Scheduling support for Routed Networks
|
||||
======================================
|
||||
|
||||
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/routed-networks-scheduling
|
||||
|
||||
Neutron provides network segments support thanks to Routed Networks where you
|
||||
can create a port allocated to a specific segment. Unfortunately, Nova doesn't
|
||||
verify the segment at every instance operation, including those where you move
|
||||
an instance, which leads to inconsistencies.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Problem description
|
||||
===================
|
||||
|
||||
Although it's possible to create a Neutron port with a routed networks setup
|
||||
and boot an instance with this port, the network locality of the compute node
|
||||
associated with the instance won't be verified by the scheduler and could
|
||||
lead to a wrong scheduling decision. This is problematic when a move operation
|
||||
sends an instance to a compute node that isn't in the network segment that is
|
||||
related to the IP address that was allocated at boot time.
|
||||
|
||||
As a result of this gap, the only way to use routed networks in Nova currently
|
||||
is by creating a port having the ``ip_allocation`` value be ``deferred`` and
|
||||
making sure that all compute services are assigned to at least one network
|
||||
segment.
|
||||
|
||||
Use Cases
|
||||
---------
|
||||
|
||||
As an operator, I'd like to make sure that instances IP addresses can be
|
||||
correctly separated between the network segments I provided.
|
||||
|
||||
As an operator, I don't want to see instances going to compute services that
|
||||
aren't in network segments if the user asks for either a port or a routed
|
||||
network.
|
||||
|
||||
As a user, I'd like Nova to place my instance on the correct host according to
|
||||
the port or network I've requested for my instance, without having to
|
||||
specifically create a port with a ``ip_allocation=deferred`` value.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Proposed change
|
||||
===============
|
||||
|
||||
Once you `configure routed networks in Neutron`_, network segments are
|
||||
represented as Placement Resource Providers. Neutron will then ask Nova to
|
||||
create a Nova host aggregate for each segment and will add compute services
|
||||
that are mapped with respective segments into the related aggregates.
|
||||
Eventually, Nova will mirror those aggregates into Placement aggregates.
|
||||
|
||||
What we then need for Nova is to have a way for asking the Placement API to
|
||||
only get resource providers (i.e. compute nodes) that are in the aggregate
|
||||
related to the segments that are in the network passed by the user (or related
|
||||
to the port that is asked).
|
||||
|
||||
As Nova needs to find which segments are related and then which aggregates,
|
||||
we could just provide a new pre-filter that would look at it if some
|
||||
configuration option (say ``query_placement_for_routed_network_aggregates``)
|
||||
would be ``True``.
|
||||
|
||||
A pseudo-code for it would be :
|
||||
|
||||
.. code::
|
||||
|
||||
def support_routed_networks(ctxt, request_spec):
|
||||
if not CONF.query_placement_for_routed_network_aggregates:
|
||||
return False
|
||||
segment_ids = <get_all_segments_ids_from_network_or_port>
|
||||
for segment in segment_ids:
|
||||
agg_info = <get_provider_aggregates_from_segment_id>
|
||||
<append_agg_info_to_required_aggregates>
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
|
||||
As said below in the `Alternatives`_ section, we could have Neutron passing
|
||||
directly the aggregates, so this pre-filter could be deprecated once we
|
||||
do it.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatives
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
Instead of having a new pre-filter, we could provide a specific scheduler
|
||||
filter. This said, given we limit the number of allocation candidates returned
|
||||
by Placement, we could miss some good resource providers so the filter couldn't
|
||||
work.
|
||||
|
||||
Another alternative would be to have Neutron passing directly the needed
|
||||
aggregate to Nova instead of Nova asking Neutron for it, but that would mean
|
||||
that we should modify Neutron to return the Placement needed query in the
|
||||
``port.resource_request`` attribute.
|
||||
|
||||
Data model impact
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
|
||||
We may need to augment the ``RequestSpec`` object to be able to provide in its
|
||||
nested ``RequestLevelParams`` object attribute the specific aggregate.
|
||||
|
||||
REST API impact
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
None.
|
||||
|
||||
Security impact
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
|
||||
None.
|
||||
|
||||
Notifications impact
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
|
||||
None.
|
||||
|
||||
Other end user impact
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
None.
|
||||
|
||||
Performance Impact
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
There could be a performance impact if we would verify the segments for every
|
||||
instance in every cloud, but given we ask the operator to modify an option
|
||||
if they want to use routed networks, we don't really think this would be an
|
||||
issue.
|
||||
|
||||
Other deployer impact
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
A new configuration option would be::
|
||||
|
||||
cfg.BoolOpt("query_placement_for_routed_network_aggregates",
|
||||
default=False),
|
||||
|
||||
Developer impact
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
|
||||
None.
|
||||
|
||||
Upgrade impact
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
None.
