Interface DesignPlugin

All Known Implementing Classes:
ResiliencePlugin, SustainabilityPlugin
public interface DesignPlugin
A bundle of extra objectives and constraints contributed by a library on the classpath. Register an implementation in META-INF/services/com.eqixiac.equinix.design.spi.DesignPlugin and the engines pick it up through discover(). A contributed objective takes part in ranking only when the spec gives its id a positive weight; a contributed constraint always applies.
