hello on openstack with ceph backend is it possible to live resize instances ? I want to change flavor without any down time .
Hi, I don't know of any way to resize an instance without downtime. The docs [1] confirm this, they state:
You can change the size of an instance by changing its flavor. This rebuilds the instance and therefore results in a restart.

Do you mean increase the size of the disk volume? It is possible to increase volume sizes live with ceph storage. On 24/05/2022 19:19, Parsa Aminian wrote:

this type of virtial vm scaling has been requested in the past but it really non tivial to implement so we have never approved a spec to add support to this to nova. if they are refering to voluem resize that should be possibel live if you are using cinder and not novas built in rbd support.
It is possible to increase volume sizes live with ceph storage.

correct live reisze is not supproted and not planned to be supported in a future release. you can extend the disk live if its a boot form voluem instance but nova resize api is and will continue to be an offline operatoion. live resize wiht qemu/kvm has a lot of edge cases like startign the domain with the maxium ram set to the largeset value you might resize too and setting current to what is in the flavor. the same would be required for cpu. its really not something that is compatible with how we do flavor as there are too many ways that it could fail without signifciatly modifying how flavors work.
