Agent VMs of different sizes in Azure Container Service

Is there any way to have VMs of different sizes in the private agents pool of an Azure Container Service (ACS)? I would like to support use cases where some services require compute intensive servers and others (e.g databases) memory intensive servers.

An acceptable solution could be to add multiple virtual machines scale sets (vmss) as private agents pools and each one of them have VMs of different sizes since a vmss supports one size of VM. Is such a feature supported in ACS?

A workaround could be to have different sizes of VMs in the public and private agent pools. However, this is not a best practice since public agents pool should be used to host services that are exposed publicly (e.g marathon-lb). Also, it limits the options to just two pools.

This feature is coming and if you need them today you can use ACS Engine (the open source code behind ACS). See examples at https://github.com/Azure/acs-engine/tree/master/examples/largeclusters
