Open Stack

Is it a same thing like openstack-neat project?

http://openstack-neat.org/

I am curious about why Neat was not accepted previously.

Subject: Re: [openstack-dev] [nova] Dynamic scheduling

Hello, Jay,

As a fork of nova-scheduler, Gantt most likely will handle initial placement. However, even nova-scheduler now supports some runtime operations (for example, scheduling of evacuated/migrated instances).

Given the runtime scheduling arises in this list regularly, I guess such features will make their way into Scheduler service eventually.

@Oleg, Till now, I'm not sure the target of Gantt, is it for initial placement policy or run time policy or both, can you help clarify?
@Henrique, not sure if you know IBM PRS (Platform Resource Scheduler) [1], we have finished the "dynamic scheduler" in our Icehouse version (PRS 2.2), it has exactly the same feature as your described, we are planning a live demo for this feature in Atlanta Summit. I'm also writing some document for run time policy which will cover more run time policies for OpenStack, but not finished yet. (My shame for the slow progress). The related blueprint is [2], you can also get some discussion from [3]

Thanks.

Henrique,

You should check out Gantt project [1], it could be exactly the place to implement such features. It is a generic cross-project Scheduler as a Service forked from Nova recently.

Hello, everyone!


I am currently a graduate student and member of a group of contributors to OpenStack. We believe that a dynamic scheduler could improve the efficiency of an OpenStack cloud, either by rebalancing nodes to maximize performance or to minimize the number of active hosts, in order to minimize energy costs. Therefore, we would like to propose a dynamic scheduling mechanism to Nova. The main idea is using the Ceilometer information (e.g. RAM, CPU, disk usage) through the ceilometer-client and dinamically decide whether a instance should be live migrated.


This might me done as a Nova periodic task, which will be executed every once in a given period or as a new independent project. In both cases, the current Nova scheduler will not be affected, since this new scheduler will be pluggable. We have done a search and found no such initiative in the OpenStack BPs. Outside the community, we found only a recent IBM announcement for a similiar feature in one of its cloud products.


A possible flow is: In the new scheduler, we periodically make a call to Nova, get the instance list from a specific host and, for each instance, we make a call to the ceilometer-client (e.g. $ ceilometer statistics -m cpu_util -q resource=$INSTANCE_ID) and then, according to some specific parameters configured by the user, analyze the meters and do the proper migrations.


Do you have any comments or suggestions?
