Allow ip6 server search for non-admin
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/allow-ip6-search-for-non-admin
Add ip6 to the list of options that are allowed for
non-admins when listing servers.
Problem description
Filtering by IPv6 address is currently only allowed for admins, but
there is no reason to treat this differently than IPv4. It is also quite
surprising for a user to find that nova list --ip6 xxx will
list all servers.
Use Cases
A user will want to list servers based on their IPv6 address, just like they can already do based on IPv4.
Project Priority
None
Proposed change
Add a new API microversion for which the ip6 option will
no longer be filtered out from the server search for non-admins.
Alternatives
Treat the bug fix as a minor patch that will not require a new API microversion. However in the conversation about the fix (see References) there seemed to be consensus that a microversion is needed in order for a client to be able to tell whether filtering by IPv6 is available or not.
Data model impact
None
REST API impact
The new API is added as a microversion.
Request:
GET /servers?ip6=<regex>The request and response headers, body and possible codes are
unchanged from current behaviour. The ip6 option will no
longer be silently discarded for non-admins.
Security impact
None
Notifications impact
None
Other end user impact
python-novaclient will have to be updated so that it can request the
new microversion when the --ip6 option is used.
Performance Impact
None
Other deployer impact
None
Developer impact
None
