Can soft affinity impact strict packing in OpenStack?

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • We use very strict packing so that we can use compute resources efficients.
  • Soft-affinity from what I understood try to fit vms in same compute if it can otherwise it will try another one.
  • In case of affinity as you know same situation some vms will fail.
  • In affinity it is a scheduler filter but soft affinity it is using weights.
  • Our concern is with soft affinity there is a possibility of undoing our packing?

Environment
