* ui: change reporting link to Github Discussions
Many users are using the footer link to open questions about CloudStack
that are usually discussed on the users@ mailing list. This fixes that
behaviour by diverting them to Github Discussions which are linked with
the user@ ML, smart users can still report actual bugs/issues via the
issues tab.

This PR provides a new primary storage volume type called "FiberChannel" that allows access to volumes connected to hosts over fiber channel connections. It requires Multipath to provide path discovery and failover. Second, the PR adds an AdaptivePrimaryDatastoreProvider that abstracts how volumes are managed/orchestrated from the connector to communicate with the primary storage provider, using a ProviderAdapter interface, allowing the code interacting with the primary storage provider API's to be simpler and have no direct dependencies on Cloudstack code. Lastly, the PR provides an implementation of the ProviderAdapter classes for the HP Enterprise Primera line of storage solutions and the Pure Flash Array line of storage solutions.
This PR adds the capability in CloudStack to convert VMware Instances disk(s) to KVM using virt-v2v and import them as CloudStack instances. It enables CloudStack operators to import VMware instances from vSphere into a KVM cluster managed by CloudStack. vSphere/VMware setup might be managed by CloudStack or be a standalone setup.
CloudStack will let the administrator select a VM from an existing VMware vCenter in the CloudStack environment or external vCenter requesting vCenter IP, Datacenter name and credentials.
The migrated VM will be imported as a KVM instance
The migration is done through virt-v2v: https://access.redhat.com/articles/1351473, https://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/virt/virt-v2v-integration.html
The migration process timeout can be set by the setting convert.instance.process.timeout
Before attempting the virt-v2v migration, CloudStack will create a clone of the source VM on VMware. The clone VM will be removed after the registration process finishes.
CloudStack will delegate the migration action to a KVM host and the host will attempt to migrate the VM invoking virt-v2v. In case the guest OS is not supported then CloudStack will handle the error operation as a failure
The migration process using virt-v2v may not be a fast process
CloudStack will not perform any check about the guest OS compatibility for the virt-v2v library as indicated on: https://access.redhat.com/articles/1351473.
In UI, shared network IP addresses are shown in a tab named Public IP addresses inside the network view.
Public IP addresses have their own subsection in the UI. Network → Public IP address. Shared network IP addresses are not shown in this view.
This is confusing for users and Public IP addresses tab in the network view has been renamed as IP addresses for a shared network.

This PR aligns the use of terminology, renaming VM / virtual machine references to 'Instance' and also capitalising the terms Templates, Network, Snapshot, User, Account in CloudStack UI. “VM snapshots” moved under the “Compute” main menu, and renamed to “Instance Snapshots”. “Snapshots” (under Storage section) renamed to “Volume Snapshots”.
OAuth2, the industry-standard authorization or authentication framework, simplifies the process of
granting access to resources. CloudStack supports OAuth2 authentication wherein users can login into
CloudStack without using a username and password. Support for Google and Github providers has been added.
Other OAuth2 providers can be easily integrated with CloudStack using its plugin framework.
The login page will show provider options when the OAuth2 is enabled and corresponding providers are configured.
"OAuth configuration" sub-section is present under "Configuration" where admins can register the corresponding
OAuth providers.
This pull request (PR) implements a Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) for a CloudStack cluster. The primary objective of this feature is to enable automatic resource optimization and workload balancing within the cluster by live migrating the VMs as per configuration.
Administrators can also execute DRS manually for a cluster, using the UI or the API.
Adds support for two algorithms - condensed & balanced. Algorithms are pluggable allowing ACS Administrators to have customized control over scheduling.
Implementation
There are three top level components:
Scheduler
A timer task which:
Generate DRS plan for clusters
Process DRS plan
Remove old DRS plan records
DRS Execution
We go through each VM in the cluster and use the specified algorithm to check if DRS is required and to calculate cost, benefit & improvement of migrating that VM to another host in the cluster. On the basis of cost, benefit & improvement, the best migration is selected for the current iteration and the VM is migrated. The maximum number of iterations (live migrations) possible on the cluster is defined by drs.iterations which is defined as a percentage (as a value between 0 and 1) of total number of workloads.
Algorithm
Every algorithms implements two methods:
needsDrs - to check if drs is required for cluster
getMetrics - to calculate cost, benefit & improvement of a migrating a VM to another host.
Algorithms
Condensed - Packs all the VMs on minimum number of hosts in the cluster.
Balanced - Distributes the VMs evenly across hosts in the cluster.
Algorithms use drs.level to decide the amount of imbalance to allow in the cluster.
APIs Added
listClusterDrsPlan
id - ID of the DRS plan to list
clusterid - to list plans for a cluster id
generateClusterDrsPlan
id - cluster id
iterations - The maximum number of iterations in a DRS job defined as a percentage (as a value between 0 and 1) of total number of workloads. Defaults to value of cluster's drs.iterations setting.
executeClusterDrsPlan
id - ID of the cluster for which DRS plan is to be executed.
migrateto - This parameter specifies the mapping between a vm and a host to migrate that VM. Format of this parameter: migrateto[vm-index].vm=<uuid>&migrateto[vm-index].host=<uuid>.

This PR adds new functionality to copy snapshots across zones and take snapshots for multiple zones.
Copy functionality is similar to template copy. The source zone acts as the web server from where the destination zone(s) can download the snapshot files. For this purpose, a new API - `copySnapshot` has been added. The response for copySnapshot will be returning zone and download details from the first destination zone of the request. This behaviour is similar to the `copyTemplate` API.
In a similar manner, multiple zones can be selected while taking the snapshots or creating snapshot policies. For this snapshot will be taken in the base zone(in which volume is present) and then copied to the additional zones. A new parameter - `zoneids` has been added to `createSnapshot` and `createSnapshotPolicy` APIs.
As snapshots can be present on multiple zones (secondary stores), a new parameter `zoneid` has been added to delete the snapshot copy on a specific zone.
`listSnapshots` API has been updated to allow listing snapshot entries for different zones/datastores. New parameters - `showUnique`, `locationType` have been added.
Events generated during snapshot operations will now be linked to the snapshot itself rather than the volume of the snapshot.
`listSnapshotPolicies` and `createSnapshotPolicy` APIs will return zone details of the zones in which backup will be scheduled for the policy.

This PR aims at improving the CloudStack dashboard and introduces the following:
Admin dashboard: six cards that are responsive to screen sizes and show zone specific compute, storage and network allocation, as well as instance/hosts stats, alerts and events. Now, by default, the admin dashboard shows aggegate data from all zones, with option for admin to select individual zone to see individual zone stats
Account/project dashboard: six cards that are responsive to screen sizes and show account or project specific resource lists/counts, and limits shown in three cards as (a) compute (with running stopped instances), (b) storage and (c) network allocation, an admin-defined links/docs card (via config.json) and events cards. Admin is allowed to configure project limits on project dashboards.
A global create button on the top global header/user-menu to allow for quick actions such as to deploy a VM, CKS cluster and create a volume (more actions can be added as desired via code changes) etc.
