Hi,
We have an OpenStack Environment with 5000+ VMs running currently. I want
to apply some common Security Group to all my running VMs.
- Common Security Group (SEC_GRP_COMMON) has around 700 rules.
- This Security Group (SEC_GRP_COMMON) has been shared to all the
OpenStack Projects using Role-Based Access Control (RBAC).
- Wanted to apply this Security Group (SEC_GRP_COMMON) to all the
running VMs in the Cloud
*Question 1*: With the above scenario, what will happen if I attach this
Security Group(with 700+ rules) to all the 5000+ VMs? Will there be any
performance issue/impact for the same (CPU utilization, Memory etc. in the
Compute Server or Performance issues in application running in the VMs)
*Question 2*: Is there any recommendations or benchmark data for maximum
number of rules in the Security Group in OpenStack cloud?
Thanks,
Dhana
