------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
> Make Virtual Router to aggregate execution of commands

> Key: CLOUDSTACK-6047
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-6047
> Project: CloudStack
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Security Level: Public(Anyone can view this level - this is the

> Fix For: 4.4.0

> Currently VR has an scalability issue during the large deployment. Everytime
> when VR need to be re-create or reboot, CloudStack would send lots of
> programming commands to it. VR would treat them as individual commands then
> execute them. In large deployment, it would take tens of minutes or even
> hours to complete all the necessary updates, like setup DHCP and programming
> firewall.
> For example, in the past, everytime we setup DHCP in VR, we need to restart
> dnsmasq service for every programming, which is very time consuming. Though
> we've introduced a way to reload without restart dnsmasq, but the same issue
> existed with apache2 and other services as well. And every SSH to VR would
> also time consuming.
> The new approach of reprogramming VR, would help greatly on this issue, and
> hopefully great reduce the VR programming time. It would introduce a
> mechanism to "aggregate" the commands to be executed, and do it in one batch
> inside VR. And restart the related services(if necesary) only after the whole
> batch is completed. The configuration would be transfer to VR in one piece as
> well, eliminate any unnecessary ssh.
> We would expect in such scenario, most configuration would only be text
> update and involve no more time consuming operations. We would leave every
> possible time consuming operation to the end of execution of aggregated
> commands.
