OpenStack Compute (nova)

Current documentation for “OpenStack Compute (nova)”

To classify a blueprint as documentation, set the Implementation status to “Informational” When the blueprint's Definition status is marked “Approved”, it will appear in this listing.

Essex introduced nova-rootwrap command filtering. This spec collects all the improvements we intend to push in Folsom. 1. Move filter definition to configuration files This will allow to plug new commands needed by plug-ins, and support other configuration options (like specifying a log file) 2. Support for execut...
Reference Architectures for OpenStack Compute (nova)
OpenStack has many choices for Hypervisor, Network Model, User Model, API, Storage System, OS, Packaging, etc. To keep up with Openstack's expansion, we need to document and automatically test configurations which OpenStack supports. We need to document existing configurations (for instance a rackspace-style sys...
XenServer Guest Requirements for OpenStack Compute (nova)
There are a number of requirements needed to support XenServer guests for Cloud Servers, etc. Most of these are being broken out into other blueprints. • Add & Remove routes. (xs-guest-routes) • Add/Remove IPs to networking config, networking protections, etc with option to actually configure the guest [config vs ...
Hyper-V Spawn on Neutron Event for OpenStack Compute (nova)
Under large scale deployments, Hyper-V Neutron port binding can take a longer time. Starting the instance before the port was setup, can cause the instance's DHCP requests to timeout and thus, become unreachable. This problem can be solved by waiting for the Neutron port bound event before starting the VM. The conf...
API definition process for OpenStack Compute (nova)
We need to discuss and possibly revise the way we define the OpenStack API. It's currently being defined by people other than the ones implementing it, and it's being defined as a massive, single feature. It seems like a much more natural approach to have an "Changes to the API" section for each proposed feature spe...
Diffie-Hellman-Merkle Key Exchange Support for OpenStack Compute (nova)
Several of the communication processes between nova and guest agents require DH key exchange for security. We need to implement a basic DH module for this.
Adding support for GPU accelerators, SGI Ultra Violet (UV) shared memory machines and Tilera TileEmpower 64-core tiled processor systems as alternative machine types in OpenStack.
Support for heterogeneous architectures for OpenStack Compute (nova)
Nova should have support for cpu architectures, accelerator architectures, and network interfaces and be able to route run_instances() requests to a compute node capable of running that architecture. In addition, nova should prevent a user from inadvertently specifying, for example, an x86_64 machine image to run on...
Boot whole disk images for OpenStack Compute (nova)
Boot whole disk images without separate kernel/root disk
Snapshot, Clone and Boot from volumes for OpenStack Compute (nova)
This session will look into three different subjects: - Snapshot volumes - Clone volumes - Boot from volumes
The deficient of the current way of injecting network configuration to VM are: 1. the configuration file is always injected to the first partition. It will be injected wrongly if one use native ubuntu livecd installation, the file will go to /boot 2. it is unable to recognize the layout of the partitions, such as Li...
Rick Clark asked that I create a blueprint for getting cloud-init into the rackspace images.
The VM image is checked by fdisk before mounting, if the windows partition is found a batch file for changing network settings by the command netsh.exe is injected to the VM. Before doing the above action the a windows VM must be installed in the way as suggested in the openstack's wiki webpage and a template of bat...
Open Stack Northbound REST API for OpenStack Compute (nova)
A RESTful JSON/HTTP interface & programming model for management & control plane of cloud systems built using OpenStack components. Will have RFC for appropriate Media/MIME types. To be used by cloud service consumers & operators to build higher level systems well as by the OpenStack CLI interface. Orthogonal Extens...
