the popular Amazon EC2 and S3 APIs.

Tests are lacking for the db api layer and for the sqlalchemy driver.
Failures in the drivers would be dectected in other test cases, though.

Nova implements RPC (both request+response, and one-way, respectively nicknamed 'rpc.call' and 'rpc.cast') over AMQP by providing an adapter class which take cares of marshalling and unmarshalling of messages into function calls. Each Nova service (for example Compute, Volume, etc.) create two queues at the initialization time, one which accepts messages with routing keys 'NODE-TYPE.NODE-ID' (for example compute.hostname) and another, which accepts messages with routing keys as generic 'NODE-TYPE' (for example compute). The former is used specifically when Nova-API needs to redirect commands to a specific node like 'euca-terminate instance'. In this case, only the compute node whose host's hypervisor is running the virtual machine can kill the instance. The API acts as a consumer when RPC calls are request/response, otherwise is acts as publisher only.

Figure 2 shows the following internal elements:
* Topic Publisher: a Topic Publisher comes to life when an rpc.call or an rpc.cast operation is executed; this object is instantiated and used to push a message to the queuing system. Every publisher connects always to the same topic-based exchange; its life-cycle is limited to the message delivery.
* Direct Consumer: a Direct Consumer comes to life if (an only if) a rpc.call operation is executed; this object is instantiated and used to receive a response message from the queuing system; Every consumer connects to a unique direct-based exchange via a unique exclusive queue; its life-cycle is limited to the message delivery; the exchange and queue identifiers are determined by a UUID generator, and are marshalled in the message sent by the Topic Publisher (only rpc.call operations).
* Direct Consumer: a Direct Consumer comes to life if (an only if) a rpc.call operation is executed; this object is instantiated and used to receive a response message from the queuing system; Every consumer connects to a unique direct-based exchange via a unique exclusive queue; its life-cycle is limited to the message delivery; the exchange and queue identifiers are determined by a UUID generator, and are marshaled in the message sent by the Topic Publisher (only rpc.call operations).
* Topic Consumer: a Topic Consumer comes to life as soon as a Worker is instantiated and exists throughout its life-cycle; this object is used to receive messages from the queue and it invokes the appropriate action as defined by the Worker role. A Topic Consumer connects to the same topic-based exchange either via a shared queue or via a unique exclusive queue. Every Worker has two topic consumers, one that is addressed only during rpc.cast operations (and it connects to a shared queue whose exchange key is 'topic') and the other that is addressed only during rpc.call operations (and it connects to a unique queue whose exchange key is 'topic.host').
* Direct Publisher: a Direct Publisher comes to life only during rpc.call operations and it is instantiated to return the message required by the request/response operation. The object connects to a direct-based exchange whose identity is dictated by the incoming message.
* Topic Exchange: The Exchange is a routing table that exists in the context of a virtual host (the multi-tenancy mechanism provided by RabbitMQ); its type (such as topic vs. direct) determines the routing policy; a RabbitMQ node will have only one topic-based exchange for every topic in Nova.

To achieve the shared-nothing property with multiple copies of the same component, Nova keeps all the cloud system state in a distributed data store. Updates to system state are written into this store, using atomic transactions when required. Requests for system state are read out of this store. In limited cases, the read results are cached within controllers for short periods of time (for example, the current list of system users.)
