--- fixes: - | There had been `bug 1777591`_ that placement filters out the specified target host when deploying an instance by the random limitation. In previous releases the bug has been worked around by unlimiting the results from the Placement service if the target host is specified. From this release, the Nova scheduler uses more optimized path retrieving only the target host information from placement. Note that it still uses the unlimit workaround if a target host is specified without a specific node and multiple nodes are found for the target host. This can happen in some of the virt drivers such as the Ironic driver. .. _bug 1777591: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1777591
