Kashyap Chamarthy 9160fe5098 libvirt: Support native TLS for migration and disks over NBD
The encryption offered by Nova (via `live_migration_tunnelled`, i.e.
"tunnelling via libvirtd") today secures only two migration streams:
guest RAM and device state; but it does _not_ encrypt the NBD (Network
Block Device) transport—which is used to migrate disks that are on
non-shared storage setup (also called: "block migration").  Further, the
"tunnelling via libvirtd" has a huge performance penalty and latency,
because it burns more CPU and memory bandwidth due to increased number
of data copies on both source and destination hosts.

To solve this existing limitation, introduce a new config option
`live_migration_with_native_tls`, which will take advantage of "native
TLS" (i.e. TLS built into QEMU, and relevant support in libvirt).  The
native TLS transport will encrypt all migration streams, *including*
disks that are not on shared storage — all of this without incurring the
limitations of the "tunnelled via libvirtd" transport.

Closes-Bug: #1798796
Blueprint: support-qemu-native-tls-for-live-migration

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.
