Released: UNRELEASED

14
Synnefo-wide
15
------------
16

    
17
* Integrate Pithos tests in continuous integration.
18

    
19
* Change astakosclient to accept AUTH_URL instead of BASE_URL
20
  ASTAKOS_BASE_URL settings has been removed from Pithos and Cyclades
21
  and has been replaced with ASTAKOS_AUTH_URL. Both Pithos and Cyclades
22
  proxy the Astakos services under ASTAKOS_PROXY_PREFIX path.
23
  ASTAKOS_PROXY_PREFIX by default has a value of '_astakos'.
24
  More specifically, Astakos' identity service is proxied under
25
  '_astakos/identity', Astakos' account service is under '_astakos/account'
26
  and Astakos' ui service is under '_astakos/ui'.
27

    
28
* Add 'mail_admins' handler to 'django.request' logger in order to send email
29
  notifactions to users listed in 'ADMINS' setting about unhandled exceptions
30
  in the code.
31

    
32
* Extend astakosclient to request and validate OAuth 2.0 access tokens
33

    
34
* Change response status code from 400 (Bad Request) to 405 (Not allowed
35
  method) in case of an unexpected request method.
36

Astakos
38
-------
39

    
40
* Changes in project schema:
41

    
42
  * A Project entry is created when submitting an application for a new
43
    project, rather than on approval. Its state is dependent on the state
44
    of its `reference' application (current definition). Lock Project rather
45
    than Chain (the latter is semantically obsolete).
46

    
47
  * Project states "Active - Pending" and "Suspended - Pending" have been
48
    removed. In management command `project-list', the existence of a pending
49
    modification is indicated by a non-blank `Pending AppID'.
50

    
51
  * Improve recording of project, application, and membership actions.
52

    
53
* Implement API calls for projects.
54

    
55
* Store the base URL of a component. Deployer should provide it when adding
56
  a new component. Service endpoints originating from a component are
57
  expected to match its base URL; otherwise, a warning is issued.
58
  Re-registration with `snf-component-register' affects both the base and
59
  the ui URL.
60

    
61
* Changes in resource and quota handling:
62

    
63
  * New resources are registered with unlimited default base quota,
64
    represented by 2**63-1.
65
  * Each newly accepted user copies the default value for all resources
66
    as their own base quota. A base quota is considered 'custom' if its
67
    value differs from the default.
68
  * Changing resource's default quota affects the base quota *only* of
69
    future users.
70
  * Resource definition got flags 'api_visible' and 'ui_visible',
71
    replacing flag 'allow_in_projects'. They control whether a user can
72
    access these resources. The system internally always accounts for
73
    all resources, and a user can get off quota even for a resource that
74
    is not visible.
75

    
76
* Remove API call GET /account/v1.0/authenticate in favor of
77
  POST /identity/v2.0/tokens.
78

    
79
* Export basic statistics about Astakos service from '/admin/stats/detail' API
80
  endpoint. Access to this endpoint is only allowed to users that belong to
81
  the Astakos groups that are defined in the
82
  'ASTAKOS_ADMIN_STATS_PERMITTED_GROUPS' setting. Statistics are also availble
83
  from 'snf-manage stats-astakos' management command.
84

    
85
* Implement OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code Grant
86
  Add API calls for authorization code and access token generation
87

    
88
* Add API call for validating OAuth 2.0 access tokens
89

    
90
* Management commands:
91
  * Introduced new commands:
92
     * component-show
93
     * quota-list (replacing quota, supports various filters)
94
     * quota-verify (replacing quota)
95
	 * oauth2-client-add (register OAuth 2.0 client)
96
	 * oauth2-client-list (list registered oauth 2.0 clients)
97
	 * oauth2-client-remove (remove OAuth 2.0 client)
98
  * Changed commands:
99
     * component-add got options --base-url and --ui-url
100
     * resource-modify --limit became --default-quota
101
     * user-modify can operate on multiple users with --all and --exclude
102
     * user-modify --set-base-quota became --base-quota
103
  * Removed commands:
104
     * quota
105
     * resource-import (subsumed by service-import)
106
     * resource-export-astakos (subsumed by service-export-astakos)
107

    
108
Cyclades
109
--------
110

    
111
* Major changes to Cyclades networks:
112

    
113
  * Implement 'cyclades_network' service, containing the /networks, /ports,
114
    /subnets and /floatingips API endpoints under '/network/v2.0'.
115
	The old /networks API of 'cyclades_compute' (under /compute/v2.0) is
116
	removed.
117
  * Implement `snf-manage subnet-{create, list, modify, inspect}' management
118
    commands for handling of subnets.
119
  * Implement `snf-manage port-{create, list, remove, inspect}' management
120
    commands for handling of ports.
121
  * Add two new settings, 'CYCLADES_FORCED_SERVER_NETWORKS' and
122
	'CYCLADES_DEFAULT_SERVER_NETWORKS' to control the networks that newly
123
	created servers will be connected.
124

    
125
* Implement Floating IP addresses, which are IPv4 addresses that can be
126
  dynamically added and removed to a running server.
127

    
128
  * Add new 'cyclades.floating_ip' resource.
129
  * Implement 'snf-manage floating-ip-{create,list,remove,attach,detach}'
130
	management commands to handle floating IPs.
131
  * Add 'floating_ip_pool' attribute to networks to mark networks that can
132
    be used as floating IP pools.
133

    
134
* Implement 'resize' server action.
135

    
136
  * Implement the 'resize' server action, to change the flavor of a server.
137
  Only 'cpu' and 'memory' resizing is supported.
138

    
139
* Compute quotas for CPU and memory of running vms.
140

    
141
  * Change 'cyclades.cpu' and 'cyclades.ram' resources to represent the CPU
142
    and RAM for running VMs. Total CPU and RAM usage is represented by new
143
    'cyclades.total_cpu' and 'cyclades.total_ram' resources.
144

    
145
* Refer to Ganeti NICs by their name instead of their index.
146

    
147
  * Make cyclades give a unique name to each Ganeti NIC. NICs are refered by
148
    their unique name and not by their index inside the VM that are connected
149
	to.
150

    
151
* Support firewall profile for all NICs of an instance. Change firewall
152
  settings to be filled with the unique name of the NIC. The affected settings
153
  are the GANETI_FIREWALL_{ENABLED, DISABLED, PROTECTED}_TAG settings.
154
* Add accounting for public IP addresses that is accessible via `snf-manage
155
  ip-list` management command and via the helpdesk app.
156
* Implement IPv6 only networks.
157
* Extend servers info API response with 'SNF:fqdn' attribute, and introduce
158
  CYCLADES_SERVERS_FQDN to set the template for servers FDQN. Remove
159
  'UI_VM_HOSTNAME_FORMAT' setting.
160
* Extend servers info API response with 'SNF:port_forwarding' attribute,
161
  describing port fowarding rules (DNAT) that are applied to vms. The
162
  description of such rules is done via the new CYCLADES_PORT_FORWARDING
163
  setting.
164
* Speed up server reconciliation, by performing parallel reconciliation for
165
  each backend.
166
* Change --dhcp option of network management commands from a flag to a boolean
167
  value, e.g. --dhcp=True
168
* Remove 'ARCHIPELAGO_BACKENDS' setting used to distinquish between backends
169
  that hosted only archipelago backends. Instead allocation is based on which
170
  disk-templates are enabled in each backend.
171
* Implement 'snf-manage server-remove' management command.
172
* Move reconciliation of IP pools from 'reconcile-networks' to
173
  'reconcile-pools'. The IP pool reconciliation does not reconcile the IP
174
  pools with Ganeti. Instead it checks if the pool is consistent with the
175
  IPs that are used by instances.
176
* Do not automatically release externally reserved IPs if they are released
177
  from a Ganeti backend. Management of externally reserved IPs must be
178
  performed from Cyclades with 'network-modify' command.
179
* Export basic statistics about Cyclades Service from '/admin/stats/detail'
180
  API endpoint. Access to this endpoint is only allowed to users that belong
181
  to the Astakos groups that are defined in the 'ADMIN_STATS_PERMITTED_GROUPS'
182
  setting.  Statistics are also availble from 'snf-manage stats-cyclades'
183
  management command.
184
* Support enforcing quota through command 'enforce-resources-cyclades'.
185
* Remove command 'resource-export-cyclades' subsumed by
186
  'service-export-cyclades'.
187
* Obsolete PUBLIC_USE_POOL setting, since Cyclades manages IP pool for all
188
  type of networks.
189
* Encrypt / decrypt the instance id / hostname in the  stats URL in
190
  snf-cyclades-app and snf-stats-app, using the 'CYCLADES_STATS_SECRET_KEY'
191
  and 'STATS_SECRET_KEY' respectively.
192
* Add support for snf-vncauthproxy-1.5 and the setting
193
  'CYCLADES_VNCAUTHPROXY_OPTS', which configures the extra options / arguments
194
  needed by the newer version of snf-vncauthproxy. Support for older versions
195
  of snf-vncauthproxy has been dropped. See also the upgrade notes for Synnefo
196
  and snf-vncauthproxy-1.5.
197
* Remove 'DEFAULT_ROUTING_TABLE' setting. If a link for an IP_LESS_ROUTED
198
  network is not specified, the link will be uniquely named
199
  'snf-link-$network_id'.

  resources, and other standardized properties (e.g. default URL prefixes).
465

    
466
* Standardize URLs for Synnefo Components, impose structure and naming
467
  conventions to related settings. Make each component deployable under
468

469
  is deployable under a developer-configurable prefix beneath BASE_URL.
470

    
471
* Deprecate CLOUDBAR_ACTIVE_SERVICE setting from all apps. 
472

Astakos
476
-------
477

    
478
* Redesign of the accounting system (quotaholder) and integration into
479
  Astakos.
480

    
481
  * Simplified the quotaholder model; removed tables Entity and Policy; now
482
    table Holding contains limit and usage for every holding.
483
  * Extended table Holding, so that we can keep track of quota for every
484
    valid combination of holder (e.g. user), resource, and source (e.g. the
485
    default system or some specific project).
486
  * Refactored code for issuing and resolving commissions for robustness;
487
    added a 'force' option to bypass the upper limit check when issuing a
488
    commission.
489
  * Simplified syncing to the quotaholder; removed fields from models
490
    Project and ProjectMembership, previously needed for syncing; removed
491
    state PROJECT_DEACTIVATED from ProjectMembership.
492
  * Removed settings ASTAKOS_QUOTAHOLDER_URL, ASTAKOS_QUOTAHOLDER_TOKEN,
493
    and ASTAKOS_QUOTAHOLDER_POOLSIZE.
494

    
495
* API-related changes:
496

    
497
  * Implemented API calls for quota, resources, and commissions.
498
  * Moved all API calls under '/account/v1.0'.
499
  * Implemented the keystone API call POST /tokens under '/identity/v2.0'.
500

    
501
* Service and resource specification and handling:
502

    
503
  * Specified a format for defining services along with the API endpoints
504
    and the resources they expose. Migrated internal resource name by
505
    prefixing it with service name (e.g. 'vm' becomes 'cyclades.vm');
506
    renamed registered service 'pithos+' to 'pithos'.
507
  * Specified a procedure to register a Synnefo component, its services and
508
    their resources in astakos and set the resources' default base quota
509
    limit. Removed resource definitions from settings.
510
  * Moved service and resource presentation data out of the respective db
511
    models into a separate file of UI constants.
512

    
513
* Converted the limit on pending applications from a setting to a quotable
514
  resource. Converted the related user setting to a user-specific base quota
515
  limit. Deprecated model UserSetting; removed setting
516
  ASTAKOS_PENDING_APPLICATION_LIMIT.
517

    
518
* Changes in locking strategy:
519

    
520
  * Lock only project's chain for all project operations; lock user before
521
    syncing to quotaholder.
522
  * When locking multiple rows (e.g. users or holdings) include an ORDER BY
523
    clause in the query to impose ordering on locking.
524

    
525
* Changes in views:
526

    
527
  * Replaced custom transaction context with a simple decorator for managing
528
    transactions and a context 'ExceptionHandler', which logs and suppresses
529
    exceptions
530

    
531
* Added fine grain user auth provider's policies.
532

    
533
  * Administrator can override default auth provider policies to a specific 
534
    user or group of users.
535
  * Optionally a user can be assigned to a list of groups, based on the
536
    authentication method he choosed to signup.
537

    
538
* Removed explicit handling of SMTP errors on each email delivery. Exceptions 
539
  are now propagated to base django exception handler.
540

    
541
* Email used in html/email tempaltes which prompt user to contact for service 
542
  support prompts is now defined in ``CONTACT_EMAIL`` setting introduced in 
543
  snf-common settings.
544

    
545
* Improvements in user activation flow
546

    
547
  * User moderation now takes place after the user has verified his email
548
    address.
549
  * User model enriched with additional user state fields
550
  * Split activation email from moderation process. Administrator is required 
551
    to moderate user explicitly using the `user-modify --accept` or
552
    `user-modify --reject` commands.
553
  * Improved logging throught out user activation procedures.
554

    
555
* Remove deprecated AstakosUser model fields: `provider`,
556
  `third_party_identifier`
557

    
558
* Allow override of authentication provider messages using the following 
559
  format in setting names: ``ASTAKOS_<PROVIDER_MODULE>_<MSGID>_MSG``
560

    
561
* Cloudbar automatically tries to identify the active service based on window 
562
  location.
563

    
564
* Removing authentication provider view is now CSRF protected.
565

    
566
* New `API access` view, containing useful information to users on how to 
567
  access available Synnefo services API's.
568

    
569
* Remove of ASTAKOS_*_EMAIL_SUBJECT settings. All email subjects are now 
570
  defined in astakos.im.messages module. Overriding default values can be 
571
  achieved using custom gettext files or using astakos messages settings::
572
	
573
	#change of greeting email subject
574
  	ASTAKOS_GREETING_EMAIL_SUBJECT_MESSAGE = 'Welcome to my cloud'
575

    
576
* Remove ``ASTAKOS_ACTIVATION_REDIRECT_URL`` and ``ASTAKOS_LOGIN_SUCCESS_URL`` 
577
  from astakos .conf file. Settings are dynamically computed based on 
578
  ``ASTAKOS_BASE_URL``.
