This approach requires communication between -Consumers/Administrators and OpenStack to pass through the shim-layer. The -shim-layer intercepts the message flow to manage the allocation requests based -on existing reservations and available capacities in the providers. It also -extracts information from the intercepted messages in order to update its -internal databases. Furthermore, Promise provides additional intent-based APIs -to allow a Consumer or Administrator to perform capacity management (i.e. add -providers, update the capacity, and query the current capacity and utilization -of a provider), reservation management (i.e. create, update, cancel, query -reservations), and allocation management (i.e. create, destroy instances). - -Detailed information about Promise use cases, features, interface -specifications, work flows, and the underlying Promise YANG schema can be found -in the Promise requirement document [#f1]_ . - -Keystone v3 support has been added during the Euphrates release. - - -Promise features and API usage guidelines and examples ------------------------------------------------------- -This section lists the Promise features and API implemented in OPNFV Euphrates. - -Note: The listed parameters are optional unless explicitly marked as "mandatory". - -Reservation management -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ -The reservation management allows a Consumer to request reservations for -resource capacity. Reservations can be for now or a later time window. -After the start time of a reservation has arrived, the Consumer can issue -create server instance requests against the reserved capacity. Note, a -reservation will expire after a predefined *expiry* time in case no -allocation referring to the reservation is requested. - -The implemented workflow is well aligned with the described workflow in the -Promise requirement document [#f1]_ (Section 6.1) except for the -"multi-provider" scenario as described in :ref:`multi-provider` . - -.. _create-reservation: - -*create-reservation* -"""""""""""""""""""" - -This operation allows making a request to the reservation system to reserve -resources. - -The operation takes the following input parameters: - -* start: start time of the requested reservation -* end: end time of the requested reservation -* capacity.instances: amount of instances to be reserved -* capacity.cores: amount of cores to be reserved -* capacity.ram: amount of ram in MB to be reserved - -Promise will check the available capacity in the given time window and in case -sufficient capacity exists to meet the reservation request, will mark those -resources "reserved" in its reservation map. - -*update-reservation* -"""""""""""""""""""" - -This operation allows to update the reservation details for an existing -reservation. - -It can take the same input parameters as in *create-reservation* -but in addition requires a mandatory reference to the *reservation-id* of the -reservation that shall be updated. - -*cancel-reservation* -"""""""""""""""""""" - -This operation is used to cancel an existing reservation. - -The operation takes the following input parameter: - -* reservation-id (mandatory): identifier of the reservation to be canceled. - -*query-reservation* -""""""""""""""""""" - -The operation queries the reservation system to return reservation(s) matching -the specified query filter, e.g., reservations that are within a specified -start/end time window. - -The operation takes the following input parameters to narrow down the query -results: - -* without: excludes specified collection identifiers from the result -* elements.some: query for ResourceCollection(s) that contain some or more of these element(s) -* elements.every: query for ResourceCollection(s) that contain all of these element(s) -* window.start: matches entries that are within the specified start/ -* window.end: end time window -* window.scope: if set to 'exclusive', only reservations with start AND end time - within the time window are returned. Otherwise ('inclusive'), all - reservation starting OR ending in the time windows are returned. -* show-utilization: boolean value that specifies whether to also return the - resource utilization in the queried time window or not - -Allocation management -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -*create-instance* -""""""""""""""""" - -This operation is used to create an instance of specified resource(s) for -immediate use utilizing capacity from the pool. *Create-instance* requests can -be issued against an existing reservation, but also allocations without a -reference to an existing reservation are allowed. In case the allocation -request specifies a reservation identifier, Promise checks if a reservation -with that ID exists, the reservation start time has arrived (i.e. the -reservation is 'active'), and the required capacity for the requested flavor is -within the available capacity of the reservation. If those conditions are met, -Promise creates a record for the allocation (VMState="INITIALIZED") and update -its databases. If no *reservation_id* was provided in the allocation request, -Promise checks whether the required capacity to meet the request can be -provided from the available, non-reserved capacity. If yes, Promise creates a -record for the allocation with an unique *instance-id* and update its -databases. In any other case, Promise rejects the *create-instance* request. - -In case the *create-instance* request is rejected, Promise responds with a -"status=rejected" providing the reason of the rejection. This will help the -Consumer to take appropriate actions, e.g., send an updated *create-instance* -request. In case the *create-instance* request was accepted and a related -allocation record has been created, the shim-layer issues a *createServer* -request to the VIM Controller (i.e. Nova) providing all information to create -the server instance. - -The operation takes the following input parameters: - -* name (mandatory): Assigned name for the instance to be created -* image (mandatory): the image to be booted in the new instance -* flavor (mandatory): the flavor of the requested server instance -* networks: the list of network uuids of the requested server instance -* provider-id: identifier of the provider where the instance shall be created -* reservation-id: identifier of a resource reservation the *create-instance* - -The Euphrates implementation of Promise has the following limitations: - -* All create server instance requests shall pass through the Promise - shim-layer such that Promise can keep track of all allocation requests. This - is necessary as in the current release the sychronization between the VIM - Controller and Promise on the available capacity is not yet implemented. -* *Create-allocation* requests are limited to "simple" allocations, i.e., the - current workflow only supports the Nova compute service and - *create-allocation* requests are limited to creating one server instance at a - time -* Prioritization of reservations and allocations is yet not implemented. - Future version may allow certain policy-based conflict resolution where, - e.g., new allocation request with high priority can "forcefully" terminate - lower priority allocations. - - -*destroy-instance* -"""""""""""""""""" - -This operation request to destroy an existing server instance and release it -back to the pool. - -The operation takes the following input parameter: - -* instance-id: identifier of the server instance to be destroyed - -Capacity management -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ -The capacity management feature allows the Consumer or Administrator to do -capacity planning, i.e. the capacity available to the reservation management -can differ from the actual capacity in the registered provider(s). This feature -can, e.g., be used to limit the available capacity for a given time window due -to a planned downtime of some of the resources, or increase the capacity -available to the reservation system in case of a planned upgrade of the -available capacity. - -*increase/decrease-capacity* -"""""""""""""""""""""""""""" - -This operations allows to increase/decrease the total capacity that is made -available to the Promise reservation service between a specified window in -time. It does NOT increase the actual capacity of a given resource provider, -but is used for capacity management inside Promise. - -This feature can be used in different ways, like - -* Limit the capacity available to the reservation system to a value below 100% - of the available capacity in the VIM, e.g., in order to leave "buffer" in the - actual NFVI to be used outside the Promise reservation service. - -* Inform the reservation system that, from a given time in the future, - additional resources can be reserved, e.g., due to a planned upgrade of the - available capacity of the provider. - -* Similarily, the "decrease-capacity" can be used to reduce the consumable - resources in a given time window, e.g., to prepare for a planned downtime of - some of the resources. - -* Expose multiple reservation service instances to different consumers sharing - the same resource provider. - -The operation takes the following input parameters: - -* start: start time for the increased/decreased capacity -* end: end time for the increased/decreased capacity -* capacity.cores: Increased/decreased amount of cores -* capacity.ram: Increased/decreased amount of RAM -* capacity.instances: Increased/decreased amount of instances - -Note, increase/decreasing the capacity in Promise is completely transparent to -the VIM. As such, when increasing the virtual capacity in Promise (e.g. for a -planned upgrade of the capacity), it is in the responsibility of the -Consumer/Administrator to ensure sufficient resources in the VIM are available -at the appropriate time, in order to prevent allocations against reservations -to fail due to a lack of resources. Therefore, this operations should only be -used carefully. - - -*query-capacity* -"""""""""""""""" - -This operation is used to query the available capacity information of the -specified resource collection. A filter attribute can be specified to narrow -down the query results. - -The current implementation supports the following filter criteria: - -* time window: returns reservations matching the specified window - -* window scope: if set to 'exclusive', only reservations with start AND end time - within the time window are returned. Otherwise, all reservation starting OR - ending in the time windows are returned. - -* metric: query for one of the following capacity metrics: - - * 'total': resource pools - * 'reserved': reserved resources - * 'usage': resource allocations - * 'available': remaining capacity, i.e. neither reserved nor allocated - -.. _multi-provider: - -(Multi-)provider management -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -This API towards OpenStack allows a Consumer/Administrator to add and remove -resource providers to Promise. Note, Promise supports a multi-provider -configuration, however, for Euphrates, multi-provider support is not yet -fully supported. - -*add-provider* -"""""""""""""" - -This operation is used to register a new resource provider into the Promise -reservation system. - -Note, for Euphrates, the add-provider operation should only be used to -register one provider with the Promise shim-layer. Further note that currently -only OpenStack is supported as a provider. - -The operation takes the following input parameters: - -* provider-type = 'openstack': select a specific resource provider - type. -* endpoint : target URL endpoint for the resource provider. -* username : name of the user -* password : user password -* user-domain-name : domain name of the user -* project.name : name of the OpenStack project -* project.domain-name : domain name of the OpenStack project - -..
