Moves VM autobackups from being in-CLI to being handled by the
pvcworkerd system on the primary coordinator. Turns the CLI autobackup
command into an actual API client endpoint rather than having its logic
in the CLI.
In addition, modifies the new autobackup to leverage the new "pvc vm
snapshot" function set, just with special snapshot names. This helps
automate this within the new snapshot scaffolding.
A rename is simply a change to two values, so instead of undefining and
re-defining the VM, just edit those two fields. This ensures things like
snapshots are preserved automatically.
We supported creating snapshots, but not doing anything with them. This
removes the manual task of restoring a snapshot and replace it with a
PVC abstraction of rolling back to a snapshot.
While Ceph recommends cloning a snapshot instead of rolling back, due to
the time taken, in our usecase I don't think that is an optimal
strategy, as it will leave dangling clones that we'd then have to
manage.
Closes#183
Adds a check that a volume creation or resize won't violate the 80% full
rule for the storage cluster. This ensures a cluster won't get too full
if a storage volume fills up.
Also adds a force flag throughout the pipeline to override this check,
should an administrator really want to do so.
Closes#177
Adds a new flag to VM metadata to allow setting the VM live migration
max downtime. This will enable very busy VMs that hang live migration to
have this value changed.
Major improvements to autobackup and backups, including additional
information/fields in the backup JSON itself, improved error handling,
and the ability to email reports of autobackups using a local sendmail
utility.
Adds additional information about failures, runtime, file sizes, etc. to
the JSON output of a VM backup.
This helps enable additional reporting and summary information for
autobackup runs.
Since these are unauthenticated, it might be the case that an
administrator wishes to completely disable these metrics endpoints.
Provide that option via pvc.conf through pvc-ansible's existing
enable_prometheus_exporters option and the new enable_prometheus
configuration flag.
Defaults to "yes" to provide all functionality unless explicitly
disabled, as the author assumes that the PVC API is secured in other
ways as well and that metric information is not completely sensitive.
