This reverts commit d63e757c32.
This did not work; by readding 'form' checking, the attempt to isolate
the large file upload was again thwarted. Another solution, perhaps
specific to the uploads, is needed instead.
Allow a VM to specify its migration type as a default choice. The valid
options are "default" (i.e. behave as now), "live" which forces a live
migration only, and "shutdown" which forces a shutdown migration only.
The new option is treated as a VM meta option and is set to default if
not found.
Gevent was completely failure. The API would block during large file
uploads with no obvious solutions beyond "use gunicorn", which is not
suited to this. I originally had this working with the Flask "debug"
server, so just move to using that all the time. SSL is added using a
custom context with the OpenSSL library, so include that as a
dependency.
By default, Werkzeug would require the entire file (be it an OVA or
image file) to be uploaded and saved to a temporary, fake file under
`/tmp`, before any further processing could occur. This blocked most of
the execution of these functions until the upload was completed.
This entirely defeated the purpose of what I was trying to do, which was
to save the uploads directly to the temporary blockdev in each case,
thus avoiding any sort of memory or (host) disk usage.
The solution is two-fold:
1. First, ensure that the `location='args'` value is set in
RequestParser; without this, the `files` portion would be parsed
during the argument parsing, which was the original source of this
blocking behaviour.
2. Instead of the convoluted request handling that was being done
originally here, instead entirely defer the parsing of the `files`
arguments until the point in the code where they are ready to be
saved. Then, using an override stream_factory that simply opens the
temporary blockdev, the upload can commence while being written
directly out to it, rather than using `/tmp` space.
This does alter the error handling slightly; it is impossible to check
if the argument was passed until this point in the code, so it may take
longer to fail if the API consumer does not specify a file as they
should. This is a minor trade-off and I would expect my API consumers to
be sane here.
Adds a separate field to the node memory, "provisioned", which totals
the amount of memory provisioned to all VMs on the node, regardless of
state, and in contrast to "allocated" which only counts running VMs.
Allows for the detection of potential overprovisioned states when
factoring in non-running VMs.
Includes the supporting code to get this data, since the original
implementation of VM memory selection was dependent on the VM being
running and getting this from libvirt. Now, if the VM is not active, it
gets this from the domain XML instead.
Makes this output a little more realistic and allows proper monitoring
of the Ceph cluster status (separate from the PVC status which is
tracking only OSD up/in state).
Make the provisioner a bit more robust. This way, even if a provisioning
step fails, cleanup is still performed this preventing the system from
being left in an undefined state requiring manual correction.
Addresses #91
Allow the specifying of arbitrary provisioner script install() args on
the provisioner create CLI, either overriding or adding additional
per-VM arguments to those found in the profile. Reference example is
setting a "vm_fqdn" on a per-run basis.
Closes#100
Provides a CLI and API argument to force live migration, which triggers
a new VM state "migrate-live". The node daemon VMInstance during migrate
will read this flag from the state and, if enforced, will not trigger a
shutdown migration.
Closes#95
Doing so can create an image that is 1 sector (512 bytes) too large,
which will then break qemu-img because it's stupid (or, VMDK is stupid,
I haven't decided which is).. Current Ceph rbd commands seem to accept
--size in bytes so this is fine.
Ensure all API return messages are formated the same: no "error", a
final period except when displaying Exception text, and a regular spaced
out format.
Finishes a basic form of OVA provisioning within the existing create_vm
function. Future plans should include separating out the functions and
cleaning them up a bit more, but this is sufficient for basic operation.
Closes#71
