Update: If you want to experiment with the exact code that was used to write this blog posting it is the code at this commit. The branch has since evolved to address some of scaling issues described within. A post about that is forthcoming.
This is the fourth in a …
Continued explorations of winnowing the size of the OpenStack placement service by attempting to remove requirements and adjust code imports, all within a container for easy isolation. The previous discussion is at Placement Container Playground 2.
Today I decided I wanted to run the setup from Placement Scale Fun against …
Some notes on exploring how an OpenStack placement service behaves at scale.
The initial challenge is setting up a useful environment. To exercise placement well we need either or both of lots of instances and lots of resource providers (in the form of compute nodes where those instances can land …
This is a brief followup to placement container playground, wherein I've been using sticking placement into a container with the smallest footprint as a way of exploring the issues involved with extracting placement from nova.
I have two series that experiment with changes that could reduce the footprint:
