Avoid trying to subcall other Celery worker tasks, as this just gets
very screwy with the stages. Instead reimplement what is needed directly
here. While this does cause a fair bit of code duplication, I believe
the resulting clarity is worthwhile.
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.
