========= |
14 |
|
15 |
Released: UNRELEASED |
16 |
|
17 |
Synnefo-wide |
18 |
------------ |
19 |
* Create 'snf_django' Python package to hold common code for all Synnefo |
20 |
components. |
21 |
* CLOUDBAR_SERVICES_URL should point to /astakos/api/get_services |
22 |
|
23 |
Astakos |
24 |
------- |
25 |
* Redesign of the accounting system (quotaholder) and integration into |
26 |
astakos. |
27 |
|
28 |
* Simplified the quotaholder model; removed tables Entity and Policy; now |
29 |
table Holding contains limit and usage for every holding. |
30 |
|
31 |
* Extended table Holding, so that we can keep track of quota for every |
32 |
valid combination of holder (e.g. user), resource, and source (e.g. the |
33 |
default system or some specific project). |
34 |
|
35 |
* Refactored code for issuing and resolving commissions for robustness; |
36 |
added a 'force' option to bypass the upper limit check when issuing a |
37 |
commission. |
38 |
|
39 |
* Simplified syncing to the quotaholder; removed fields from models |
40 |
Project and ProjectMembership, previously needed for syncing; removed |
41 |
state PROJECT_DEACTIVATED from ProjectMembership. |
42 |
|
43 |
* Service and resource specification and handling: |
44 |
|
45 |
* Specified a format for defining resources a service exposes. Migrated |
46 |
internal resource name by prefixing it with service name (e.g. 'vm' |
47 |
becomes 'cyclades.vm'); renamed registered service 'pithos+' to |
48 |
'pithos'. |
49 |
|
50 |
* Specified a procedure to register a service's resources in astakos and |
51 |
set their respective default base quota limit. Removed resource |
52 |
definitions from settings. |
53 |
|
54 |
* Moved service and resource presentation data out of the respective db |
55 |
models into a separate file of UI constants. |
56 |
|
57 |
* Converted the limit on pending applications from a setting to a quotable |
58 |
resource. Converted the related user setting to a user-specific base quota |
59 |
limit. Deprecated model UserSetting; removed setting |
60 |
ASTAKOS_PENDING_APPLICATION_LIMIT. |
61 |
|
62 |
* Changes in locking strategy: |
63 |
|
64 |
* Lock only project's chain for all project operations; lock user before |
65 |
syncing to quotaholder. |
66 |
|
67 |
* When locking multiple rows (e.g. users or holdings) include an ORDER BY |
68 |
clause in the query to impose ordering on locking. |
69 |
|
70 |
* API-related changes: |
71 |
|
72 |
* Implemented API calls for quota, resources, and commissions. |
73 |
|
74 |
* Moved all API calls under '/astakos/api'. Kept also previous locations |
75 |
for backwards compatibility. |
76 |
|
77 |
* Changes in views: |
78 |
|
79 |
* Replaced custom transaction context with a simple decorator for managing |
80 |
transactions and a context 'ExceptionHandler', which logs and suppresses |
81 |
exceptions |
82 |
|
83 |
* Management commands: |
84 |
|
85 |
* Renamed command astakos-quota to quota; user-update to user-modify. |
86 |
|
87 |
* Removed user-set-initial-quota; integrated its functionality in |
88 |
user-modify and quota. |
89 |
|
90 |
* Added quota and project-related information in user-show command; added |
91 |
membership information in project-show. |
92 |
|
93 |
|
94 |
Cyclades |
95 |
-------- |
96 |
* Make 'type' attribute required for network create API request. |
97 |
* Networks not created to all Ganeti backends upon creation, they are instead |
98 |
created to a backend only when a VM connects to the network. |
99 |
* Add 'ASTAKOS_POOLSIZE' setting which tunes the size of the http connection |
100 |
pool to astakos. |
101 |
* Remove 'CYCLADES_USER_CATALOG_URL' and 'CYCLADES_USER_FEEDBACK_URL' settings |
102 |
* Remove CYCLADES_USE_QUOTAHOLDER, CYCLADES_QUOTAHOLDER_TOKEN, |
103 |
CYCLADES_QUOTAHOLDER_URL, CYCLADES_QUOTAHOLDER_POOLSIZE settings |
104 |
* Rename 'cyclades-usage-verify' management command to |
105 |
'reconcile-resources-cyclades'. Also, remove 'cyclades-usage-reset' command, |
106 |
which is equivalent to 'reconcile-resources-cyclades --fix'. |
107 |
* Rename 'cyclades-reconcile-commissions' management command to |
108 |
'reconcile-commissions-cyclades'. |
109 |
* Remove obsolete 'MAX_VMS_PER_USER', 'MAX_NETWORKS_PER_USER', |
110 |
"VMS_USER_QUOTA" and "NETWORKS_USER_QUOTA" settings, since their usage |
111 |
is covered by Quotaholder. |
112 |
|
113 |
|
114 |
Pithos |
115 |
------ |
116 |
* Remove PITHOS_AUTHENTICATION_USERS setting, which was used to override |
117 |
astakos users. |
118 |
* Remove 'PITHOS_USER_CATALOG_URL', 'PITHOS_USER_FEEDBACK_URL' and |
119 |
'PITHOS_USER_LOGIN_URL' settings. |
120 |
* Remove PITHOS_USE_QUOTAHOLDER, PITHOS_QUOTAHOLDER_URL, |
121 |
PITHOS_QUOTAHOLDER_TOKEN and PITHOS_ASTAKOSCLIENT_POOLSIZE |
