This commit updates fetch_single_vm to return the name of the template that was requested, instead of the name of the pool providing the VM to meet the request. Without this change, when an alias is used for fetching a VM, a different pool title may be returned containing the requested VMs than the user initially requested.
This commit updates delta disk creation to reduce the likelihood of this being run more than once for any given template. Without this change an error can be generated with vsphere 6.5 or later when a template is updated, and then the update is reverted. The error prevents the image from being used because the template is never marked as prepared. To address this any failure is now logged, and the template is marked as prepared regardless of whether this was successful, or not, which allows the image to be used despite the error. This failure mode is more graceful and allows the pool to continue to function.
This commit refactorss the check_pool method in pool_manager.
Specifically, each commented section describing a stage of check_pool is
broken out into a separate method and check_pool is simplified by
calling these methods. Without this change it is difficult to follow the
intent for or make changes to check_pool.
Additionally, a docker-compose file is added to make it simple to launch
an all-in-one vmpooler instance along with a separate redis server with
docker.
This commit updates destroy_vm to remove the redis member from the completed queue only after a destroy has been completed. Without this change a VM that is being destroyed will be logged as discovered when inventory is checked since it has already been removed from the completed queue.
This commit updates destroy_vm to remove references to its mutex tracking object when destroyed. Without this change a VM that is destroyed will leave its mutex tracking object forever causing the pool manager memory footprint to increase.
This commit adds a changelog and contributing guidelines to vmpooler. Without this change vmpooler offers no specific contributing guidelines or changelog.
