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 |
* CLOUDBAR_MENU_URL should point to /astakos/api/get_menu |
23 |
|
24 |
Astakos |
25 |
------- |
26 |
* Redesign of the accounting system (quotaholder) and integration into |
27 |
astakos. |
28 |
|
29 |
* Simplified the quotaholder model; removed tables Entity and Policy; now |
30 |
table Holding contains limit and usage for every holding. |
31 |
|
32 |
* Extended table Holding, so that we can keep track of quota for every |
33 |
valid combination of holder (e.g. user), resource, and source (e.g. the |
34 |
default system or some specific project). |
35 |
|
36 |
* Refactored code for issuing and resolving commissions for robustness; |
37 |
added a 'force' option to bypass the upper limit check when issuing a |
38 |
commission. |
39 |
|
40 |
* Simplified syncing to the quotaholder; removed fields from models |
41 |
Project and ProjectMembership, previously needed for syncing; removed |
42 |
state PROJECT_DEACTIVATED from ProjectMembership. |
43 |
|
44 |
* Service and resource specification and handling: |
45 |
|
46 |
* Specified a format for defining resources a service exposes. Migrated |
47 |
internal resource name by prefixing it with service name (e.g. 'vm' |
48 |
becomes 'cyclades.vm'); renamed registered service 'pithos+' to |
49 |
'pithos'. |
50 |
|
51 |
* Specified a procedure to register a service's resources in astakos and |
52 |
set their respective default base quota limit. Removed resource |
53 |
definitions from settings. |
54 |
|
55 |
* Moved service and resource presentation data out of the respective db |
56 |
models into a separate file of UI constants. |
57 |
|
58 |
* Converted the limit on pending applications from a setting to a quotable |
59 |
resource. Converted the related user setting to a user-specific base quota |
60 |
limit. Deprecated model UserSetting; removed setting |
61 |
ASTAKOS_PENDING_APPLICATION_LIMIT. |
62 |
|
63 |
* Changes in locking strategy: |
64 |
|
65 |
* Lock only project's chain for all project operations; lock user before |
66 |
syncing to quotaholder. |
67 |
|
68 |
* When locking multiple rows (e.g. users or holdings) include an ORDER BY |
69 |
clause in the query to impose ordering on locking. |
70 |
|
71 |
* API-related changes: |
72 |
|
73 |
* Implemented API calls for quota, resources, and commissions. |
74 |
|
75 |
* Moved all API calls under '/astakos/api'. Kept also previous locations |
76 |
for backwards compatibility. |
77 |
|
78 |
* Changes in views: |
79 |
|
80 |
* Replaced custom transaction context with a simple decorator for managing |
81 |
transactions and a context 'ExceptionHandler', which logs and suppresses |
82 |
exceptions |
83 |
|
84 |
* Management commands: |
85 |
|
86 |
* Renamed command astakos-quota to quota; user-update to user-modify. |
87 |
|
88 |
* Removed user-set-initial-quota; integrated its functionality in |
89 |
user-modify and quota. |
90 |
|
91 |
* Added quota and project-related information in user-show command; added |
92 |
membership information in project-show. |
93 |
|
94 |
|
95 |
Cyclades |
96 |
-------- |
97 |
* Make 'type' attribute required for network create API request. |
98 |
* Networks not created to all Ganeti backends upon creation, they are instead |
99 |
created to a backend only when a VM connects to the network. |
100 |
* Add 'ASTAKOS_POOLSIZE' setting which tunes the size of the http connection |
101 |
pool to astakos. |
102 |
* Remove 'CYCLADES_USER_CATALOG_URL' and 'CYCLADES_USER_FEEDBACK_URL' settings |
103 |
* Remove CYCLADES_USE_QUOTAHOLDER, CYCLADES_QUOTAHOLDER_TOKEN, |
104 |
CYCLADES_QUOTAHOLDER_URL, CYCLADES_QUOTAHOLDER_POOLSIZE settings |
105 |
* Rename 'cyclades-usage-verify' management command to |
106 |
'reconcile-resources-cyclades'. Also, remove 'cyclades-usage-reset' command, |
107 |
which is equivalent to 'reconcile-resources-cyclades --fix'. |
108 |
* Rename 'cyclades-reconcile-commissions' management command to |
109 |
'reconcile-commissions-cyclades'. |
110 |
* Remove obsolete 'MAX_VMS_PER_USER', 'MAX_NETWORKS_PER_USER', |
111 |
"VMS_USER_QUOTA" and "NETWORKS_USER_QUOTA" settings, since their usage |
112 |
is covered by Quotaholder. |
113 |
|
114 |
|
115 |
Pithos |
116 |
------ |
117 |
* Remove PITHOS_AUTHENTICATION_USERS setting, which was used to override |
118 |
astakos users. |
119 |
* Remove 'PITHOS_USER_CATALOG_URL', 'PITHOS_USER_FEEDBACK_URL' and |
120 |
'PITHOS_USER_LOGIN_URL' settings. |
121 |
* Remove PITHOS_USE_QUOTAHOLDER, PITHOS_QUOTAHOLDER_URL, |
122 |
PITHOS_QUOTAHOLDER_TOKEN and PITHOS_ASTAKOSCLIENT_POOLSIZE |
