Re: [Openstack-operators] [nova] Do you use os-instance-usage-audit-log?

2017-01-13 Thread Tomáš Vondra
Hi Matt, I've looked at my Nova config and yes, I have it on. We do billing using Ceilometer data and I think compute.instance.exists is consumed as well. The Ceilometer event retention is set to 6 months and the database size is in single gigabytes. Nova database table task_log only contains the

Re: [Openstack-operators] RabbitMQ 3.6.x experience?

2017-01-09 Thread Tomáš Vondra
We have upgraded to RabbitMQ 3.6, and it resulted in one node crashing about every week on out of memory errors. To avoid this, we had to turn off the message rate collection. So no throughput graphs until it gets fixed. Avoid this version if you can. Tomas From: Sam Morrison

We at Homeatcloud.com do exactly this in our VPS service. The user can configure the VPS with any combination of CPU, RAM, and disk. However a) the configurations are all about 10% the size of the physical machines and b) the disks are in a SAN array, provisioned as volumes. So I give the users

Hi! Did someone mention automation changing the spot instance capacity? I did an article in 2013 that proposes exactly that. The model forecasts the workload curve of the majority traffic, which is presumed to be interactive, and the rest may be used for batch traffic. The forecast used is

Re: [Openstack-operators] custom build image is slow

2017-08-01 Thread Tomáš Vondra
Hi! How big are the actual image files? Because qcow2 is a sparse format, it does not store zeroes. If the free space in one image is zeroed out, it will convert much faster. If that is the problem, use „dd if=/dev/zero of=temp;sync;rm temp“ or zerofree. Tomas From: Paras pradhan

Have you tried # resize2fs /dev/vda ? Alternatively, if you use images with cloud-init and initramfs-growroot installed, it should work out of the box. Tomas -Original Message- From: Carlos Konstanski [mailto:ckonstan...@pippiandcarlos.com] Sent: Wednesday, April 26, 2017 12:02 AM To:

Re: [Openstack-operators] [nova] Should we allow passing new user_data during rebuild?

2017-10-05 Thread Tomáš Vondra
In our cloud, we offer the possibility to reinstall the same or another OS on a VPS (Virtual Private Server). Unfortunately, we couldn’t use the rebuild function because of the VPS‘s use of Cinder for root disk. We create a new instance and inject the same User Data so that the new instance has

Re: [Openstack-operators] [nova] Should we allow passing new user_data during rebuild?

2017-10-06 Thread Tomáš Vondra
Dear Clint, maybe you misunderstood a little, or I didn't write it explicitly. We use OpenStack for providing a VPS service, yes. But the VPS users do not get access to OpenStack directly, but instead, they use our Customer Portal which does the orchestration. The whole point is to make the

Re: [Openstack-operators] cinder/nova issues

2017-08-24 Thread Tomáš Vondra
Hi! If this was OpenStack Kilo and HPE 3PAR over Fibre Channel, I would tell you that the volume extend operation is designed to work with detached volumes only. Hence you need cinder reset-state. At least in our case, it does not update the SCSI devices and multipath setup. The volume

Hi! We at Homeatcloud have rolled our own engine taking data from Ceilometer events. However, CloudKitty didn‘t exist back then. Now we would probably use it to calculate the rating AND roll our own engine for billing and invoice printing. Tomas From: Flint WALRUS

Hi! I say delete! Delete them all! Really, it's called delete_on_termination and should be ignored on Rebuild. We have a VPS service implemented on top of OpenStack and do throw the old contents away on Rebuild. When the user has the Backup service paid, they can restore a snapshot. Backup is

[Openstack-operators] osops-tools-monitoring Dependency problems

Hi! I'm a long time user of monitoring-for-openstack, also known as oschecks. Concretely, I used a version from 2015 with OpenStack python client libraries from Kilo. Now I have upgraded them to Mitaka and it got broken. Even the latest oschecks don't work. I didn't quite expect that, given that
