#OpenStack CVRM README

CVRM is an Attribute-based Constraint Specification and Enfrocement mechanism for virtual resource orchestration in OpenStack. The project is built on DevStack and is in beta stage. The master branch is in version 0.20. It provides REST API to specify mandatory constaints for attaching storages to virtual machines.

#Build

CVRM is developed in OpenStack Icehouse (However, it can easily incorporate to later versions(Kilo or Juno).

The build process is as follows:

  • Get it from git
    git clone https://github.com/kbijon/OpenStack-CVRM.git
  • Rename the directory to stack:
    mv -r OpenStack-CVRM stack
  • Move the directory to /opt
    mv -r stack /opt/
  • Get into the devstack in side stack
    cd /opt/stack/devstack
  • Run stach.sh
    ./stack.sh

#Usage

It provides APIs for managing attributes and their values and for assigning the attributes to VM and Storages.

The VM attributes APIs:

  • Create an attribute
nova att-create --name color
  • Delete an attribute
 nova att-delete --name color
  • List attributes
 nova att-list
  • Create an attribute value
 nova att-value-set --name color --value red
  • Delete an attribute value
 nova att-value-delete --name color --value red
  • List values of an attribute
 nova att-value-list --name color

The storage attributes APIs:

  • Create an attribute
cinder att-create --name color
  • Delete an attribute
 cinder att-delete --name color
  • List attributes
 cinder att-list
  • Create an attribute value
 cinder att-value-set --name color --value red
  • Delete an attribute value
 cinder att-value-delete --name color --value red
  • List values of an attribute
cinder  att-value-list --name color
