Is there (or will there ever be) a way of making sure droplets are distributed across physical machines?
Say that I would like to spin up 45 small/medium nodes running redis, and 2/3 of those act as replicas for failover; the whole effort would be a bit futile if they all end up running on the same physical server, or if the replica triplets all run on the same server. Is there a way to request that they go on different physical machines? (The same issue applies for the web frontend as well, really)
If not, is there a way to detect the host and ‘manually’ bring droplets up and down until they have an acceptable distribution? Do you ever move running droplets?
