The Host-Pool plugin is an infrastrcture-provisioning plugin that is used in conjunction with the Cloudify Host-Pool Service to use hosts from a pool of existing hosts. When the plugin is requested to provision a host, it makes a request to the host-pool service which, in turn, looks for available matching hosts inside the pool, and assigns one to that request. The same flow is executed when the plugin is requested to release that host. »
