1. A method for automatically creating affinity-type rules for resource management in a distributed computer system, the method comprising: selecting, by a resource management system of the distributed computer system, a host computer of the distributed computer system on which a client will be initially placed; upon selecting the host system on which the client will be initially placed, determining, by the resource management system, association inference information for the client, wherein the association inference information includes a geographic preference for the client; determining, by the resource management system, a resource association between the client and one or more other resources in the distributed computer system based on the association inference information, wherein the one or more other resources including one or more other clients or host systems in the distributed computer system, wherein the one or more other resources are tagged with geographical information, and wherein the resource association includes a geographical association between the client and a geographic location for the one or more other resources based on the geographic preference and the geographical information; and automatically creating, by the resource management system, an affinity-type rule for the client and the one or more other resources using the determined resource association, wherein the affinity-type rule specifies that the client and the one or more other resources should be connected to each other or disconnected from each other, and wherein the resource management system performs future resource management operations in the distributed computer system with respect to the client or the one or more other resources based on the affinity-type rule.
