Scheduler Filters

The following extra specs are specific to various in-tree scheduler filters.

aggregate_instance_extra_specs

The following extra specs are used to specify metadata that must be present on the aggregate of a host. If this metadata is not present or does not match the expected value, the aggregate and all hosts within in will be rejected.

Requires the AggregateInstanceExtraSpecsFilter scheduler filter.

aggregate_instance_extra_specs:{key}
Type

str

Specify metadata that must be present on the aggregate of a host. If this metadata is not present, the host will be rejected. Requires the AggregateInstanceExtraSpecsFilter scheduler filter.

The value can be one of the following:

  • = (equal to or greater than as a number; same as vcpus case)

  • == (equal to as a number)

  • != (not equal to as a number)

  • >= (greater than or equal to as a number)

  • <= (less than or equal to as a number)

  • s== (equal to as a string)

  • s!= (not equal to as a string)

  • s>= (greater than or equal to as a string)

  • s> (greater than as a string)

  • s<= (less than or equal to as a string)

  • s< (less than as a string)

  • <in> (substring)

  • <all-in> (all elements contained in collection)

  • <or> (find one of these)

  • A specific value, e.g. true, 123, testing

capabilities

The following extra specs are used to specify a host capability that must be provided by the host compute service. If this capability is not present or does not match the expected value, the host will be rejected.

Requires the ComputeCapabilitiesFilter scheduler filter.

All extra specs expect similar types of values:

  • = (equal to or greater than as a number; same as vcpus case)

  • == (equal to as a number)

  • != (not equal to as a number)

  • >= (greater than or equal to as a number)

  • <= (less than or equal to as a number)

  • s== (equal to as a string)

  • s!= (not equal to as a string)

  • s>= (greater than or equal to as a string)

  • s> (greater than as a string)

  • s<= (less than or equal to as a string)

  • s< (less than as a string)

  • <in> (substring)

  • <all-in> (all elements contained in collection)

  • <or> (find one of these)

  • A specific value, e.g. true, 123, testing

Examples are: >= 5, s== 2.1.0, <in> gcc, <all-in> aes mmx, and <or> fpu <or> gpu

Note

Not all operators will apply to all types of values. For example, the == operator should not be used for a string value - use s== instead.

Virt driver

The following extra specs are used as hints to configure internals of a instance, from the bus used for paravirtualized devices to the amount of a physical device to passthrough to the instance. Most of these are virt driver-specific.

quota

The following extra specs are used to configure quotas for various paravirtualized devices. Different quotas are supported by different virt drivers, as noted below.

quota:cpu_limit
Type

int

Min

0

The upper limit for CPU allocation in MHz. The utilization of an instance will not exceed this limit, even if there are available resources. This is typically used to ensure a consistent performance of instances independent of available resources.The value 0 indicates that CPU usage is not limited.Only supported by the VMWare virt driver.

quota:cpu_reservation
Type

int

The guaranteed minimum CPU reservation in MHz. This means the specified amount of CPU that will be guaranteed for the instance. Only supported by the VMWare virt driver.

quota:cpu_shares_level
