.. -*- mode: rst -*- ================================================ Control Plane API endpoints deployment via WSGI ================================================ In some projects, API services can be run: #. As a Python command that runs a web server (e.g. wsgiref or werkzeug). #. As a WSGI application hosted by performant web servers (e.g. Apache with mod_wsgi or Nginx with uWSGI). When a project provides a WSGI application the API service gains flexibility in terms of deployment, performance, configuration and scaling. Gerrit Topic ============ To facilitate tracking, commits related to this goal should use the gerrit topic:: goal-deploy-api-in-wsgi Completion Criteria =================== For all projects: #. Provide WSGI application script file(s) (e.g. to be used by web server). There shouldn't be any web server restriction and the application could be deploying to any web server that support WSGI applications. #. Switch devstack jobs to deploy control-plane API services under uwsgi with Apache acting as a front end proxy. uwsgi vs. mod_wsgi ------------------ When this effort was first approved, the push was to use ``mod_wsgi``. mod_wsgi has many issues when being used in devstack for development or testing. - services log to a very different location / format - start/stop/restart/status of services is now very different depending on if they are api services or workers - apache restarts trigger restarts of all API services, and take long enough that intermittent races can occur. - API servers still need dedicated ports for certain parts of their config. The effort was pushed forward because at the time no one signed up to do the ground work for the uwsgi transition in devstack. That work was done here - http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2017-April/115423.html with the intent that the ``mod_wsgi`` support is deleted from devstack in Queens.

Completion Artifacts: Freezer is already using wsgi to deploy the api service since Newton release. Freezer supports two ways of running dsvm gate job, apache2 (with mod_wsgi) or apache2 (with mod_proxy and uwsgi). The default way for running devstack is apache2 with mod_proxy and uwsgi. https://review.openstack.org/#/c/471080/ fuel ---- Planning Artifacts: Completion Artifacts: glance ------ Planning Artifacts: * `Glance Spec Lite `_ Completion Artifacts: .. note:: The Pike release notes for Glance state that the Glance project team does not recommend running Glance under the uWSGI configuration in production.
