I want to setup my datacenter with app servers, tests servers, database servers. It is like having all my hosts in one environment but the containers running the database in specific set of hosts for example labeled “database servers” How can I do that ?

Assuming “balled” is autocorrect for “labeled”, you can click the Edit action on a host and set labels, then use those in scheduling rules to restrict services/containers to hosts with that label.
