HostAgent

Host Agent

Live Notes may be taken for this topic at: http://etherpad.openstack.org/HostAgent

Requirements

• should be a nice unix daemon
• should support syslog
• failure should not affect guest instances

Considerations

• Heavy I/O operations should be executed with Processing Pools (or some mechanism that limits concurrent operations)
• Upgrades to HostAgent code (apt-get update) without breaking current long running tasks (spawning of instances)
• HostAgent should be stateless, with persistent state in the datastore
• Support GuestAgent ...
