Pike Series Release Notes¶
1.4.1¶
New Features¶
Existing workload_balance strategy based on the VM workloads of CPU. This feature improves the strategy. By the input parameter “metrics”, it makes decision to migrate a VM base on CPU or memory utilisation.
1.4.0¶
New Features¶
Add notifications related to Action object.
Added the functionality to filter out instances which have metadata field ‘optimize’ set to False. For now, this is only available for the basic_consolidation strategy (if “check_optimize_metadata” configuration option is enabled).
Added binding between apscheduler job and Watcher decision engine service. It will allow to provide HA support in the future.
Enhancement of vm_workload_consolidation strategy by using ‘memory.resident’ metric in place of ‘memory.usage’, as memory.usage shows the memory usage inside guest-os and memory.resident represents volume of RAM used by instance on host machine.
There is new ability to create Watcher continuous audits with cron interval. It means you may use, for example, optional argument ‘–interval “*/5 * * * *”’ to launch audit every 5 minutes. These jobs are executed on a best effort basis and therefore, we recommend you to use a minimal cron interval of at least one minute.
Add description property for dynamic action. Admin can see detail information of any specify action.
Added Gnocchi support as data source for metrics. Administrator can change data source for each strategy using config file.
Added using of JSONSchema instead of voluptuous to validate Actions.
Added strategy to identify and migrate a Noisy Neighbour - a low priority VM that negatively affects performance of a high priority VM by over utilising Last Level Cache.
Add notifications related to Service object.
Added volume migrate action
1.3.0¶
New Features¶
Add action for compute node power on/off
Added cinder cluster data model
1.1.0¶
New Features¶
Added SUSPENDED audit state
