Scope Types

  • system

Return extended attributes for server.

This rule will control the visibility for a set of servers attributes:

  • OS-EXT-SRV-ATTR:host

  • OS-EXT-SRV-ATTR:instance_name

  • OS-EXT-SRV-ATTR:reservation_id (since microversion 2.3)

  • OS-EXT-SRV-ATTR:launch_index (since microversion 2.3)

Microvision 2.75 added the above attributes in the PUT /servers/{server_id} and POST /servers/{server_id}/action (rebuild) API responses which are also controlled by this policy rule, like the GET /servers* APIs.

Microversion 2.90 made the OS-EXT-SRV-ATTR:hostname attribute available to all users, so this policy has no effect on that field for microversions 2.90 and greater. Controlling the visibility of this attribute for all microversions is therefore deprecated and will be removed in a future release.

  • GET /servers/detail

  • PUT /servers/{server_id}

  • POST /servers/{server_id}/action (rebuild)

Scope Types

  • system

  • project

Show a server with additional host status information.

This means host_status will be shown irrespective of status value. If showing only host_status UNKNOWN is desired, use the os_compute_api:servers:show:host_status:unknown-only policy rule.

Microvision 2.75 added the host_status attribute in the PUT /servers/{server_id} and POST /servers/{server_id}/action (rebuild) API responses which are also controlled by this policy rule, like the GET /servers* APIs.

os_compute_api:servers:show:host_status:unknown-only
Default

rule:system_admin_api

Operations

  • GET /servers/{server_id}

  • PUT /servers/{server_id}

  • POST /servers/{server_id}/action (rebuild)

Scope Types

  • system

  • project

Show a server with additional host status information, only if host status is UNKNOWN.

This policy rule will only be enforced when the os_compute_api:servers:show:host_status policy rule does not pass for the request. An example policy configuration could be where the os_compute_api:servers:show:host_status rule is set to allow admin-only and the os_compute_api:servers:show:host_status:unknown-only rule is set to allow everyone.

os_compute_api:servers:create:zero_disk_flavor
Default

rule:project_admin_api

Operations

  • POST /servers

Scope Types

  • system

  • project

This rule controls the compute API validation behavior of creating a server with a flavor that has 0 disk, indicating the server should be volume-backed.

For a flavor with disk=0, the root disk will be set to exactly the size of the image used to deploy the instance. However, in this case the filter_scheduler cannot select the compute host based on the virtual image size. Therefore, 0 should only be used for volume booted instances or for testing purposes.

WARNING: It is a potential security exposure to enable this policy rule if users can upload their own images since repeated attempts to create a disk=0 flavor instance with a large image can exhaust the local disk of the compute (or shared storage cluster). See bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1739646 for details.
