VM Redundancy and Placement Affinity during Superclustering

VM Redundancy - Customer needs a way to spread certain workloads around cluster. IE - multiple DB workloads cannot exist on the same host due to risk aversion policies internally. Turbo has no way of mapping this automatically without creating hundreds of Do Not Place policies on a per VM basis. Customer needs to be able to configure "This set of VMs (DB Workloads) must be equally distributed across the hosts on this cluster". 

VM Anti-Affinity - Customer is concerned with VMs moving onto clusters they shouldn't be on after a prior cross cluster move. ie -- VM1 exists on Cluster 1(C1). C1 VMs should not move to C3, but are allowed to move to C2. VM1 is moved to C2. Because DNP policies are defined by the cluster/host origin and not at the VM level, this VM now has no policy dictating it cannot move to C3 and may get accidentally scheduled onto a C3 host. We need a way of keeping affinity attached to the workload rather than the cluster/host level. This can be done via tagging, but creating tags for a large environment is difficult. Automated internal tags should be added to VM entities in turbo such that when a DNP policy is created even at host/cluster level, the associated VMs permanently inherit that constraint as well until otherwise removed.
