Balazs Gibizer 89fe504abf Reserve DISK_GB resource for the image cache
If the nova compute image cache is on the same disk as the instance
directory then the images in the cache will consume the same disk
resource as the nova instances which can lead to disk overallocation.

This patch adds a new config option
[workarounds]/reserve_disk_resource_for_image_cache . If it is set the
libvirt driver will reserve DISK_GB resources in placement for the
actual size of the image cache.

This is a low complexity solution with known limitations:
* Reservation is updated long after the image is downloaded
* This code allows the reservation to push the provider into negative
available resource if the reservation + allocations exceed the total
inventory.

OpenStack Nova

image

OpenStack Nova provides a cloud computing fabric controller, supporting a wide variety of compute technologies, including: libvirt (KVM, Xen, LXC and more), Hyper-V, VMware, XenServer, OpenStack Ironic and PowerVM.

Use the following resources to learn more.

API

To learn how to use Nova's API, consult the documentation available online at:

For more information on OpenStack APIs, SDKs and CLIs in general, refer to:

Operators

To learn how to deploy and configure OpenStack Nova, consult the documentation available online at:

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:

Developers

For information on how to contribute to Nova, please see the contents of the CONTRIBUTING.rst.

Any new code must follow the development guidelines detailed in the HACKING.rst file, and pass all unit tests.

Further developer focused documentation is available at:

Other Information

During each Summit and Project Team Gathering, we agree on what the whole community wants to focus on for the upcoming release. The plans for nova can be found at:
