Re: [openstack-dev] [Octavia] Using Nova Scheduling Affinity and AntiAffinity

Re: [openstack-dev] [Octavia] Using Nova Scheduling Affinity and AntiAffinity
We need to be careful. I believe that a user can use these filters to keep requesting VMs in the case of nova to get to the size of your cloud. Also given that nova now has ServerGroups let's not make a quick decision on using something that is being replaced with something better. I suggest we investigated ServerGroups a little more before we discard it. The operator should really decide how he/she wants Anti-affinity by setting the right filters in nova.

Re: [openstack-dev] [Octavia] Using Nova Scheduling Affinity and AntiAffinity
Hello all, TL;DR Using the SameHostFilter and DifferentHostFilter will work functionally for what Octavia needs for colocation, apolocation, and HA anti-affinity. There are a couple topics that need discussed: How should VMs be allocated per host when evaluating colocation, if each load balancer minimally has 2 VMs? (Active-Active or Active-Passive) How would a spare node pool handle affinity (i.e. will every host have a separate spare node pool)? Brandon and I spent a little time white-boarding our thoughts on this affinity/anti-affinity problem. Basically we came up with a couple tables we'll need in the DB, and one table representing information retrieved from nova, as follows: Note: The tables were written with fixed width text. Looks really bad in HTML. LB Table +---+--+---+ | LB_ID | colocate | apolocate | +---+--+---+ | 1 | | | +---+--+---+ | 2 | | 1 | +---+--+---+ | 3 |2 | | +---+--+---+ | 4 |1 | 3 | +---+--+---+ DB Association Table +---+---+-+ | LB_ID | VM_ID | HOST_ID | +---+---+-+ | 1 | A |I| +---+---+-+ | 1 | B |II | +---+---+-+ | 2 | C | III | +---+---+-+ | 2 | D |IV | +---+---+-+ | 3 | E | III | +---+---+-+ | 3 | F |IV | +---+---+-+ | 4 | G |I| +---+---+-+ | 4 | H |II | +---+---+-+ Nova Information Table +---++-+-+ | VM_ID | SameHostFilter | DifferentHostFilter | HOST_ID | +---++-+-+ | A || |I| +---++-+-+ | B || A |II | +---++-+-+ | C || A B | III | +---++-+-+ | D ||A B C|IV | +---++-+-+ | E | C D | | III | +---++-+-+ | F | C D | E |IV | +---++-+-+ | G | A B | E F |I| +---++-+-+ | H | A B |E F G|II | +---++-+-+ The first thing we discussed was an Active-Active setup. Above you can see I enforce that the first VM will not be on the same host as the second. In the first table, I've given some ideas about what LB will colocate/apolocate with another, and configured them in the association table appropriately. Can you see any configuration combination we might have over-looked? As for scaling, we considered adding of VMs in an Active-Active setup to be just as trivial as the initial creation. Just include another VM id in the list for DifferentHostFilter and it'll guarantee a different host assignment. The second discussion was for Active-Passive, and we decided it would be very similar to Active-Active in accordance to appending to a list for filtering. For each required Active node created for scaling, standing up another Passive node would happen with just another VM id specification in the filter. This keeps all the Active/Passive on different hosts. One could just as easily write some logic to keep all the Passives on one Host and all the Actives on a different, though this would potentially cause other problems. One thing that just popped into my head would be scaling on different hosts to different degrees. Example: I already have 2 VMs, 1 active and 1 passive each (so 4 VMs total right now). My scaling solution could call for another 4 VMs to be stood up in the same fashion, but the hosts matching up like the following table: +---+---+-++ | LB_ID | VM_ID | HOST_ID | ACTIVE | +---+---+-++ | 1 | A |I|1 | +---+---+-++ | 1 | B |II |0 | +---+---+-++ | 2 | C | III |1 | +---+---+-++ | 2 | D |IV |0 | +---+---+-++ | 1 | E |I|1 | +---+---+-++ | 1 | F |II |0 | +---+---+-++ | 2 | G | III |1 | +---+---+-++ | 2 | H |IV |0 |
Re: [openstack-dev] [Octavia] Using Nova Scheduling Affinity and AntiAffinity
We may have to put quotas or something built into Octavia. Since we are keeping the concept of tenant in Octavia, this may as well be done. That probably doesn't totally solve the problem though. ServerGroups will be great to use for keeping VMs off the same host for HA. It will be tough to use them for colocation and apolocation of loadbalancers, though not impossible from my shallow research of it. P.S. I feel like I wrote this before so sorry if this is a duplicate, but I must be losing my mind. Thanks, Brandon On Thu, 2014-08-28 at 17:36 -0400, Susanne Balle wrote: We need to be careful.
