Topic
Updated OpenStack Orchestration packages that resolve various issues
are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 6.0
(Juno) for RHEL 7.
Description
Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform provides the facilities
for building a private or public infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS)
cloud running on commonly available physical hardware. This advisory
includes packages for:
- OpenStack Orchestration service
OpenStack Orchestration (heat) is a template-driven engine used to
specify and deploy configurations for Compute, Storage, and OpenStack
Networking. It can also be used to automate post-deployment actions,
which in turn allows automated provisioning of infrastructure, services,
and applications. Orchestration can also be integrated with Telemetry
alarms to implement auto-scaling for certain infrastructure resources.
With this update, openstack-heat is now re-based to upstream version
2014.2.2. This applies several fixes and enhancements, including:
- ResourceGroup now allows resource_def to be updated without replacing
the entire group.
- Updates of failed nested stacks will now succeed and properly create
the failed stacks.
- The AWS::Cloudwatch::Alarm resource now has default metric dimensions.
- Previously, the OS::Heat::ResourceGroup resource in a template
failed validation if configured with size "0". Since some template
authors use this mechanism to create optional parts of a template,
a size of zero no longer causes a validation failure. (BZ#1180216)
- Previously, OS::Heat::ResourceGroup resources would be replaced
entirely if the definition of the scaled unit was changed in any way
during an update. With this fix, all nested stack resources (including
OS::Heat::ResourceGroup) now run a stack update on the nested stack
in response to a change of definition in an update. Consequently,
each individual constituent resource of the nested stack is evaluated
separately to determine whether changes can be applied in-place or if
it needs to be replaced; the entire nested stack is not replaced en
masse. (BZ#1180210)
