Adding more protection parameters:retention period¶
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/karbor/+spec/adding-more-protection-parameters-retention-period
Problem description¶
Karbor supports the scheduled operation according the protection plan. As time goes on, checkpoints are getting more and more. For example, if we create a scheduled plan: protect resource every day, there are 7 checkpoints one week, and about 30 checkpoints one month, etc. If we don’t clean them manually, a lot of checkpoint takes up our valuable storage resources.
In this specification we will introduce protection parameters:retention period, max backup number. If the create time of the checkpoint is older than retention period, we need to delete it, and if the checkpoints number is more than max backup number, we need to delete the oldest one.
Use Cases¶
Users create a scheduledoperation, in addition to setting the scheduling period and plan, he can also set the retention period or (and) checkpoint maximum number.
Proposed change¶
Adding more protection parameters:retention period:¶
Add protection parameters in scheduledoperation: max_backups and retention_duration. These parameters are used to control the number of checkpoints to prevent excessive storage of resources due to excessive checkpoints.
1. Delete checkpoints in the auto-scheduled mode: Get max_backups and retention_duration from the scheduledoperation.
When creating the checkpoint is complete, get all the available checkpoints in the plan and sort them according to created_at by desc, delete the older checkpoints that exceeds the max_backups; and delete the checkpoints that their created_at are older than the retention_duration.

Note 1: max_backups: For example, “max_backups=3” indicates maximum retention for 3 backups. For example, “max_backups=10” indicates maximum retention for 10 backups.
Note 2: retention_duration’s unit is day. For example, “retention_duration=10” indicates maximum retention for 10 days. For example, “retention_duration=14” indicates maximum retention for 2 weeks.
