How so? It seems like a sufficiently smart comp^H^H^H^Hservice could figure out how to distribute machines across them, even if the user doesn't know they exist

Turns out it's a moot point anyway, because cells are client-visible, and have been contributed upstream to OpenStack as a Nova extension.
- oasisbob 12y agoIt's not a moot point. Just because cell info is in Nova doesn't mean it's publicly visible. The only way we find out about cell locality is when our account rep gives us an updated spreadsheet. We've inquired about this several times. If you happen to actually use the Rackspace public cloud and know a specific API call we're missing, I'd love to hear it.
