Great A'Tuin

the turtle comes, swimming slowly through the interstellar gulf, hydrogen frost on his ponderous limbs, his huge and ancient shell pocked with meteor craters. Through sea-sized eyes that are crusted with rheum and asteroid dust He stares fixedly at the Destination.

Terry Pratchett - The Colour of Magic

OpenNebula 4.14

● Great A'Tuin

● Last one before 5.0

● Big Release (lots of changes)

● Compatibility Guide

4

Disk and image snapshotting

● Disk snapshots are a new entity

● Create, Revert, Delete○ running, poweroff, suspended

● Subject to Quotas

● Monitor snapshot size

5

Disk and image snapshotting

● Can be exported to a new image○ $ onevm disk-saveas

○ STATES: running, poweroff, suspended○ --deferred is deprecated

● Persistent images can have snapshots○ operations: flatten, revert, delete

● 3 implementations: Ceph, FS (plain files) and Qcow2,

6

Disk Showback

● OpenNebula <= 4.12○ CPU_COST○ MEMORY_COST

● New DISK_COST is introduced

● It's a MB/hour metric

● Defined in the template

7

Recovery mechanisms for VMs

● OpenNebula is much more recoverable

● Any state can now be recovered○ --success

○ --failure

○ --retry

○ --interactive

● FAILED state is now:BOOT_FAILURE, PROLOG_MIGRATE_POWEROFF_FAILURE, etc...

8

GPU Devices

● GPUs discovered by the monitorization probes

● Can be added to a template

● Passthrough to the VM

● Subject to Quotas

9

Sunstone Rewrite

Cloning of running VMs

Provides the ability to clone a VM along with its reference disks and networks.

$ onevm save <vmid> <name>

Clones the VM's source Template,

replacing the disks with live snapshots

of the current disks. The VM capacity and

NICs are also preserved

States: POWEROFF

13

Import of Existing VMs

● KVM, Xen, AWS, Azure and vCenter● The monitoring probes detect wilds● wild VMs can be imported● The life-cycle can be managed

Limitations:● Delete --recreate● Undeploy (and Undeploy --hard)● Migrate (and Migrate --live)● Stop

14

Migration of VMs datastores

The System datastore of a VM can be migrated.

$ onevm migrate <range|vmid_list>

<hostid> [<datastoreid>]

15

Cold Attach / Detach of NICs and DISKS

These operations can now be executed in the POWEROFF state.

$ onevm disk-attach <vmid>

Attaches a disk to a running VM. When

using --file add only one

DISK instance.

States: RUNNING, POWEROFF

valid options: file, image, target,

cache, prefix

16

Disk Resize

Possibility to resize the size of a VM disk when instantiating the VM.

The Context packages resize the Guest when starting.

17

The Road to 5.0

● Evolution result after 8 years + ~80 releases.

● 5.x series goal○ Keep project vision and KISS adherence ○ Improve usability and refine current feature set○ As much as possible, don’t break compatibility○ Less used components to the add-on catalog

Some Highlights...

● User Interface○ Improve input fields & views in Sunstone

● Virtual Network:○ Security groups○ Virtual routers

● Storage○ Ceph as system Datastore & tuning○ Integrated Marketplace*○ Better LVM backend and new iSCSI

● Virtualization○ Make possible more operations across VM states○ Guest-Context improvements

* Discussed in this talk

● Share as less as possible● Tolerate big latencies● Reduce coupling by sharing just: User & Auth information● Federation of identities

How can we share zone contents?

Federation: Marketplace Demonstration● Totally integrated, multiple uses cases, e.g.

○ Setup market for some groups○ Set access control to appliances

● 5.0 shipped with two backends○ Web server, using http transport to move images○ S3 object store through Ceph S3 gateway○ Public OpenNebula marketplace (client-only)

● Follows OpenNebula architecture:○ Datastore specific operations○ MarketPlace specific drivers

● Future plans to add more external drivers
