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>.

Scope Cluster
Default Value false
Description Enable/disable automatic DRS on a cluster.
ClusterDrsInterval
Key drs.automatic.interval

Key drs.imbalance.metric
Scope Cluster
Default Value memory
Description The cluster imbalance metric to use when checking the drs.imbalance.threshold. Possible values are memory and cpu.
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.

Making a diskful resource was meant as an optimization,
but cannot work on non hyperconverged setups,
as the storage nodes (diskful) are not part of the cloudstack cluster.
A TODO was overseen and never implemented,
which could trigger the following bug:
If Linstor didn't create a resource (diskless or diskfull) on
the cloudstack choosen node, it would not be able to copy the
template data there, it even seems no error was
triggered and the new template file silently just became
empty/corrupt.
This PR allows an admin to reserve some hypervisor host CPUs for system use. Another way to think of it is limiting the number of CPUs allocatable to VMs. This can be useful if the admin wants to do other things with the hypervisor's CPU, for example reserve some cores for running hyperconverged storage processes.

This fixes the following cases in which Solidfire storage integration
caused issues when using Solidfire datadisks with VMware:
1. Take Volume Snapshot of Solidfire data disk
2. Delete an active Instance with Solidfire data disk attached
3. Attach used existing Solidfire data disk to a running/stopped VM
4. Stop and Start an instance with Solidfire data disks attached
5. Expand disk by resizing Solidfire data disk by providing size
6. Expand disk by changing disk offering for the Solidfire data disk
Additional changes:
- Use VMFS6 as managed datastore type if the host supports
- Refactor detection and splitting of managed storage ds name in storage
processor
- Restrict storage rescanning for managed datastore when resizing
