Zed Series Release Notes

21.3.0

New Features

• Added new nova::compute::libvirt::secret_ceph resource definition that can be used to create a libvirt secret of type ceph.

• Added new manage_libvirt_secret parameter defaulting to true in the nova::compute::rbd class.

21.2.0

New Features

• The new nova::migration::libvirt::manage_service parameter has been added.

Bug Fixes

• The nova::migration::libvirt class no longer reads the nova::compute::libvirt::manage_libvirt_services parameter to decide whether the class should/shouldn’t manage services. The new nova::migration::libvirt::manage_service parameter now controls that behavior.

21.1.0

New Features

• The nova::compute::libvirt::services class now installs the libvirt-damon package explicitly in CentOS and RHEL when modular libvirt daemons are not used. This is required in recent CentOS Stream 9 to use legacy libvirtd service and socket.

• The new nova::instance_name_template parameter has been added so that the [DEFAULT] instance_name_template option can be configured for not only nova-api but also the other nova services. The nova::api::instance_name_template parameter is still supported but is no loger recomemnded because it can cause incomplete configurations in case nova services are deployed in different nodes.

• The nova::compute::rbd class now installs the qemu-block-extra package in Ubuntu or Debian. The package_ensure parameter can be used to customize state of the package.

Bug Fixes

• The new parameters, nova::cron::archive_deleted_rows::ensure and nova::cron::purge_shadow_tables::ensure, have been added. These parameters control the corresponding cron jobs existence. When either of two classes included, they can be given ensure => absent to unwind existing cron jobs.

21.0.0

New Features

• The nova::wsgi::apache_api class and the nova::wsgi::apache_metadata class now support customizing request/response headers added by apache.

• The new nova::quota::count_usage_from_placement parameter has been added.

• Added parameters for advanced configuration of httpd access and error log destinations including piped logging and syslog (see mod_syslog). Note that mod_syslog requires Apache2 >= 2.5.0.

• The new nova::compute::libvirt::networks class has been added. This class can be used to disable the default libvirt network, which is not used in OpenStack deployments.

• The new nova::compute::libvirt::wait_soft_reboot_seconds parameter has been added.

• Add sysinfo_serial parameter to control a Serial number entry generation method. Defaults to $::os_service_default.

• The new nova::compute::libvirt::libvirtd class has been added.

• New parameters max_client_requests and admin_max_client_requests allow to configure corresponding settings for libvirt.

• The new nova::quota::recheck_quota parameter has been added.

• The new nova::compute::skip_hypervisor_version_check_on_lm parameter has been added.

• Now this module supports configuration of the virtlockd service.
