Create an affinity group

Affinity groups support only the CAS virtualization platform. For the cloud hosts in the same AZ, make sure the number of cloud hosts managed an anti-affinity group is not greater than the number of physical hosts in the AZ. If this condition is not met, an error might occur upon cloud host creation.
