We want to use the rax module to create instances of the "Memory" flavor, and are getting an error like
msg: Policy doesn't allow memory_flavor:create:image_backed to be performed. when we try. https://github.com/chef/knife-rackspace/issues/91 looks like a similar issue for Chef, where they concluded that If you use any of the compute or memory flavors, the only available boot source is boot-from-volume. and To support these flavors, we'll need the ability to specify boot-from-volume from knife-rackspace. Separately, when we opened a Rackspace ticket about this, the tech there said The takeaway is that image_id should be present but blank, and you need a block_device_mapping parameter (or boot_image_id if you were using a Ruby based tool). Does the Ansible rax module support this, possibly with extra_create_args? If so, anyone have an example of how exactly to use it? http://docs.ansible.com/rax_module.html just says "A hash of key/value pairs to be used when creating a new server. This is considered an advanced option, use it wisely and with caution. (added in Ansible 1.6)" and the rax module code didn't seem to have any other obvious details. -Josh ([email protected]) This email is intended for the person(s) to whom it is addressed and may contain information that is PRIVILEGED or CONFIDENTIAL.
