Details

This release, as well as all previous ones, includes a lot of internal and external changes. Most important of them are listed below.

Warning

Release 0.1.2 is the last release with Python 2.6 support.

Deprecations

  • Class rally.common.objects.Endpoint was renamed to Credentials. Old class is kept for backward compatibility. Please, stop using the old class in your plugins.

    Warning

    dict key was changed too in user context from “endpoint” to “credential”

  • rally.task.utils: wait_is_ready(), wait_for(), wait_for_delete() deprecated you should use wait_for_status() instead.

Rally Verify

  • Added possibility to run Tempest tests listed in a file(–tests-file argument in verify start)
  • Added possibility to upload Tempest subunit stream logs into data base
  • Improvements in generating Tempest config file
  • Reworked subunit stream parser
  • Don’t install Tempest when rally verify [gen/show]config
  • Rally team tries to simplify usage of each our component. Now Rally verification has some kind of a context like in Tasks. Before launching each verification, Rally checks existence of required resources(networks, images, flavours, etc) in Tempest configuration file and pre-creates them. Do not worry, all these resources will not be forgotten and left, Rally will clean them after verification.

Rally Task

  • Add –html-static argument to rally task report which allows to generate HTML reports that doesn’t require Internet.
  • Rally supports different API versions now via api_versions context:
CinderVolumes.create_and_delete_volume:
  -
    args:
      size: 1
    runner:
      type: "constant"
      times: 2
      concurrency: 2
    context:
      users:
        tenants: 2
        users_per_tenant: 2
      api_versions:
        cinder:
          version: 2
          service_name: cinderv2

  • Move rally.osclients.Clients to plugin base

    Rally OSclients is pluggable now and it is very easy to extend OSClient for your cloud out of Rally tree.

  • Add ‘merge’ functionality to SLA

    All SLA plugins should implement merge() method now. In future this will be used for distributed load generation. Where SLA results from different runners will be merged together.

  • New optional_action_timer decorator

    Allows to make the methods that can be both atomic_action or regular method. Method changes behavior based on value in extra key “atomic_action”

Rally Certification

  • Fix Glance certification arguments
  • Add Neutron Quotas only if Neutron service is available
