This commit updates check_pool inventory check to prevent multiple instances from running at once. Without this change the inventory check may run in multiple threads simultaneously.
This commit moves net/ldap require from authenticate_ldap in api/helpers to vmpooler.rb. Without this change net/ldap and rubygems are required again every time authenticate_ldap is run.
This commit removes a additional authenticate method that is defined in the token_spec tests. Instead, authenticate is used from api/helpers. To support this change the config provided is updated to specify a dummy provider. Without this change authenticate cannot be tested along with token_spec because token_spec redefines authenticate.
This commit updates vmpooler to support setting an array of search bases
in addition to a single base provided as a string. Without this change
it is not possible to specify multiple search bases to use with the LDAP
authentication provider. Additionally, test coverage is added to
the authentication helper method.
This commit implements a vm_mutex hash to allow synchronizing VM operations that should only happen once across threads. Without this change pool_manager will try to evaluate or destroy a VM multiple times, which results in an error being thrown by one of the destroy attempts as only one can succeed and a duplication of resources unnecessarily when there are no errors.
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.
This commit updates ruby versions specified for use when testing in
travis.yml. Specifically, ruby 2.4.x and 2.5.x are added, while 2.2 is
updated to 2.2.10, and 2.3 is updated to 2.3.7. Additionally, jruby
testing is updated to use 9.1.17.0. Without this change we do not test
ruby 2.4.x or 2.5.x with vmpooler.
This commit changes the vsphere connection behavior to set insecure false. Without this change insecure is always set to true when making a connection regardless of the setting provided with the provider configuration.
I realized the launcher itself handles looking up the Ruby interpreter with /usr/bin/env ruby. Manually specifying an interpreter is going to try to circumvent that and isn't nearly as portable as an example service. By moving this sample script back to the generic launcher directly a user can choose to handle how /usr/bin/env looks up Ruby, whether it's with a jruby installation, rbenv, or however the user wishes.
This commit updates add_disk to remove propertyCollector, which was used
to back the find_vmdks method to locate the disk file on datastore and
then use its length to name the new disk. Instead, the number of disks
on the VM is used to ensure a unique disk resource title. Without this
change add_disk can take 10-50x longer due to the propertyCollector
method. Additionally, without this change propertyCollector is used in a
non threadsafe manner, which may cause stability issues for vsphere
provider backends.
This commit adds a dockerfile to install vmpooler without a local redis installation. Without this change the dockerfile provided assumes a local redis instance will be running. The dockerfile with redis is retained as 'Dockerfile-aio'. Additionally, the directory '/var/log/vmpooler' is no longer created since vmpooler uses '/var/log/vmpooler.log'.
This commit replaces find_vm and find_vm_heavy with a more performant and reliable mechanism of identifying VM objects. Specifically, FindByInventoryPath is able to leverage known data about a VM, its folder path and datacenter, and use that to identify whether that VM exists by its location. Without this change find_vm_heavy is called each time a VM cannot be found, which is frequent, and in doing so uses PropertyCollector in a manner that is not thread-safe. Additionally, this PropertyCollector usage does not clean up its traces, which can cause vCenter appliance instability issues on VCSA 6.x.
This commit updates the method used to load a configuration file to use
YAML.load_file, which is how it was configured previously. The
capability to specify an alternate configuration file via the
VMPOOLER_CONFIG_FILE is retained, and now works as expected.
This commit updates nokogiri and net-ldap to versions that have fixed known vulnerabilities. Without this change vmpooler requires versions of each gem that contain known vulnerabilities.
This commit add a redis hash where there is one key per pool, and the
stored value is the last time a VM was booted e.g. the last time
a VM went from 'pending' to 'ready'. This is also displayed in the
API as lastBoot:'2018-03-23 17:43:39 +0000'. The data can then be
used by any external system, in this case our alarming system.
variable
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 updates travis configuration to replace jruby 1.7.13 with 9.1.13.0. Without this change the jruby version tested is out of date and does not support features like safe_load, which affects issue #243.
This commit updates cpu_utilization_for and memory_utilization_for to detect when quickstats are not present. Without this change a nil result is transformed to 0, which is perceived as a host that has no utilization.
This commit removes an unnecessary rescue that results in duplicate clone error messages. Without this change clone failures due to unavailable host resources are logged twice. A log message is added to specify the host the VM is running on when migration_limit is not set and migration is disabled. Lastly, when a migration fails it reports the host the VM is running on in addition to the reason for the failed migration.
This change documents new vshpere specific parameters introduced related
to host selection and folder creation. Without this change these paremeters are not
documented.
This commit updates host selection to write check_time_finished whether
host retrieval was successful or not. Without this change when host
selection fails threads waiting for host selection to complete will
stuck waiting because check_time_finished doesn't update. Additionally,
because it would leave checking => true it would not attempt to inspect
and run host selection again.
Host selection for clones and migrations now make clear that no hosts
are available and fail logging a message. Without this change both
migrations and clones would fail with cryptic error messages logged
indicating clone and migrations failed.
Additionally, this change makes max_age configurable so a user can
specify that host selection should happen more or less frequently, as
required for migrations or clone operations when host selection is
enabled.
This commit updates the providers to move provider_hosts under the vsphere provider, which is the only place it's applicable. Methods where redis is passed through are updated to remove this pass through and use the globally available redis object, where applicable. Remove_vmpooler_migration_vm method is not needed and is removed.
This commit moves the migrate_vm logic to the vsphere provider. Without
this change migrate_vm has lots of vsphere specific logic in
pool_manager migrate_vm method.
This commit updates cluster host resource inspection to stop weighting memory as a part of the results. Additionally, instead of returning a single least used host a percentage of the eligible hosts with below average utilization are selected. Without this change host migration logic can cause cluster resource imbalances due to a single host being targeted for many migrations before the impacts of the migrations cause numbers to adjust.
This commit updates create_vm to target a cluster instead of an individual host for clone operations. Without this change cluster host utilization needs to be inspected for everyone clone operation.
This commit adds the capability to create folders within an existing target folder. Without this change folders to support platforms targets need to be created manually.
This commit adds a global provider_hosts concept in order to allow checking cluster utilization once per interval for a given cluster and retain the results, reusing them for an interval, and tracking the least used set of hosts. Without this change each migration and clone operation inspect host utilization and state for each host in the cluster, which is computationally expensive for vsphere.
* (POOLER-96) Setting the Rubygems version
travis uses the latest bundler 1.16 which installs the newer rubygems and I think that might be why it's failing now when downgrading only bundler to version 1.12
This is a test to see if travis will pass.
* also update bundler to 1.15.4
* Update .travis.yml
* update jruby to 1.7.13
* print bundle version
* specify bundler version 1.15.4
