This implements a delete method for pooltemplate and poolsize. The API
removes the override from Redis and then adds an entry in Redis that
causes the pool manager to wake up and process the removal of the
override.
To facilitate this, a new variable has been created in lib/vmpooler.rb
to hold a copy of the original / pre-override config. This supplemental
copy of the pools is then indexed for use as a reference.
When pool manager wakes up to process an override removal, it looks up
the pre-override value from the config via the new variables mentioned
above.
Just as with entering overrides, no restart is needed. Template and pool
size changes are logged so that anyone watching or reviewing the logs
can see what happened when. The new API endpoints also return values for
both the pre-revert and post-revert value.
Ensure that the correct stats are registered for the Manager and the api
respectively. E.g. all checkout counters are for the api only, whereas
clone times belong to the manager.
Also new ondemand functionality stats weren't registered, so add these
along with missing delete stats.
Review changes suggested to revise the Metrics related files into a more
logical class structure.
Also fixup grammar typos in docs strings and any trailing metrics that
have been recently added to vmpooler.
This is a re-architect of the vmpooler initialisation code to:
1. Allow an API service for both manager and the api
2. Add the Prometheus endpoints to the web service.
Needed to change the way the Rack Service is started as instantiating
using ".New" leads to a failure to initialise the http Stats
collection.
3. Selectively load the pooler api and/or Prometheus endpoints.
4. Rework API Spec tests for revised API loading. Needed to tidy up the
initialisation and perform a reset! after each test to avoid "leaks"
and dependencies between the tests.
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 allows the user to change the cluster in which the targeted pool
will clone to. Upon configuration change, the thread will wake up and
execute the change within 1 second.
This change updates handling of pool aliases to allow for more than a
single pool to be configured as an alias pool. Without this change if
multiple pools are configured as an alias the last one to configure it
is set as the alias for that pool.
Additionally, redis testing requirements are removed in favor of
mock_redis. Without this change a redis server is required to run
vmpooler tests.
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 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.
