+    # For more information and examples on the "affinity" stanza, please

+    #
+    #     https://www.nomadproject.io/docs/job-specification/affinity.html

+
+       # value specifies the desired attribute value. In this example Nomad
+       # will prefer placement in the "us-west1" datacenter.
+       # value  = "us-west1"
+
+       # weight can be used to indicate relative preference
+       # when the job has more than one affinity. It defaults to 50 if not set.

+    # The "spread" stanza allows operators to increase the failure tolerance of
