Details
-------
This release contains new features, new benchmark plugins, bug fixes,
various code and API improvements.
New Features & API changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Add the ability to specify versions for clients in benchmark scenarios
You can call self.clients("glance", "2") and get any client for
specific version.
* Add API for tempest uninstall
$ rally-manage tempest uninstall
# removes fully tempest for active deployment
* Add a --uuids-only option to rally task list
$ rally task list --uuids-only # returns list with only task uuids
* Adds endpoint to --fromenv deployment creation
$ rally deployment create --fromenv
# recognizes standard OS_ENDPOINT environment variable
* Configure SSL per deployment
Now SSL information is deployment specific not Rally specific and
rally.conf option is deprecated
Like in this sample
https://github.com/openstack/rally/blob/14d0b5ba0c75ececfdb6a6c121d9cf2810571f77/samples/deployments/existing.json#L11-L12
Specs
~~~~~
* [spec] Proposal for new task input file format
This spec describes new task input format that will allow us to generate
multi scenario load which is crucial for HA and more real life testing:
https://github.com/openstack/rally/blob/master/doc/specs/in-progress/new_rally_input_task_format.rst
Plugins
~~~~~~~
* **Benchmark Scenario Runners**:
* Add a maximum concurrency option to rps runner
To avoid running to heavy load you can set 'concurrency' to configuration
and in case if cloud is not able to process all requests it won't start
more parallel requests then 'concurrency' value.
* **Benchmark Scenarios**:
[new] CeilometerAlarms.create_alarm_and_get_history
[new] KeystoneBasic.get_entities
[new] EC2Servers.boot_server
[new] KeystoneBasic.create_and_delete_service
[new] MuranoEnvironments.list_environments
[new] MuranoEnvironments.create_and_delete_environment
[new] NovaServers.suspend_and_resume_server
[new] NovaServers.pause_and_unpause_server
[new] NovaServers.boot_and_rebuild_server
[new] KeystoneBasic.create_and_list_services
[new] HeatStacks.list_stacks_and_events
[improved] VMTask.boot_runcommand_delete
restore ability to use fixed IP and floating IP to connect to VM
via ssh
[fix] NovaServers.boot_server_attach_created_volume_and_live_migrate
Kwargs in nova scenario were wrongly passed
* **Benchmark SLA**:
* [new] aborted_on_sla
This is internal SLA criteria, that is added if task was aborted
* [new] something_went_wrong
This is internal SLA criteria, that is added if something went wrong,
context failed to create or runner raised some exceptions
Bug fixes
~~~~~~~~~
**14 bugs were fixed, the most critical are**:
* Set default task uuid to running task. Before it was set only after
task was fully finished.
* The "rally task results" command showed a disorienting "task not found"
message for a task that is currently running.
* Rally didn't know how to reconnect to OpenStack in case if token
expired.
Documentation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* New tutorial **task templates**
