--- fixes: - | An instance can be rebuilt in-place with the original image or a new image. Instance resource usage cannot be altered during a rebuild. Previously Nova would have ignored the NUMA topology of the new image continuing to use the NUMA topology of the existing instance until a move operation was performed. As Nova did not explicitly guard against inadvertent changes to resource requests contained in a new image, it was possible to rebuild with an image that would violate this requirement; see `bug #1763766`_ for details. This resulted in an inconsistent state as the instance that was running did not match the instance that was requested. Nova now explicitly checks if a rebuild would alter the requested NUMA topology of an instance and rejects the rebuild if so. .. _`bug #1763766`: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1763766 - | With the changes introduced to address `bug #1763766`_, Nova now guards against NUMA constraint changes on rebuild. As a result the ``NUMATopologyFilter`` is no longer required to run on rebuild since we already know the topology will not change and therefore the existing resource claim is still valid. As such it is now possible to do an in-place rebuild of an instance with a NUMA topology even if the image changes provided the new image does not alter the topology which addresses `bug #1804502`_. .. _`bug #1804502`: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1804502
