. Those projects can register/delete their own resources to/from placement via the placement REST API.
The nova resource tracker is responsible for creating the resource
provider record corresponding to the compute host on which the resource
tracker runs. If other projects -- for example, Neutron or Cyborg --
wish to manage resources on a compute host, they should create resource
providers as children of the compute host provider and register their
own managed resources as inventory on those child providers. For more
information, see the Modeling with Provider Trees <provider-tree>
.
