The following pool configuration would allow a pool to be aliased in POST
requests as 'centos-6-x86_64', 'centos-6-amd64', or 'centos-6-64':
````yaml
- name: 'centos-6-x86_64'
alias: [ 'centos-6-amd64', 'centos-6-64' ]
template: 'templates/centos-6-x86_64'
folder: 'vmpooler/centos-6-x86_64'
datastore: 'instance1'
size: 5
````
The 'alias' configuration can be either a string or an array.
Note that even when requesting an alias, the pool's 'name' is returned in
the JSON response:
````
$ curl -d '{"centos-6-64":"1"}' --url vmpooler/api/v1/vm
````
````json
{
"ok": true,
"centos-6-x86_64": {
"hostname": "cuna2qeahwlzji7"
},
"domain": "company.com"
}
````
Prior to this commit, a running VM could fail a ping check and be
destroyed. This causes issues when network hiccups occur or the machine
is performing a reboot.
A VM that is in a ready state will now be destroyed when handed back or
it hits the lifetime TTL.
An SSH check was added before moving a VM from pending to ready.
However, the result of that check did not matter and move_pending would
still be called. This moves the move_pending call to within the begin
block that holds the SSH check. If the check fails, then only
fail_pending will be called.
SSH should be available before a VM is moved from the 'pending' queue to
'ready'.
`check_ssh` should probably be a function in the tradition of DRY; I'm
going to hopefully follow up this PR with a `Vmpooler::Utility` library.
As we approach an "official" v1.0.0 of the API I'd like to remove some old
nested "ok" responses. These were left in as the Beaker vmpooler
hypervisor used them, but I long-ago patched that code and I think it's
time to deprecate these.
* rename the Redis token 'timestamp' var to 'created'
* update the Redis token 'last' var when token is successfully validataed
* expose the Redis token 'last' var in GET /token route
The return values from most redis calls inform the caller of whether a
key or hash value exists. Several exists() calls can be removed in
favor of this approach.
Updated spec tests to account for a removal of exists() and ismember()
calls in API tests.
