Flatten Cluster and ClusterTemplate Attributes
Launchpad blueprint:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/magnum/+spec/flatten-attributes
Including all user-specified attributes in Clusters and ClusterTemplates will increase flexibility for users during ClusterTemplate definition and Cluster creation.
Note that this spec only deals with changes to magnum's data model, not API changes. Please see the NodeGroup spec for these details:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/magnum/+spec/nodegroups
Problem Description
Clusters rely on attributes from both the magnum Cluster and ClusterTemplate resources, but the line between attributes that belong in one or the other is not well-defined. Most attributes make sense where they are, but there will be times that users will want to capture different attributes in a ClusterTemplate or specify them during cluster creation. The current system has little flexibility, with only keypairs able to exist in either.
Use Cases
- Users that want to specify attributes in ClusterTemplates that they can't right now, such as node count.
- Users that want to specify/override attributes when creating a Cluster that they can't right now, since attributes that come from ClusterTemplates are currently unchangeable.
Proposed Change
Give both Cluster and ClusterTemplate a copy of all user-specifed attributes.
The python object for ClusterTemplate will work much the same, just with more attributes available.
The python object for Cluster will no longer (and should not) need to use attributes from its ClusterTemplate, since it will have all the attributes it needs and it is possible that some attributes will have been overridden in the cluster-create request.
For example, cluster.cluster_template.fixed_network will become cluster.fixed_network.
Alternatives
The shared fields can be added to the existing Cluster and ClusterTemplate tables. This achieves the same effect, but brings with it the burden of maintaining two sets of the same fields in different tables.
Data Model Impact
A new database table, ClusterAttributes, will be added. The shared fields will be moved to this table.
A foreign key to ClusterAttributes will be added to the Cluster and ClusterTemplate tables. The relationship between Cluster and ClusterAttributes is one-to-one. The same is true between ClusterTemplate and ClusterAttributes. That is, Clusters and ClusterTemplates have their own separate copy of cluster attributes.
Database tables before, with fields that will be shared marked:
cluster:
Attribute Shared? id uuid project_id user_id name stack_id status status_reason api_address trust_id trustee_username trustee_user_id trustee_password coe_version container_version ca_cert_ref magnum_cert_ref cluster_template_id node_addresses master_addresses
create_timeout Yes discovery_url Yes node_count Yes master_count Yes keypair Yes cluster_template:

REST API Impact
None
Security Impact
None identified
Notifications Impact
None
Other End-user Impact
None
Performance Impact
Negligible. Two-table joins should have minimal performance impact. There may be cases where only the Cluster/ClusterTemplate or ClusterAttributes table needs to be queried/written that will further offset the small performance impact or even improve performance since these operations will be dealing with narrower tables.
Other Deployer Impact
This change will require a database migration.
Developer Impact
Developers will not have to remember which attributes come from ClusterTemplate because they will all be available in Cluster.
Implementation
Assignee(s)
Spyros Trigazis (strigazi)
Work Items
- Database migration to add ClusterAttributes table.
- Updates to python code.
Dependencies
None
Testing
Unit tests will need to be updated, but functional tests will still pass as this is an internal change.
Documentation Impact
None for this spec, as the changes are internal.
