Upgrading to Newton from Mitaka¶
The Newton release of Designate adds two new services designate-producer
,
designate-worker
. These replace designate-zone-manager
and
designate-pool-manager
, respectively. In a future cycle, the old services
will be removed, and the new ones will be enabled by default. In Newton,
you must enable the new services yourself. Designate will work with both
configurations, as there is no breaking change from Mitaka.
Breaking Changes¶
The default port the designate-agent
service listens on has changed
from 53 to 5358. This matches the port we have always used in the sample
configuration, and the port used in the agent backend class.
Upgrading Code and Enabling Services¶
To enable the new services with minimal impact, the following process can be followed. This assumes you have all Mitaka Designate services running.
Deploy the Newton code.
Add the
[service:worker]
and[service:producer]
sections to your configuration file. Ensureenabled
andnotify
in the worker section areTrue
.[service:worker] enabled = True #workers = None #threads = 1000 #threshold_percentage = 100 #poll_timeout = 30 #poll_retry_interval = 15 #poll_max_retries = 10 #poll_delay = 5 notify = True [service:producer] #workers = None #threads = 1000 # Can be any/all of: periodic_exists, delayed_notify, worker_periodic_recovery # None => All tasks enabled #enabled_tasks = None [producer_task:domain_purge] #interval = 3600 # 1h #batch_size = 100 #time_threshold = 604800 # 7 days [producer_task:delayed_notify] #interval = 5 [producer_task:worker_periodic_recovery] #interval = 120
Stop the
designate-pool-manager
anddesignate-zone-manager
processes.Restart the
designate-api
,designate-central
anddesignate-mdns
services.Start the
designate-producer
anddesignate-worker
services.
New Features¶
designate-mdns
,designate-agent
anddesignate-api
can now bind to multiple host:port pairs via the new “listen” configuration arguments for each service.New pool scheduler “attribute” filter for scheduling zones across pools. This can be enabled in the
[service:central]
section of the config by addingattribute
to the list of values in thefilters
option.An experimental agent backend to support TinyDNS, the DNS resolver from the djbdns tools.
An experimental agent backend to support Knot DNS 2
A new recordset api
/v2/recordsets
is exposed, docs can be found here.Designate services now report running status. The information is exposed via api.
The quotas API from the admin API has been ported to /v2 with some changes and is now stable.
