DCD: ignore hosts based on resource type(label)

Right now, I have to write a negative look ahead to create only the piggyback hosts which are relevant:
^(?!.(rg|resource group|resourcegroup)).
But this only partially solves the issue. It helps reduce unwanted hosts like resource groups, but it’s not sufficient when there’s no consistent naming convention across resources. This leads to unpredictable behavior and some chaos in host creation.
Ideally, it would be great if host filtering could rely on the actual resource type, rather than just the hostname received by the Azure API. This would be of great help in cloud native environments where the labels are used quite extensively.
