Hi Vanson,

Thanks for reporting this. This has been a known issue causing problems when updating IaaS parameters. A work-around would be to redeploy the cartridge definition which forces it to re-build. I haven't tested it though. Your solution also works, but were you able to look into to the performance overhead of re-building every time?


Akila,

No I haven't had a chance to look at the performance overhead, but yes, the suggested diffs are inefficient. Alternatively, for only the partition update case, we could optimize each Iaas's partition validate routines to only call buidIaas() once after all the properties have been updated.

For Example, the revised function for the openstack IAAS is attached.

Currently only the partition validate routines make use of buildIaas:

https://github.com/apache/stratos/search?utf8=✓&q=buildIaas

I'll try updating the cartridge, but I have a hard time see how that works for partition definitions since it would execute the same codeflow below. Only the validate() function below attempts to parse the partition's zone property and propagate it into the IaasProvider definition.

Besides the cartridge update workaround,  do you have any suggestions for other 
ways we could fix this.

    Stratos developers,

    I found an issue where defining an availability "zone" property in a 
partition has no affect on controlling the placement of a VM
    launched under openstack.

    The code which builds the template (iaas.initialize) used by jclouds is 
executed only once before stratos appends the availability
    zone properties to the iaas datastructure.

    The problem is in the buildIaas() call shown below:

    The issue also exists in the cloudstack, ec2, gce and docker variants of 
this function.

            @Override
                public IaasProvider validate(Partition partition, Properties

buidIaas() calls getIaas() under the covers and only initializes the compute template the first time it is called. buildIaas() is called a second time after the availability_zone property is set, and then a third/fourth time in
            updateOtherProperties().

            As show below,   getIaas() only calls iaas.initilize() the first 
time it's called.

                public class CloudControllerServiceUtil {

                ...
                    public static Iaas buildIaas(IaasProvider iaasProvider) 
throws InvalidIaasProviderException {
                        return iaasProvider.getIaas();
                    }
                ....

                public class IaasProvider implements Serializable {
                ....
                    public Iaas getIaas() {
                        if (iaas == null) {
                            synchronized (IaasProvider.this) {
                                if (iaas == null) {
                                    try {
                                        iaas = 
CloudControllerUtil.createIaasInstance(this);
                                        iaas.initialize();
                                    } catch (InvalidIaasProviderException e) {
                                        throw new RuntimeException("Could not create 
IaaS instance", e);
                                    }
                                }
                            }
                        }
                        return iaas;
                    }
                ....

            I propose the attached diffs to define buildIaas() such that it 
forces the iaas datastructure to be reinitialized,  if this
            looks okay, I'll see about getting this pushed upstream.
            I've also validated this on my openstack setup.


            Regards,

            -Vanson
