===================
Nova Compute Driver
===================
Blueprint: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/octavia/+spec/nova-compute-driver
Octavia needs to interact with nova for creation of VMs for this version. This
spec will flesh out all the methods described in the compute-driver-interface
with nova VM specific commands.
Problem description
===================
This spec details operations for creating, updating, and modifying amphora that
will hold the actual load balancer. It will utilize the nova client python api
version 3 for the nova specific requests and commands.
Proposed change
===============
Expose nova operations
- Build: Will need to build a virtual machine according to configuration
parameters
- Will leverage the nova client ServerManager method "create" to build a
server
- Get: Will need to retrieve details of the virtual machine from nova
- Will leverage the nova client ServerManager method "get" to retrieve a
server, and return an amphora object
- Delete: Will need to remove a virtual machine
- Will leverage the nova client ServerManager method "delete" for removal of
server
- Status: Will need to retrieve the status of the virtual machine
- Will leverage the aforementioned get call to retrieve status of the server
