OpenStack Liberty版本更新说明

Contents

OpenStack对象存储(Swift)

完整的版本更新说明请参阅 https://github.com/openstack/swift/blob/master/CHANGELOG

新功能

  • 通过设置一个大于0的整数值,允许部署大于一个每个磁盘一个object服务(object-servers-per-disk),通过在[DEFAULT]中的"servers_per_port"配置,设置object-server或者复制服务的配置。这个整数配置决定了有多少个不同的object-server的workers,响应一个唯一的本地ring里的port。在这种模式下,父级的swift-object-server进程继续使用原有用户执行(例如,如果需要low-port绑定是必须的,使用root用户)。它会绑定所有在ring定义的ports。之后,为每一个监听socket分离出一个指定数量的workers。子级别的,每个port服务,放弃权限并且表现出object-server的workers固有状态,但是一个唯一的例外:ring在每个磁盘拥有唯一ports,object-servers仅仅为一个磁盘响应请求。父进程检测到死掉的服务并且重启他们(拥有正确监听socket)。当发现一个更新的ring文件后,它启动丢失的服务,并且在服务中加载一个新的port,并且当他们的接口在ring里找不到的时候,杀掉不相关的服务。ring文件启动是在每个object-server配置中由"ring_check_interval"参数进行配置(默认15秒)。在测试中,部署的配置是更低的请求延时(配置为3秒),优化了每秒的请求,与存在的"workers"配置相比较,隔离速度慢的磁盘IO请求。如果使用这个配置,每个设备必须要加入到ring中,并且使用一个不同的port。
  • 对象服务包含了一个"container_update_timeout"设置(默认配置为1秒)。这个值的含义就是对象服务等待容器服务在返回对象PUT操作之前更新列表的时间。之前,对象服务会等待容器服务3秒响应。当集群内的容器非常繁忙的时候(例如,当容器非常大的时候),新的行为明显降低了对象PUT延时。将这个值设置过低会引起客户端在PUT一个对象过程中无法及时在列表中找到对象。但是设置太高了,在容器服务繁忙的时候,会增加客户端延时。
  • 可以为静态超大对象(Static Large Object, SLO)分段指定范围。
  • 运行SLO PUT操作放弃预分段完整性的检查。之前的方式是,在manifest中的每个分段引用也需要一个正确的etag和字节设定。这些字段不允许在制定的分段中,设置null值来跳过这些特定的检查。
  • Replicator配置现在支持"rsync_module"来允许每个设置加载rsync模块。这些值允许运维人员能够更好的在swift集群中设置并调优复制的流量,并且分离复制磁盘的IO到指定的设备。详情请见文档和配置样例。
  • Ring的更新
    • Paritition的放置不在使用port数。这个更新主要优化在一个小集群内的扩散,例如运行一个设备上运行一个object,并且保证扩散不影响一个object服务一个服务器的集群。
    • 增加ring-builder-analyzer工具来简化测试和分析ring管理运维
    • Ring校验中,如果一个位置分区得到得到一个设备多次,就会出现警告。这种情况发生在一个ring是不平衡的情况下(例如:两个服务器,一个服务器的容量要明显比另外一个多)。
  • TempURL修复了(CVE-2015-5223关闭)

    不要允许PUT tempurls创建指向其他数据的指针。具体来说,不允许通过PUT tempurl创建DLO对象manifests。这样保护了易暴露的攻击,这种攻击能够利用任何的PUT tempurl探测到被DLO对象manifest创建的私有数据,并且使用PUT tempurl指向对象

  • Swift现在在每一个策略基础上发出StatsD测量。
  • 修复了一个Keystone整合的问题,这个问题会导致到服务账户的复制的请求成功,即使这个服务token没有包含在这个请求中。
  • 批量上传现在在文件上处理用户xattrs,在处理创建对象时,使用给定的存档作为对象metadata。
  • 在对象复制中提交警告日志,如果"handoffs_first"和"handoff_delete"设置了
  • 允许在Swift-recon开启对象复制失败的次数
  • 在扩散工具中添加支持存储策略
  • 在swift-dispersion支持keystone v3域
  • 在/info端点中添加domain_remap信息
  • 在domain_remap中间件配置中支持"default_reseller_prefix"
  • 通过设置"rsync_compress"配置,允许rsync使用压缩。如果设置为true,压缩仅仅在不同区域rsync时生效。在一些情况下,这能加速跨域复制时的数据传输。
  • 在swift-recon中添加时间同步检查(--time参数)
  • 在一个大型的accounts上account收割机运行速度加快。
  • 各种各样的其他小bug修复和优化。

升级提示

  • 依赖变化
    • 添加six依赖。这个部分作为支持Python 3的一部分。
    • 放弃了对Python 2.6的支持。
  • 配置变化
    • 最近Python版本将请求头的数量限制为100。对于定制化的中间层来说有些低。swift.conf新的"extra_header_count"配置值能够用来增加头的数量。
    • 将"run_pause"设置为"interval"(当前配置使用run_pause仍然工作)。未来的版本将去掉run_pause。
  • 已经版本化的写功能已经重构,并且在中间层重新实现。你需要明确的在versioned_writes中间层添加你的代理pipeline,但是不要去掉或者禁用已经存在的容器服务配置("allow_versions")。这个已经存在的容器服务配置开启保证已经存在的容器继续被版本化。更多详细升级信息请参阅:http://swift.openstack.org/middleware.html#how-to-enable-object-versioning-in-a-swift-cluster

OpenStack网络服务(Neutron)

  • Neutron现在支持IPv6前缀代表,用于自动分配IPv6的子网的CIDRs。更多信息和使用说明请详见OpenStack Networking Guide
  • Neutron现在暴露了一个Qos API,在port级别提供端口带宽限制。API,CLI、配置和其他信息请参阅:[1]
  • 路由的高可靠(L3 HA/VRRP)现在在二层population(l2pop)被打开时工作 [2]
  • VPNaas相关驱动现在和HA路由器兼容。
  • 为HA路由,使用VRRP的网络现在需要配置使用特定的分区类型或者物理网络标记[3]
  • OVS代理的重启不影响数据层面连接。
  • Neutron网络现在支持基于角色的访问控制[4]
  • LBaaS V2相关驱动现在基于Octavia,一个运维级别可扩展、可靠的负载均衡平台。
  • LBaaS V2 API is no longer experimental. It is now stable.
  • LBaas V2 API现在不再为测试。已经稳定了。
  • Neutron现在提供给管理员手动方式的调度代理,允许主机再远能够在为租户使用前进行测试[5]
  • Neutron现在有一套可插拔的IP地址管理框架,允许使用可选择的或者第三方IPAM。原来的,不可插拔版本的IPAM仍然被默认使用。

废弃和被删除的插件和驱动

  • metaplugin在Liberty版本被删除
  • IBM SDN-VE整体插件在Liberty版本被删除
  • 思科N1kV整体插件在Liberty版本被删除(被ML2策略驱动取代)
  • Embrane插件被废弃,将在Mitaka版本中被删除。

Deprecated Features

  • The FWaaS API is marked as experimental for Liberty. Further, the current API will be removed in Mitaka and replaced with a new FWaaS API, which the team is in the process of developing.
  • The LBaaS V1 API is marked as deprecated and is planned to be removed in a future release. Going forward, the LBaaS V2 API should be used.
  • The 'external_network_bridge' option for the L3 agent has been deprecated in favor of a bridge_mapping with a physnet. For more information, see the "Network Node" section of this scenario in the networking guide: http://docs.openstack.org/networking-guide/scenario_legacy_ovs.html

Performance Considerations

  • The stock Trusty Tahr kernel (3.13) shows linear performance degradation when running "ip netns exec" as the number of namespaces increases. In cases where scale is important, a later version kernel (e.g. 3.19) should be used. [WHICH VERSION OF 3.13 EXHIBITED THIS. MOST VERSIONS WILL HAVE THIS FIX ALREADY.]


Note: This regression should be fixed in Trusty Thar since 3.13.0-36.63 and later kernel versions. For further references see: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1328088
  • Creating Neutron-LBaaS load balancers in environments without hardware virtualization may be slow when using the Octavia driver. This is due to QEMU using the TCG accelerator instead of the KVM accelerator in environments without hardware virtualization available. We recommend enabling hardware virtualization on your compute nodes, or enabling nested virtualization when using the Octavia driver inside a virtual environment. See the following link for details on setting up nested virtualization for DevStack running inside KVM: http://docs.openstack.org/developer/devstack/guides/devstack-with-nested-kvm.html.

OpenStack 计算服务(Nova)

新功能

API

Scheduler

Architectural evolution on the scheduler has continued, along with key bug fixes:

Cells v2

Cells v2 is not currently in a usable state, but we have added some more supporting infrastructure:

Compute Driver Features

Libvirt
VMware
Hyper-V
Ironic

Other Features

Upgrade Notes

  • If you are coming from Kilo stable, please make sure you have fully upgraded to the latest release of that lineage before deploying Liberty. Due to bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1474074 versions of Kilo from before the fix will be problematic when talking to Liberty nodes.
  • Allocation ratios for RAM and CPU are now defined within the nova-compute service (so per compute node). Ratios also need to be provided for the scheduler service. Depending on whether a compute node is running Kilo or Liberty, the allocation ratios will behave differently : if the compute node is running Kilo then the CPU and RAM allocation ratios for that compute node will be the ones defaulted in the controller's nova.conf file.Or, if the compute node is Liberty then you'll be able to set a per-compute allocation ratio for both CPU and RAM. In order to leave the operator providing the allocation ratios to all the compute nodes, the default allocation ratio will be set in nova.conf to 0.0 (even for the controller). That doesn't mean that allocation ratios will actually be 0.0, just that the operator needs to provide those before the next release (ie. Mitaka). To be clear, the default allocation ratios are still 16.0 for cpu_allocation_ratio and 1.5 for ram_allocation_ratio.
  • nova-compute should be upgraded to Liberty code before upgrading Neutron services per the new "network-vif-deleted" event: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/187871/
  • Rootwrap filters must be updated after release to add the 'touch' command.
    • There is a race condition between imagebackend and imagecache mentioned in the Launchpad Bug 1256838.
    • In this case if base image is deleted by ImageCacheManager while imagebackend is copying the image to instance path, then the instance goes in to error state.
    • In order to resolve this issue, there is a need to add 'touch' command in compute.filters along with the change https://review.openstack.org/#/c/217579/.
    • In case of a race condition, when libvirt has changed the base file ownership to libvirt-qemu while imagebackend is copying the image, then we get permission denied error on updating the file access time using os.utime. To resolve this error we need to update the base file access time with root user privileges using 'touch' command.
  • The DiskFilter is now part of the scheduler_default_filters in Liberty per https://review.openstack.org/#/c/207942/ .
  • Per https://review.openstack.org/#/c/103916/ you can now only map one vCenter cluster to a single nova-compute node.
  • The Libvirt driver parallels has been renamed to virtuozzo
  • Orphaned tables - iscsi_targets, volumes - have been removed.
  • The default paste.ini has been updated to use the new v2.1 API for all endpoints, and the v3 endpoint has been removed. A compatibility mode middlewear is used to relax the v2.1 validation for the /v2 and /v1.1 endpoints.
  • The code for DB schema downgrades has now been removed: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/nova-no-downward-sql-migration
  • The default DB driver we test against is now pymysql rather than Python-MySQL
  • The "powervm" hv_type shim has been removed. This only affects users of the PowerVC driver on stackforge which are using older images with hv_type=powervm in the image metadata.
  • The minimum required version of libvirt in the Mitaka release will be 0.10.2. Support for libvirt < 0.10.2 is deprecated in Liberty: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/183220/
  • The libvirt.remove_unused_kernels config option is deprecated for removal and now defaults to True: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/182315/

Deprecated Features

  • The ability to disable in tree API extensions has been deprecated (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/nova-api-deprecate-extensions)
  • The novaclient.v1_1 module has been deprecated [[6]][[7]] since 2.21.0 and we are going to remove it in the first python-novaclient release in Mitaka.
  • Method `novaclient.client.get_client_class` is deprecated [[8]] since 2.29.0. The method will be removed in Mitaka.
  • The mute_weight_value option on weighers has been deprecated, including for use with Cells.
  • The remove_unused_kernels configuration option for the Libvirt driver is now deprecated.
  • The minimum recommended version of vCenter for use with the vcenter driver is now 5.1.0. In Liberty this is logged as a warning, in Mitaka support for versions lower than 5.1.0 will be removed.
  • API v3 specific components have all been deprecated and removed from the default paste.ini

OpenStack Telemetry (Ceilometer)

Key New Features

  • Creation of Aodh to handle alarming service.
  • Metadata caching - reduced load of nova API polling.
  • Declarative meters
    • Ability to generate meters by defining meter definition template.
    • Ability to define specific SNMP meters to poll.
  • Support for data publishing from Ceilometer to Gnocchi.
  • Mandatory limit - limit restricted querying is enforced. The limit must be explicitly provided on queries, otherwise the result set is restricted to a default limit.
  • Distributed, coordinated notification agents - support for workload partitioning across multiple notification agents.
  • Events RBAC support.
  • PowerVM hypervisor support.
  • Improved MongoDB query support - performance improvement to statistic calculations.
  • Additional meter support:
    • Magnum meters
    • DBaaS meters
    • DNSaaS meters

Gnocchi Features

  • Initial influxdb driver implemented.

Aodh Features

  • Event alarms - ability to trigger an action when an event is received.
  • Trust support in alarms link.

Upgrade Notes

  • The name of some middleware used by ceilometer changed in a backward incompatible way. Before upgrading, edit the paste.ini file for ceilometer to change oslo.middleware to oslo_middleware. For example, using sed -ri 's/oslo\.middleware/oslo_middleware/' api_paste.ini
  • The notification agent is a core service to collecting data in Ceilometer. It now handles all transformations and publishing. Polling agents now defer all processing to notification agents, and must be deployed in tandem.
  • A mandatory limit is applied to each request. If no limit is given, it will be restricted to a default limit.

Deprecated Features

  • Ceilometer Alarms is deprecated in favour or Aodh.
  • RPC publisher and collector is deprecated in favour of a topic based notifier publisher.
  • Non-metric meters are still deprecated, and are to be removed in a future release.

OpenStack Identity (Keystone)

Key New Features

  • Experimental: Domain specific configuration options can be stored in SQL instead of configuration files, using the new REST APIs.
  • Experimental: Keystone now supports tokenless authorization with X.509 SSL client certificate.
  • Configuring per-Identity Provider WebSSO is now supported.
  • openstack_user_domain and openstack_project_domain attributes were added to SAML assertion in order to map user and project domains, respectively.
  • The credentials list call can now have its results filtered by credential type.
  • Support was improved for out-of-tree drivers by defining stable Driver Interfaces.
  • Several features were hardened, including Fernet tokens, Federation, domain specific configurations from database and role assignments.
  • Certain variables in keystone.conf now have options, which determine if the user's setting is valid.

Upgrade Notes

  • The EC2 token middleware, deprecated in Juno, is no longer available in keystone. It has been moved to the keystonemiddleware package.
  • The compute_port configuration option, deprecated in Juno, is no longer available.
  • The XML middleware stub has been removed, so references to it must be removed from the keystone-paste.ini configuration file.
  • stats_monitoring and stats_reporting paste filters have been removed, so references to it must be removed from the keystone-paste.ini configuration file.
  • The external authentication plugins ExternalDefault, ExternalDomain, LegacyDefaultDomain, and LegacyDomain, deprecated in Icehouse, are no longer available.
  • keystone.conf now references entrypoint names for drivers. For example, the drivers are now specified as "sql", "ldap", "uuid", rather than the full module path. See the sample configuration file for other examples.
  • We now expose entrypoints for the keystone-manage command instead of a file.
  • Schema downgrades via keystone-manage db_sync are no longer supported. Only upgrades are supported.
  • Features that were "extensions" in previous releases (OAuth delegation, Federated Identity support, Endpoint Policy, etc) are now enabled by default.
  • A new secure_proxy_ssl_header configuration option is available when running keystone behind a proxy.
  • Several configuration options have been deprecated, renamed, or moved to new sections in the keystone.conf file.
  • Domain name information can now be used in policy rules with the attribute domain_name.

Deprecated Features

  • Running Keystone in Eventlet remains deprecated and will be removed in the Mitaka release.
  • Using LDAP as the resource backend, i.e for projects and domains, is now deprecated and will be removed in the Mitaka release.
  • Using the full path to the driver class is deprecated in favor of using the entrypoint. In the Mitaka release, the entrypoint must be used.
  • In the [resource] and [role] sections of the keystone.conf file, not specifying the driver and using the assignment driver is deprecated. In the Mitaka release, the resource and role drivers will default to the SQL driver.
  • In keystone-paste.ini, using paste.filter_factory is deprecated in favor of the "use" directive, specifying an entrypoint.
  • Not specifying a domain during a create user, group or project call, which relied on falling back to the default domain, is now deprecated and will be removed in the N release.
  • Certain deprecated methods from the assignment manager were removed in favor of the same methods in the [resource] and [role] manager.

OpenStack Block Storage (Cinder)

Key New Features

  • A generic image caching solution, so popular VM images can be cached and copied-on-write to a new volume. Read docs for more info
  • Non-disruptive backups Read docs for more info.
  • Ability to clone consistency groups of volumes Read docs for more info.
  • List capabilities of a volume backend (fetch extra-specs).
  • Nested quotas.
  • Default LVM backends to be thin provisioned if available.
  • Corrected cinder service-list to show as Down when a driver fails to initialize.
  • Improved volume migration management:
    • Able to see if previous migration attempt was successful
    • Admins able to monitor migrations via cinder list
    • New volume status of 'maintenance' to prevent operations being attempted while migration is occurring
    • Improve backend volume name/id consistency after migration completes

Upgrade Notes

  • A change in parameters to RPC APIs and work on object conversion prevent running Liberty c-vol or c-api services with Kilo or earlier versions of either service.

Deprecated Features

  • Removed Simple and Chance Schedulers.
  • Removed deprecated HDS HUS iSCSI driver.
  • Removed Coraid driver.
  • Remove Solaris iSCSI driver.
  • Removed --force option for allowing upload of image to attached volume.
  • Marked the v1 API as deprecated.

OpenStack Orchestration (Heat)

New Features

Convergence

Convergence is a new orchestration engine maturing in the heat tree. In Liberty, the benefits of using the convergence engine are:

  • Greater parallelization of resource actions (for better scaling of large templates)
  • The ability to do a stack-update while there is already an update in-progress
  • Better handling of heat-engine failures (still WIP)

The convergence engine can be enabled by setting /etc/heat/heat/conf [DEFAULT] convergence_engine=true, then restarting heat-engine. Once this has been done, any subsequent created stack will use the convergence engine, while operations on existing stacks will continue to use the traditional engine.

Convergence has not been production tested and thus should be considered beta quality - use with caution. For the Liberty release, we recommend enabling convergence for the purposes of evaluation and scale testing. We will be considering making convergence the default engine in the Mitaka cycle. Convergence specific bugs are tracked in launchpad with the convergence-bugs tag.

Conditional resource exposure

Only resources actually installed in the cloud services are made available to users. Operators can further control resources available to users with standard policy rules in policy.json on per-resource type basis.

heat_template_version: 2015-10-15

2015-10-15 indicates that the YAML document is a HOT template and it may contain features added and/or removed up until the Liberty release.

  • Removes the Fn::Select function (path based get_attr/get_param references should be used instead).
  • If no <attribute name> is specified for calls to get_attr, a dict of all attributes is returned, e.g. { get_attr: [<resource name>]}.
  • Adds new str_split intrinsic function
  • Adds support for passing multiple lists to the existing list_join function.
  • Adds support for parsing map/list data to str_replace and list_join (they will be json serialized automatically)

REST API/heatclient additions

  • Stacks can now be assigned with a set of tags, and stack-list can filter and sort through those tags
  • "heat stack-preview ..." will return a preview of changes for a proposed stack-update
  • "heat template-validate --show-nested ..." will also validate all template resources and return nested data useful for building user interfaces
  • "heat resource-type-template --template-type hot ..." generates a template in HOT format
  • "heat resource-type-list" only shows types available to the user, and can filter results by name, version and support_status
  • "heat template-version-list" lists available template versions
  • "heat template-function-list ..." lists available functions for a template version

Enhancements to existing resources

New resources

The following new resources are now distributed with the Heat release:

[1] These existed Kilo as contrib resources as they were for non-integrated projects. These resources are now distributed with Heat as Big Tent projects.

[2] These existed Kilo as contrib resources as they require a user with an admin role. They are now distributed with Heat. Operators now have ability to hide them from under-privileged users by modifyig policy.json (for reference, OS::Nova::Flavor is hidden from non-admin users in default policy file supplied).

[3] These existed in Kilo as contrib resources as they used an approach not endorsed by the Heat project. They are now distributed with heat and documented as UNSUPPORTED.

[4] These resources are for projects which are not yet OpenStack Big Tent projects, so are documented as UNSUPPORTED

With the new OS::Keystone::* resources it is now be possible for cloud operators to use heat templates to manage Keystone service catalog entries and users.

Deprecated Resource Properties

Many resource properties have previously been documented as DEPRECATED. 15 of these properties are now flagged as HIDDEN, which means they will no longer be documented, but existing stacks and templates will continue to work after a heat upgrade. The [ http://docs.openstack.org/developer/heat/template_guide/openstack.html Resource Type Reference] should be consulted to determine available resource properties and attributes.

Upgrade notes

Configuration Changes

Notable changes to the /etc/heat/heat.conf [DEFAULT] section:

  • hidden_stack_tags has been added, and stacks containing these tag names will be hidden from stack-list results (defaults to data-processing-cluster, which hides sahara-created stacks)
  • instance_user was deprecated, and is now removed entirely. Nova servers created with OS::Nova::Server resource will now boot configured with the default user set up with the cloud image. AWS::EC2::Instance still creates "ec2-user"
  • max_resources_per_stack can now be set to -1 to disable enforcement
  • enable_cloud_watch_lite is now false by default as this REST API is deprecated
  • default_software_config_transport has gained the option ZAQAR_MESSAGE
  • default_deployment_signal_transport has gained the option ZAQAR_SIGNAL
  • auth_encryption_key is now documented as requiring exactly 32 characters
  • list_notifier_drivers was deprecated and is now removed
  • policy options have moved to the [oslo_policy] section
  • use_syslog_rfc_format is deprecated and now defaults to true

Notable changes to other sections of heat.conf:

  • [clients_keystone] auth_uri has been added to specify the unversioned keystone url
  • [heat_api] workers now defaults to 4 (was previously 0, which created a worker per host CPU)

The policy file /etc/heat/policy.json can now be configured with per-resource-type access policies, for example:

   "resource_types:OS::Nova::Flavor": "rule:context_is_admin"

Upgrading from Kilo to Liberty

Progress has been made on supporting live sql migrations, however it is still recommended to bring down the heat service for the duration of the upgrade. Downward SQL schema migrations are no longer supported. A rollback to Kilo will require restoring a snapshot of the pre-upgrade database.

OpenStack Data Processing (Sahara)

Key New Features

  • New plugins and versions:
    • Ambari plugin with supports HDP 2.2 / 2.3
    • Apache Hadoop 2.7.1 was added, Apache Hadoop 2.6.0 was deprecated

Deprecated Features

  • Direct provisioning engine
  • Apache Hadoop 2.6.0
  • Spark 1.0.0
  • All Hadoop 1.X removed

OpenStack Search (Searchlight)

This is the first release for Searchlight. Searchlight is intended to dramatically improving the search capabilities and performance of various OpenStack cloud services by offloading user search queries. It provides Keystone RBAC based searches across OpenStack services by indexing their data into ElasticSearch and providing a security layer on top of incoming search queries. ElasticSearch is a search server based on Lucene. It provides a distributed, scalable, near real-time, faceted, multitenant-capable, and full-text search engine with a RESTful web interface.

Key New Features

New Resource Types Indexed

Upgrade Notes

N/A

Deprecated Features

N/A

OpenStack DNS (Designate)

Key New Features

  • Experimental: Hook Point API
  • Horizon Plugin moved out of tree
  • Purging deleted domains
  • Ceilometer "exists" periodic event per domain
  • ASync actions
    • Import
    • Export
  • Active /passive failover for designate-pool-manager periodic tasks
  • OpenStack client integration

Addtional DNS Server Backends

  • InfoBlox
  • Designate

Upgrade Notes

  • New service designate-zone-manager
    • It is recommended to use a supported tooz backend.
    • ZooKeeper is recommended, or anything supported by tooz.
    • If a tooz backend is not used, all zone-managers will assume ownership of all zones, and there will be 'n' "exists" messages per hour, where 'n' is the number of zone-manager processes.
  • designate-pool-manager can do active/passive failover for periodic tasks.
    • It is recommended to use a supported tooz backend.
    • If a tooz backend is not used, all pool-managers will assume ownership of the pool, and multiple periodic tasks will run. This can result in unforeseen consequences.

Deprecated Features

  • V1 API
    • An initial notice of intent, as there are operations that still require the Designate CLI interface which talks to V1, and Horizon panels that only talk to V1.

OpenStack Messaging Service (Zaqar)

Key New Features

  • Pre-signed URL - A new REST API endpoint to support pre-signed URL, which provides enough control over the resource being shared, without compromising security.
  • Email Notification - A new task driver for notification service, which can take a Zaqar subscriber's email address. When there is a new message posted to the queue, the subscriber will receive the message by email.
  • Policy Support - Support fine-grained permission control with the policy.json file like most of the other OpenStack components.
  • Persistent Transport - Added support for websocket as a persistent transport alternative for Zaqar. Now users will be able to establish long-lived connections between their applications and Zaqar to interchange large amounts of data without the connection setup adding overhead.

OpenStack Dashboard (Horizon)

Key New Features

  • pxe_ilo driver now supports UEFI Secure Boot (previous releases of theiLO driver only supported this for agent_ilo and iscsi_ilo).
  • Added Virtual Media support to iRMC Driver.
  • Added BIOS configuration to DRAC Driver.
  • PXE drivers now support GRUB2.

Deprecated Features

  • The "vendor_passthru" and "driver_vendor_passthru" methods of the DriverInterface have been removed. These were deprecated in Kilo and replaced with the @passthru decorator.
  • The migration tools to import data from a Nova "baremetal" deployment have been removed.
  • Deprecated the "parallel" option to periodic task decorator.
  • Removed deprecated ‘admin_api’ policy rule.
  • Support for the original "bash" deploy ramdisk is deprecated and will be removed in two cycles. The ironic-python-agent project should be used for all deploy drivers.

Upgrade Notes

  • Newly created nodes default to the new ENROLL state. Previously, nodes defaulted to AVAILABLE, which could lead to hardware being exposed prematurely to Nova.
  • The addition of API version headers in Kilo means that any client wishing to interact with the Liberty API must pass the appropriate version string in each HTTP request. Current API version is 1.14.

OpenStack Key Manager (Barbican)

New Features

  • Added the ability for project administrators to create certificate authorities per project. Also, project administrators are able to define and manage a set of preferred certificate authorities (CAs) per project. This allows projects to achieve project specific security domains.
  • Barbican now has per project quota support for limiting number of Barbican resources that can be created under a project. By default the quota is set to unlimited and can be overridden in Barbican configuration.
  • Support for a rotating master key which is used for wrapping project level keys. In this lightweight approach, only the project level key (KEK) is re-wrapped with new master key (MKEK). This is currently applicable only for the PKCS11 plug-in. (http://specs.openstack.org/openstack/barbican-specs/specs/liberty/add-crypto-mkek-rotation-support-lightweight.html)
  • Updated Barbican's root resource to return version information matching Keystone, Nova and Manila format. This is used by keystoneclient's versioned endpoint discovery feature.
  • Removed administrator endpoint as all operations are available on a regular endpoint. No separate endpoint is needed as access restrictions are enforced via Oslo policy.
  • Added configuration for enabling sqlalchemy pool for the management of SQL connections.
  • Added ability to list secrets which are accessible via ACL using GET /v1/secrets?acl-only=true request.
  • Improved functional test coverage around Barbican APIs related to ACL operations, RBAC policy and secrets.
  • Fixed issues around creation of SnakeOil CA plug-in instance.
  • Barbican client CLI can now take a Keystone token for authentication. Earlier only username and password based authentication was supported.
  • Barbican client now has ability to create and list certificate orders.
