--- 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 in resource request contained in a new image, it was possible to rebuild with an image that would violate this requirement `bug #1763766`_. 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. .. _`bug #1763766`: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1763766
