Hello, I was wondering if someone has a set of tools/code to work allow admins to move vm's from one tenant to another? We get asked this fairly frequently in our internal cloud (atleast once a week, more when we start going through and cleaning up resources for people who are no longer with the company). I have searched and I was able to find anything externally. Matt Riedemann pointed me to an older spec for nova : https://review.openstack.org/#/c/105367/ for nova. I realize that this will most likely need to be a cross projects effort. Since vm's consume resources for multiple other projects, and to move a VM between projects would also require that those other resources get updated as well. Is anyone aware of a cross project spec to handle this – or of specs in other projects? ___________________________________________________________________ Kris Lindgren Senior Linux Systems Engineer GoDaddy _______________________________________________ OpenStack-operators mailing list OpenStack-operators@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-operators
I think we need a good understanding of what the use case is first. I have to assume that these are pets and that's why we can't just snapshot an instance and then the new user/project can boot an instance from that.
Quotas are going to be a big issue here I'd think, along with any orchestration that nova would need to do with other services like cinder/glance/neutron to transfer ownership of volumes or network resources (ports), and those projects also have their own quota frameworks.
