Instance Reservation¶
Prerequisites¶
The following packages should be installed:
blazar
blazar-nova
python-blazarclient
1. Add hosts into the freepool¶
Add hosts into the Blazar freepool using the host-create command:
# Using the blazar CLI
blazar host-create compute-1
# Using the openstack CLI
openstack reservation host create compute-1
Check hosts in the freepool:
# Using the blazar CLI
blazar host-list
# Using the openstack CLI
openstack reservation host list
Result:
+----+---------------------+-------+-----------+----------+
| id | hypervisor_hostname | vcpus | memory_mb | local_gb |
+----+---------------------+-------+-----------+----------+
| 1 | compute-1 | 2 | 3951 | 38 |
+----+---------------------+-------+-----------+----------+
2. Create a lease¶
Create a lease (instance reservation) using lease-create command:
# Using the blazar CLI
blazar lease-create --reservation resource_type=virtual:instance,vcpus=1,memory_mb=1024,disk_gb=20,amount=1 --start-date "2020-07-24 20:00" --end-date "2020-08-09 21:00" lease-1
# Using the openstack CLI
openstack reservation lease create --reservation resource_type=virtual:instance,vcpus=1,memory_mb=1024,disk_gb=20,amount=1 --start-date "2020-07-24 20:00" --end-date "2020-08-09 21:00" lease-1

blazar lease-list
# Using the openstack CLI
openstack reservation lease list

3. Use the leased resources¶
While the reservation you created is active you can see and use the flavor of your reservation.
