<p>
The type of placement strategy. The random placement strategy randomly places tasks on available candidates. The
spread placement strategy spreads placement across available candidates evenly based on the field parameter. The
binpack strategy places tasks on available candidates that have the least available amount of the resource that
is specified with the field parameter. For example, if you binpack on memory, a task is placed on the instance
with the least amount of remaining memory (but still enough to run the task).
