OpenStack Compute (nova)

nova db purge util

Registered by Abel Lopez

This blueprint has been superseded. See the newer blueprint "Simple DB Purging" for updated plans.

Adding functionality to `nova-manage db` to safely purge "deleted" data. This will have non-optional argument of nDays.
For example `nova-manage db purge 60` will go into the nova db, and delete from each table where 'deleted =! 0 and deleted_at > date_sub(NOW(), interval 60 day);'

This is a useful feature as Openstack matures and operators/admins are upgrading over time.
