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.
This update addresses the following issues:
- Previously, the default client plugin for OS::Nova::FloatingIP resource
type was not defined. As a result, it failed to delete stacks where other
resources had already been removed.
With this update, the default client plugin is now specified correctly and
as a result, you can delete OS::Nova::FloatingIP resource even when the
server to which it was attached has been deleted externally to the
OpenStack Orchestration service. (BZ1229365)
- Previously, the string produced by an OS::Heat::RandomString resource
was stored in a database column with a maximum length of 255. As a result,
the length of an OS::Heat::RandomString could not be greater than 255 in
practice.
With this update, the string length is now updated to 512 in the OpenStack
Orchestration database. As a result, random strings can now be created up
to the documented maximum length of 512. (BZ1217087)
- Previously, OpenStack Orchestration service log files were only rotated
weekly in the default logrotate configuration, resulting in excessively
large log files to potentially fill up available storage.
With this update, log files larger than 10 megabytes are compressed and
rotated. As a result, log files no longer take up loads of disk
space. (BZ1212480)
- Previously, the code to validate the block_device_mapping property of
OS::Nova::Server resource could not distinguish between an unspecified
value in the template and values that were specified using the get_attr
intrinsic function. As a result, if the volume_id or snapshot_id of an
entry in the block_device_mapping parameter in the OS::Nova::Server was
specified using the get_attr intrinsic function, validation of the
template would fail claiming that one or other needs to be specified.
With this update, the validation code can now distinguish between an
unspecified value and a value obtained using the get_attr function. As a
result, you can now successfully create a stack in which the volume_id of
an OS::Nova::Server block_device_mapping entry is supplied using the
get_attr intrinsic function. (BZ1229336)
