Hawkular - Event Catcher(H. Rupp)

Hawkular - Server reload(H. Rupp)

Power operations to reload+stop MW-servers

Containers - Chargeback(F. Simoncelli)

Containers - Chargeback(F. Simoncelli)

● Chargeback totals per Project (Namespace)○ CPU Cores usage○ Memory usage○ Network usage (when available)

Containers - OpenSCAP(F. Simoncelli)

● Smart State Analysis has been extended with the OpenSCAP support○ Scanning Pod is instantiated in the container cluster○ Regular SSA happens in ManageIQ using WebDAV to communicate to the

Scanning Pod○ OpenSCAP scan runs in the Pod and ManageIQ collects the results○ No interdependency between regular SSA and OpenSCAP

● At any time it’s possible to see the usual OpenSCAP HTML results per Image

● Scans are scheduled at regular intervals and on a new Image discovery

● Out-of-the-Box Policies for Image compliance○ Additional ones can be created by the users○ Results are pushed into OpenShift annotating Images

Containers - OpenSCAP(F. Simoncelli)

Containers - Policies(F. Simoncelli)

● Support introduced for OpenSCAP○ Out-of-the-Box policies for Images SSA

● Can be extended further (Events and Policy entities) for other use cases

Containers - Cloud Cross Linking(F. Simoncelli)

● Already existing for Infrastructure Providers: RHEV, VMWare, OpenStack

● Extended to Cloud Providers (GCE, AWS) using the ProviderID reported by Kubernetes and OpenShift

Containers - Cloud Cross Linking(F. Simoncelli)

● At the moment, requires a Cloud Provider being configured in Kubernetes and OpenShift (GCE, AWS)

● Ongoing effort in cAdvisor and Kubernetes to automate the ProviderID○ This will allow for other Cloud Providers to be

supported (Azure)○ Targeted for OpenShift Origin 1.3

Containers - Dashboard Additions(F. Simoncelli)

● Pods creation and deletion trends● New images usage trend

Containers - Pods Network Metrics(F. Simoncelli)

Add support for Pods Network Metrics● Supported by Heapster in OpenShift Origin 1.2

Containers - More Enhancements(F. Simoncelli)

● Upgrade to new Gems○ Kubeclient 1.1.3 (was 0.8.1)○ OpenShift Client 1.1.0 (was 0.3.0)○ Image Inspector 1.0.1 (was 1.0.0)

● Display labels for Projects and Routes

Containers - Ongoing (F. Simoncelli)

● Continue OpenShift Deployment automation● Use Multi-Endpoints for Hawkular Metrics

○ No additional steps to use OpenShift Metrics○ No dedicated router on Master node

● Auto-Tagging based on Kubernetes Labels○ It will be possible to map Regions and Zones to

specific Tags in ManageIQ○ This can be extended to other Providers

Ansible Tower (G. McCullough)

● Model updates○ Link JobTemplate instances to Inventory○ Link Ansible hosts to VMs (when possible)

● New Automate namespace○ /ManageIQ/ConfigurationManagement/AnsibleTower

● Demos○ AnsibleTower as a Service Type Bill Wei○ VM Custom Button Integration Madhu Kanoor○ VM Provisioning Integration Madhu Kanoor

● Chargeback

● Appliance Console

● Rest API (A. Bellotti)

Platform - Chargeback (G. Tanzillo)

Chargeback Rate Tiers

Platform - Appliance Console(G. Tanzillo)

Appliance Console

● Added alias ‘ap’ as shortcut for appliance_console

○ alias ap='/usr/bin/appliance_console'

Platform - Appliance Console(A. Bellotti)

● Supports updating some external authentication settings

○ New menu entry and usage:

Platform - Appliance Console(A. Bellotti)

● External authentication options can also be updated using the Appliance

Console CLI:

# appliance_console_cli --extauth-opts=sso_enabled=true|false

# appliance_console_cli --extauth-opts=saml_enabled=true|false

# applicance_console_cli --extauth-opts=local_login_disabled=true|false

REST API (A. Bellotti)

● Versioning bumped to v2.2.0

● Added support for /api/settings○ Provides access to subset of Settings

○ Driven by config/api_settings.yml

○ Supports GET /api/settings[/:section]

GET /api/settings/product

{ "product": { "maindb": "ExtManagementSystem" }}

REST API (A. Bellotti)

● Now supporting CRUD on tenant quotas● Create: POST /api/tenants/:id/quotas

{“name” => “cpu_allocated”,“value” => 1

}● Queries: GET /api/tenants/:id/quotas

GET /api/tenants/:id/quotas/:quota_id● Updates: POST /api/tenants/:id/quotas/:quota_id - action “edit”

PUT /api/tenants/:id/quotas/:quota_idPOST /api/tenants/:id/quotas - action “edit” to update multiple

● Deletes: POST /api/tenants/:id/quotas/:quota_id - action “delete”DELETE /api/tenants/:id/quotas/:quota_id

SmartState (R. Oliveri)

SmartState Pull Requests:● Total merged: 13● Bugs: 9

○ SCVMM: 3○ RHEV: 2○ VMware: 1○ Azure: 1○ Common: 2

● Enhancements: 4

SmartState (R. Oliveri)

Features:● LVM thin volume support.

○ Thin volumes ignored in the past.○ VMs with root on thin volumes would fail.○ VMs with thin volumes are now fully supported.

● SmartState Analysis for Azure.○ Images○ Instances○ Optimization TBD

Automate (G. McCullough)

● Modeling changes○ quota_source_type moved into instance○ Added Auto-Approval/Email to VM Reconfigure

● VM Provisioning○ Disable Auto-Placement logic for

create_provision_request and Rest API calls■ Caller must provide all required placement fields■ Default: placement_auto = true


Example:"vm_fields" => {

"placement_auto" => "false","vm_name" => "test",

"Placement_availability_zone" => "2", # us-east-1b

"instance_type" => "2", # 'm1.small: M1 General Purpose Small'

"cloud_network" => "2",

"cloud_subnet" => "3",

"security_groups" => "64",

"floating_ip_address" => "4",

"guest_access_key_pair" => "65",

"monitoring" => "basic",

}


● Generic Object○ New models

■ GenericObjectDefinition● Defines the attributes for a GenericObject type.● Relationships support will be added in future sprint

■ GenericObject● Common attributes are saved in generic_objects table

○ name, uid and generic_object_definition● All other attributes stored in custom_attributes

○ Next: Defining Object types and exposing to automate

● Automate - Git support○ Modeling added○ New “Git Repositories Owner” role○ Branch/Tag lookup supported○ Initial import logic○ Next: rake task for import / UI support

Dockerizing ManageIQ (B. Azulay)

● What is this about○ Be able to deliver ManageIQ docker appliance ○ To be able to install & run ManageIQ with a one liner command (on any OS that supports

docker, including Atomic)

● What can developers do with it○ Deliver self built appliance for pre integration ○ Multiple environments on the same host (with separate builtin DBs)○ Test your code in appliance mode ○ Test your code in a clean environment

● How should developers use it○ Simply follow https://github.com/ManageIQ/manageiq/tree/master/docker-assets

● Things you should be aware of○ Monolithic, Systemd, appliance mode, image size ~1.3 G○ You can not run multiple manageiq containers at the same time on the same host (ports

collision)○ First execution takes a bit longer (DB migrations run on first execution), simply wait till the

container listens to port 80 … and you are good (takes couple of minutes … depending your HW)

Performance (D. Metzger)

● Support for sorting Virtual Columns in the database○ Previously sorting on Virtual Columns was done in Ruby

● Metrics Rollups bug fix○ Only load recent (needed) performance records not all records

● Service Tree improvement○ Test at a customer site showed:

■ Reduction in page rendering time from 68 seconds to 10 seconds■ Reduction in number of queries from 3,200 to 860

● RBAC○ Ongoing effort to reduce the number SQL queries and quantity of data

being transferred
