Valence nodes.

New Flavor
==========
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/mogan/+spec/new-flavor
Ironic added a "resource class" attribute to the primary node object represents
the hardware specs. And not like VMs, baremetal nodes are consumed atomically,
not piecemeal, so we would like to have the scheduler using a simplified search
for the baremetal nodes that only looks for node that has a particular resource
class.
Operators are the people who create the flavors and set the baremetal node
resource class attribute, so we need to add a 'resources' field to the flavor
which can include one or more resource classes (not only baremetal node, may
also extend to add other resources later). And a 'description' field would be
added for operators to fill the detail hardware profile.
Problem description
===================
Currently, we just use the flavor name to match with the baremetal nodes,
which is not flexible, as we also want to support associating one flavor to
some different resource classes. And the detail hardware properties fields
make the flavor too complex, we need to keep the flavor simple.
Use Cases
---------
Operators and users wish to use a simple flavor/scheduler to search for
baremetal nodes.
Proposed change
===============
We proposes to add a resources field which can associate one or more resource
classes with the required quantities, like I need $N this resource, but for
baremetal node, it's atomic, so it always be 1. And we also need a description
field for hardware profile. For Valence integration, the flavor.resources can
also reference to a Valence flavor which include all detail required hardware
properties.
The operator might define the flavors as such::
- baremetal-gold
resources:
CUSTOM_BAREMETAL_GOLD: 1
resource_traits:
CUSTOM_BAREMETAL_GOLD: FPGA
description:
Intel(R) Xeon(R) E5620 2.40GHz 16 cores, 8GB RAM
- baremetal-RSD-gold
resources:
valence-gold-flavor: 1
resource_traits:
valence-gold-flavor: PodM1
description:
Intel(R) Xeon(R) E5620 2.40GHz 16 cores, 8GB RAM

Data model impact
-----------------
The proposed change will be adding the following fields to the flavor object
with their data type and default value for migrations.
+-----------------------+--------------+-----------------+
| Field Name | Field Type | Default Value |
+=======================+==============+=================+
| uuid | UUID | None |
+-----------------------+--------------+-----------------+
| name | String | None |
+-----------------------+--------------+-----------------+
| resources | DictOfString | None |
+-----------------------+--------------+-----------------+
| resource_traits | DictOfString | None |
+-----------------------+--------------+-----------------+
| description | String | None |
+-----------------------+--------------+-----------------+
| is_public | Bool | True |
+-----------------------+--------------+-----------------+
| disabled | Bool | False |
+-----------------------+--------------+-----------------+
The `resources` field indicates the resource quantities and the
`resource_traits` field reference to the resource qualities.
The `disabled` field is intended to be used when phasing out flavors. In this
case, a delete wouldn't work because the flavor needs to still be available
for live servers using that flavor, but we don't want to allow *new* servers
created from that flavor. And we propose to deny deleting flavors if they are
associated with servers.
REST API impact
---------------
REST API will be changed as part of this change.
- To create a new flavor, a user will::
POST /v1/flavors
With a body containing the JSON description of the flavor.
JSON Schema::
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
'name': {'type': 'string', 'minLength': 1, 'maxLength': 255},
'resources': {
'type': 'object',
'patternProperties': {
'^[a-zA-Z0-9-_:. ]{1,255}$': {
'type': 'integer', 'minimum': 1
}
},
'additionalProperties': False
},
'resource_traits': {
'type': 'object',
'patternProperties': {
'^[a-zA-Z0-9-_:. ]{1,255}$': {
'type': 'string', 'maxLength': 255
}
},
'additionalProperties': False
},
'description': {'type': 'string', 'minLength': 1},
'disabled': {'type': 'boolean'},
'is_public': {'type': 'boolean'},
},
'required': ['name', 'resources', 'description'],
'additionalProperties': False,
}
- To update a flavor, a user will::
PATCH /v1/flavors/flavor_uuid
We only allow to update below attributes::
['/name', '/is_public', '/disabled']
Example of request BODY::
{
"op": "replace",
"path": "/disabled",
"value": true
}
Update other properties is not allowed, as it will make server properties
not consistent with the real hardware. Users need to create a new flavor
instead in this scenario. And when creating a server, we will check if
the specified flavor is disabled.
