OpenStack Compute (nova)

Resource tracker allows virt driver to update provider tree

Registered by Eric Fried

In the movement towards using placement for scheduling and resource management, the virt driver method get_available_resource was initially superseded by get_inventory, whereby the driver could specify its inventory in terms understood by placement. But get_inventory is limited to expressing only inventory (not traits or aggregates) and only for the resource provider corresponding to the compute node. Recent developments such as nested resource providers and traits necessitate the ability for the virt driver to have deeper control over what the resource tracker configures in placement on behalf of the compute node. This blueprint proposes a new virt driver method, update_provider_tree, and its method of consumption by the resource tracker, allowing full control over the placement representation of the compute node and its associated providers and metadata.
