      Description

      How does a service template designer provide additional "constraints" to the provider deploying the template in order to convey preference of certain node types (or resources) over another.

      Example:
      A service template declares its need for a Firewall node, but prefers type AAA over type XXX due to reliability.

      Notes:
      Aaron: High Level Suggestion: Extend TOSCA NodeTemplate/NodeType to support specifying additional conditions for target VM resources.
      Options:
      a) Let the deployer specify/recommends the firewall(s) he trusts
      b) Let the deployer specify the firewall(s) he doesn't trust.
      Matt: Perhaps an alternative use case using an artifact type to allow desire for matching to a specific Java runtime (provider, version) over another. Could these be constraints expressed as Reg. Exp. against node or artifact properties?
