This change adds a capability to vmpooler to provision instances on
demand. Without this change vmpooler only supports retrieving machines
from pre-provisioned pools.
Additionally, this change refactors redis interactions to reduce round
trips to redis. Specifically, multi and pipelined redis commands are
added where possible to reduce the number of times we are calling redis.
To support the redis refactor the redis interaction has changed to
leveraging a connection pool. In addition to offering multiple
connections for pool manager to use, the redis interactions in pool
manager are now thread safe.
Ready TTL is now a global parameter that can be set as a default for all
pools. A default of 0 has been removed, because this is an unreasonable
default behavior, which would leave a provisioned instance in the pool
indefinitely.
Pool empty messages have been removed when the pool size is set to 0.
Without this change, when a pool was set to a size of 0 the API and pool
manager would both show that a pool is empty.
This commit adds the extra_config option to vmpooler to allow specifying additional configuration files to load from. Without this change vmpooler does not offer a mechanism to provide additional configuration files for the application.
This commit adds a capability to vmpooler to reset a pool, deleting its ready and pending instances and replacing them with fresh ones. Without this change vmpooler does not offer a mechanism to reset a pool without also changing its template.
This change adds the running host for a VM to the API data available via /vm/hostname. Without this change the running host would be logged to vmpooler log, but not available any other way. Additionally, the data will specify if a machine has been migrated. Without this change parent host data for a vmpooler machine is not available via the vmpooler API.
This commit adds a new configuration parameter to allow setting whether to create linked clones on a global, or per pool basis. Without this change vmpooler would always attempt to create linked clones. The default behavior of creating linked clones is preserved.
This commit updates vmpooler to set configuration values received via environment variables to integer values when an integer value is expected. Without this change vmpooler does not support setting integer values via environment variables. Additionally, testing is added for configuring vmpooler via environment variables.
To support this testing the gem climate_control is added, which allows
for testing environment variables without those set variables leaking to
other tests.
This commit updates vmpooler to ship VM usage stats when a VM is destroyed. The stats are gathered for jobs based on user and pool name. If a jenkins build URL is present then this is broken down by user, instance, value stream, branch and project. Additionally, if present then the RMM_COMPONENT_TO_TEST_NAME will be listed after project. Without this change we do not collect stats on per VM usage and its correlation to users and pools.
This commit fixes checking of a VM that has already been identified as ready. Without this change a ready VM that has failed will be identified as having failed, but will not successfully be removed from the ready queue. Additionally, the default vm_checktime value has been reduced from 15 to 1 to ensure that ready VMs are checked within one minute of the time they have reached the ready state by default.
Lastly, the docker-compose files are updated to specify that the redis
instance used is a local redis instance.
This commit adds documentation for specifying vmpooler configuration via environment variables. LDAP server is corrected to LDAP host, and the capability to specify graphite prefix and port is added. Vagrant documentation is moved into its own file to reduce noise in the main readme. Lastly, docker usage is updated to reflect that you no longer bake in a configuration file, and that API and manager can be run separately from docker via its entrypoint.
Prior to this commit the docs and examples used 'company.com'
(a real domain). This commit changes those occurrences to
'example.com', which is a IANA-managed reserved domain.
This commit adds a configuration endpoint to the vmpooler API. Pool
size, and pool template, can be adjusted for pools that are configured
at vmpooler application start time. Pool template changes trigger a pool
refresh, and the new template has delta disks created automatically by
vmpooler.
Additionally, the capability to create template delta disks is added to
the vsphere provider, and this is implemented to ensure that templates
have delta disks created at application start time.
The mechanism used to find template VM objects is simplified to make the flow of logic easier to understand. As an additional benefit, performance of this lookup is improved by using FindByInventoryPath.
A table of contents is added to API.md to ease navigation. Without this change API.md has no table of contents and is difficult to navigate.
Add mutex object for managing pool configuration updates
This commit adds a mutex object for ensuring that pool configuration changes are synchronized across multiple running threads, removing the possibility of two threads attempting to update something at once, without relying on redis data. Without this change this is managed crudely by specifying in redis that a configuration update is taking place. This redis data is left so the REPOPULATE section of _check_pool can still identify when a configuration change is in progress, and prevent a pool from repopulating at that time.
Add wake up event for pool template changes
This commit adds a wake up event to detect pool template changes.
Additionally, GET /config has a template_ready section added to the
output for each pool, which makes clear when a pool is ready to populate
itself.

Previously, there were two ways to configure Vmpooler, either by
changing the contents of vmpooler.yaml or by assigning the raw YAML
to the VMPOOLER_CONFIG environment variable. This commit adds a new
environment variable called VMPOOLER_CONFIG_FILE that can be assigned
the name of a config file to use. Also fixes#240 by whitelisting the
Symbol class when calling YAML.safe_load in Vmpooler.config.
This commit adds documentation for how to setup a development environment for
VM Pooler. This commit also moves the API under the new docs directory and
modifies the README appropriately.
