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
* **Shibboleth module** Extract unique identifier from the
91
  ``REMOTE_USER`` header.
92

    
93
* Automatically fill third party signup form fields when available by the
94
  the third party provider.
95

    
96
* Management commands:
97

    
98
  * Introduced new commands:
99
	* component-show
100
	* quota-list (replacing quota, supports various filters)
101
	* quota-verify (replacing quota)
102
	* oauth2-client-add (register OAuth 2.0 client)
103
	* oauth2-client-list (list registered oauth 2.0 clients)
104
	* oauth2-client-remove (remove OAuth 2.0 client)
105
  * Changed commands:
106
	* component-add got options --base-url and --ui-url
107
	* resource-modify --limit became --default-quota
108
	* user-modify can operate on multiple users with --all and --exclude
109
	* user-modify --set-base-quota became --base-quota
110
  * Removed commands:
111
	* quota
112
	* resource-import (subsumed by service-import)
113
	* resource-export-astakos (subsumed by service-export-astakos)
114

    
115
Cyclades
116
--------
117

    
118
* Major changes to Cyclades networks:
119

    
120
  * Implement 'cyclades_network' service, containing the /networks, /ports,
121
    /subnets and /floatingips API endpoints under '/network/v2.0'. The old
122
    /networks API of 'cyclades_compute' (under /compute/v2.0) is
123
    removed.
124
  * Implement `snf-manage subnet-{create, list, modify, inspect}' management
125
    commands for handling of subnets.
126
  * Implement `snf-manage port-{create, list, remove, inspect}' management
127
    commands for handling of ports.
128
  * Add two new settings, 'CYCLADES_FORCED_SERVER_NETWORKS' and
129
    'CYCLADES_DEFAULT_SERVER_NETWORKS' to control the networks that newly
130
    created servers will be connected.
131

    
132
* Implement Floating IP addresses, which are IPv4 addresses that can be
133
  dynamically added and removed to a running server.
134

    
135
  * Add new 'cyclades.floating_ip' resource.
136
  * Implement 'snf-manage floating-ip-{create,list,remove,attach,detach}'
137
    management commands to handle floating IPs.
138
  * Add 'floating_ip_pool' attribute to networks to mark networks that can
139
    be used as floating IP pools.
140

    
141
* Implement 'resize' server action.
142

    
143
  * Implement the 'resize' server action, to change the flavor of a server.
144
    Only 'cpu' and 'memory' resizing is supported.
145

    
146
* Compute quotas for CPU and memory of running vms.
147

    
148
  * Change 'cyclades.cpu' and 'cyclades.ram' resources to represent the CPU
149
    and RAM for running VMs. Total CPU and RAM usage is represented by new
150
    'cyclades.total_cpu' and 'cyclades.total_ram' resources.
151

    
152
* Refer to Ganeti NICs by their name instead of their index.
153

    
154
  * Make cyclades give a unique name to each Ganeti NIC. NICs are refered by
155
    their unique name and not by their index inside the VM that are connected
156
    to.
157

    
158
* Support firewall profile for all NICs of an instance. Change firewall
159
  settings to be filled with the unique name of the NIC. The affected settings
160
  are the GANETI_FIREWALL_{ENABLED, DISABLED, PROTECTED}_TAG settings.
161
* Add accounting for public IP addresses that is accessible via `snf-manage
162
  ip-list` management command and via the helpdesk app.
163
* Implement IPv6 only networks.
164
* Extend servers info API response with 'SNF:fqdn' attribute, and introduce
165
  CYCLADES_SERVERS_FQDN to set the template for servers FDQN. Remove
166
  'UI_VM_HOSTNAME_FORMAT' setting.
167
* Extend servers info API response with 'SNF:port_forwarding' attribute,
168
  describing port fowarding rules (DNAT) that are applied to vms. The
169
  description of such rules is done via the new CYCLADES_PORT_FORWARDING
170
  setting.
171
* Speed up server reconciliation, by performing parallel reconciliation for
172
  each backend.
173
* Change --dhcp option of network management commands from a flag to a boolean
174
  value, e.g. --dhcp=True
175
* Remove 'ARCHIPELAGO_BACKENDS' setting used to distinquish between backends
176
  that hosted only archipelago backends. Instead allocation is based on which
177
  disk-templates are enabled in each backend.
178
* Implement 'snf-manage server-remove' management command.
179
* Move reconciliation of IP pools from 'reconcile-networks' to
180
  'reconcile-pools'. The IP pool reconciliation does not reconcile the IP
181
  pools with Ganeti. Instead it checks if the pool is consistent with the
182
  IPs that are used by instances.
183
* Do not automatically release externally reserved IPs if they are released
184
  from a Ganeti backend. Management of externally reserved IPs must be
185
  performed from Cyclades with 'network-modify' command.
186
* Export basic statistics about Cyclades Service from '/admin/stats/detail'
187
  API endpoint. Access to this endpoint is only allowed to users that belong
188
  to the Astakos groups that are defined in the 'ADMIN_STATS_PERMITTED_GROUPS'
189
  setting.  Statistics are also availble from 'snf-manage stats-cyclades'
190
  management command.
191
* Support enforcing quota through command 'enforce-resources-cyclades'.
192
* Remove command 'resource-export-cyclades' subsumed by
193
  'service-export-cyclades'.
194
* Obsolete PUBLIC_USE_POOL setting, since Cyclades manages IP pool for all
195
  type of networks.
196
* Encrypt / decrypt the instance id / hostname in the  stats URL in
197
  snf-cyclades-app and snf-stats-app, using the 'CYCLADES_STATS_SECRET_KEY'
198
  and 'STATS_SECRET_KEY' respectively.
199
* Add support for snf-vncauthproxy-1.5 and the setting
200
  'CYCLADES_VNCAUTHPROXY_OPTS', which configures the extra options / arguments
201
  needed by the newer version of snf-vncauthproxy. Support for older versions
202
  of snf-vncauthproxy has been dropped. See also the upgrade notes for Synnefo
203
  and snf-vncauthproxy-1.5.
204
* Remove 'DEFAULT_ROUTING_TABLE' setting. If a link for an IP_LESS_ROUTED
205
  network is not specified, the link will be uniquely named
206
  'snf-link-$network_id'.

456
  resources, and other standardized properties (e.g. default URL prefixes).
457

    
458
* Standardize URLs for Synnefo Components, impose structure and naming
459
  conventions to related settings. Make each component deployable under

  a user-configurable <COMPONENT>_BASE_URL. Each API (compute, image, etc.)
461
  is deployable under a developer-configurable prefix beneath BASE_URL.
462

    
463
* Deprecate CLOUDBAR_ACTIVE_SERVICE setting from all apps.
464

Astakos
468
-------
469

    
470
* Redesign of the accounting system (quotaholder) and integration into
471
  Astakos.
472

    
473
  * Simplified the quotaholder model; removed tables Entity and Policy; now
474
    table Holding contains limit and usage for every holding.
475
  * Extended table Holding, so that we can keep track of quota for every
476
    valid combination of holder (e.g. user), resource, and source (e.g. the
477
    default system or some specific project).
478
  * Refactored code for issuing and resolving commissions for robustness;
479
    added a 'force' option to bypass the upper limit check when issuing a
480
    commission.
481
  * Simplified syncing to the quotaholder; removed fields from models
482
    Project and ProjectMembership, previously needed for syncing; removed
483
    state PROJECT_DEACTIVATED from ProjectMembership.
484
  * Removed settings ASTAKOS_QUOTAHOLDER_URL, ASTAKOS_QUOTAHOLDER_TOKEN,
485
    and ASTAKOS_QUOTAHOLDER_POOLSIZE.
486

    
487
* API-related changes:
488

    
489
  * Implemented API calls for quota, resources, and commissions.
490
  * Moved all API calls under '/account/v1.0'.
491
  * Implemented the keystone API call POST /tokens under '/identity/v2.0'.
492

    
493
* Service and resource specification and handling:
494

    
495
  * Specified a format for defining services along with the API endpoints
496
    and the resources they expose. Migrated internal resource name by
497
    prefixing it with service name (e.g. 'vm' becomes 'cyclades.vm');
498
    renamed registered service 'pithos+' to 'pithos'.
499
  * Specified a procedure to register a Synnefo component, its services and
500
    their resources in astakos and set the resources' default base quota
501
    limit. Removed resource definitions from settings.
502
  * Moved service and resource presentation data out of the respective db
503
    models into a separate file of UI constants.
504

    
505
* Converted the limit on pending applications from a setting to a quotable
506
  resource. Converted the related user setting to a user-specific base quota
507
  limit. Deprecated model UserSetting; removed setting
508
  ASTAKOS_PENDING_APPLICATION_LIMIT.
509

    
510
* Changes in locking strategy:
511

    
512
  * Lock only project's chain for all project operations; lock user before
513
    syncing to quotaholder.
514
  * When locking multiple rows (e.g. users or holdings) include an ORDER BY
515
    clause in the query to impose ordering on locking.
516

    
517
* Changes in views:
518

    
519
  * Replaced custom transaction context with a simple decorator for managing
520
    transactions and a context 'ExceptionHandler', which logs and suppresses
521
    exceptions
522

    
523
* Added fine grain user auth provider's policies.
524

    
525
  * Administrator can override default auth provider policies to a specific
526
    user or group of users.
527
  * Optionally a user can be assigned to a list of groups, based on the
528
    authentication method he choosed to signup.
529

    
530
* Removed explicit handling of SMTP errors on each email delivery. Exceptions
531
  are now propagated to base django exception handler.
532

    
533
* Email used in html/email tempaltes which prompt user to contact for service
534
  support prompts is now defined in ``CONTACT_EMAIL`` setting introduced in
535
  snf-common settings.
536

    
537
* Improvements in user activation flow
538

    
539
  * User moderation now takes place after the user has verified his email
540
    address.
541
  * User model enriched with additional user state fields
542
  * Split activation email from moderation process. Administrator is required
543
    to moderate user explicitly using the `user-modify --accept` or
544
    `user-modify --reject` commands.
545
  * Improved logging throught out user activation procedures.
546

    
547
* Remove deprecated AstakosUser model fields: `provider`,
548
  `third_party_identifier`
549

    
550
* Allow override of authentication provider messages using the following
551
  format in setting names: ``ASTAKOS_<PROVIDER_MODULE>_<MSGID>_MSG``
552

    
553
* Cloudbar automatically tries to identify the active service based on window
554
  location.
555

    
556
* Removing authentication provider view is now CSRF protected.
557

    
558
* New `API access` view, containing useful information to users on how to
559
  access available Synnefo services API's.
560

    
561
* Remove of ASTAKOS_*_EMAIL_SUBJECT settings. All email subjects are now
562
  defined in astakos.im.messages module. Overriding default values can be
563
  achieved using custom gettext files or using astakos messages settings::
564

    
565
	#change of greeting email subject
566
  	ASTAKOS_GREETING_EMAIL_SUBJECT_MESSAGE = 'Welcome to my cloud'
567

    
568
* Remove ``ASTAKOS_ACTIVATION_REDIRECT_URL`` and ``ASTAKOS_LOGIN_SUCCESS_URL``
569
  from astakos .conf file. Settings are dynamically computed based on
