Hi Cloudstack community,
I would like to propose two developments queries if possible (see below).
However, it seems if I want to submit them, I have to send a git diff (I can do
it if need be).
Is it the good way to do it or I have to follow a specific process ?
In my mind, I thought that first we have to propose (to be sure that nobody
done it or the community is ok),
and then if everything goes fine, to do and send it.
Thanks in advance,
Have a good day,
Best regards,
Nicolas Foata
1) VM instantiation : network information for VM
Goal: Sending network information to a new VM instance
Abstract/suggestion:
While a VM is instantiated, CloudStack could also send the following
information if need be :
- the instance name (CS uuid)
- the display name
- VM tags
- network information (IPv4, IPv6, netmask, routing, gateway, mac address, etc.)
just if we activate some global settings such as :
- vm.instance.boot.network.required (true/false)
- vm.instance.boot.vmname (true/false)
- vm.instance.boot.uuid (true/false)
- vm.instance.boot.tags (true/false)
Applications:
- A VM could discover its network and dialog with physical and virtual
machines, etc.
- A VM do not need a virtual router
- According of this type of information (tags, names, ...) , management servers
could be able to configure and deploy correctly VMs.
2) VM instantiation : specific information for hypervisors
Goal : Sending specific information for the hypervisor to well instantiate a VM
Abstract/suggestion:
While a VM is instantiated, Cloudstack could send and add furthermore data for
the hypervisor
coming from a new field such as 'Other options/Other configuration' for example
in the 'Compute offering' screen.
Thus, each hypervisor could decide whether it want to process the data and how
or to do not take it into account.
With a such input, Cloudstack will be able to use the specificity and the full
power of each hypervisor.
Applications:
1) On XCP, it will be possible to branch some pci straightforwardly (via pci
passthrough)
2) To use the more efficiently the min, max memories (static and/or dynamic)
Please feel free to modify the text if you to find better and sexy application
examples
with this two kinds of features and of course to correct mistakes.
