Matt Riedemann 7bcd581c78 Add policy rule to block image-backed servers with 0 root disk flavor
This adds a new policy rule which defaults to behave in a
backward compatible way, but will allow operators to enforce
that servers created with a zero disk flavor must also be
volume-backed servers.

Allowing users to upload their own images and create image-backed
servers on local disk with zero root disk size flavors can be
potentially hazardous if the size of the image is unexpectedly
large, since it can consume the local disk (or shared storage pool).

It should be noted that disabling the new policy rule will
result in a non-backward compatible API behavior change and no
microversion is being introduced for this because enforcement via
a new microversion would not close the security gap on any previous
microversions.

Related compute API reference and user documentation is updated
to mention the policy rule along with a release note since
this is tied to a security bug, which will be backported to stable
branches.

certs.

OpenStack Nova

OpenStack Nova provides a cloud computing fabric controller, supporting a wide variety of compute technologies, including: libvirt (KVM, Xen, LXC and more), Hyper-V, VMware, XenServer, OpenStack Ironic and PowerVM.

Use the following resources to learn more.

API

To learn how to use Nova's API, consult the documentation available online at:

For more information on OpenStack APIs, SDKs and CLIs in general, refer to:

Operators

To learn how to deploy and configure OpenStack Nova, consult the documentation available online at:

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:

Developers

For information on how to contribute to Nova, please see the contents of the CONTRIBUTING.rst.

Any new code must follow the development guidelines detailed in the HACKING.rst file, and pass all unit tests.

Further developer focused documentation is available at:

Other Information

During each Summit and Project Team Gathering, we agree on what the whole community wants to focus on for the upcoming release. The plans for nova can be found at:
