Rally v0.11.2
=============
+------------------+-----------------------+
| Release date | **03/29/2018** |
+------------------+-----------------------+
* OpenStack plugins moved to the separate
`repo <https://github.com/openstack/rally-openstack>`_ and
`package <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/rally-openstack>`_ .
In-tree OpenStack plugins are deprecated now and will be removed soon.
All
further development should be done in the new repository.
* Environment manager and Platform plugins are extended with a new feature -
creating a spec based on system environment variables.
We had similar feature in Deployment component like below, but it handles
only OpenStack platform.
.. code-block:: console
$ rally deployment create --name "my-deployment" --fromenv
The new feature is not limited by one platform and each platform plugin can
implement it.
The usage of the feature is still pretty simple:
.. code-block:: console
$ rally env create --name "my-env" --from-sysenv
* There is a new argument for `rally env show` command: **--only-spec**. It is
a trigger for showing only a specification of the environment
* Methods for association and dissociation floating ips were deprecated in
novaclient a year ago and latest major release (python-novaclient 10)
`doesn't include them
<https://github.com/openstack/python-novaclient/blob/10.0.0/releasenotes/notes/remove-virt-interfaces-add-rm-fixed-floating-398c905d9c91cca8.yaml>`_.
These actions should be performed via neutronclient now. It is not as simple
as it was via Nova-API and you can find more neutron-related atomic actions
in results of scenarios.
* *os-hosts* CLIs and python API bindings had been deprecated in
python-novaclient 9.0.0 and became removed in `10.0.0 release
<https://github.com/openstack/python-novaclient/blob/10.0.0/releasenotes/notes/remove-hosts-d08855550c40b9c6.yaml>`_.
This decision affected 2 scenarios `NovaHosts.list_hosts
<https://rally.readthedocs.io/en/0.11.1/plugins/plugin_reference.html#novahosts-list-hosts-scenario>`_
and `NovaHosts.list_and_get_hosts
<https://rally.readthedocs.io/en/0.11.1/plugins/plugin_reference.html#novahosts-list-and-get-hosts-scenario>`_
which become redundant and we cannot leave them (python-novaclient doesn't
have proper interfaces any more).
* Improvements of elasticsearch task exporter to cover the case when success
rate of workload is not in range of 0-100. For example, it can happen when
context fails.
