Summary: Add dynamism to Persistent Networks in CloudStack
Key: CLOUDSTACK-10428
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-10428
Project: CloudStack
Issue Type: Improvement
Security Level: Public (Anyone can view this level - this is the default.)
Components: Network Devices
Reporter: Pearl
Hey There!
To give you a brief overview: Users often may want to manage resources like
Virtual Machines, physical devices, like routers, switches, etc, outside the
scope of CloudStack. To ensure that such devices can be easily managed and
provisioned, CloudStack offers Persistent Networks, which ascertains that the
network gets provisioned at the time of its creation, unlike the usual
networks, which get provisioned only after deployment of VMs on that network.
However, today, we do not have a mechanism to facilitate automatic creation of
the network on hosts that have been added to a cluster or transitioned from
disabled/maintenance to Enabled state post creation of the network. Under such
circumstances, users would need to either manually setup the network or deploy
a VM via CloudStack to provision the network on specific hosts.
It would be a nice feature to incorporate some amount of dynamism into
CloudStack such that we can introduce a sort of a Listener to
- Scan and identify if new hosts have been added
- Scan for hosts that have transitioned to Active state
post creation of the network and enable implementing the resources on such
Hosts.
And at the end of the day, end users are happy that everything required is
already setup for them to deploy their resources - VMs.
