- Multiple agreements about strict minimum bandwidth support feature in nova - Spec has already been updated accordingly: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/502306/

- For now we keep the hostname as the information connecting the nova-compute and the neutron-agent on the same host but we are aiming for having the hostname as an FQDN to avoid possible ambiguity.

- We agreed not to make this feature dependent on moving the nova port create to the conductor. The current scope is to support pre-created neutron port only.

I could rat-hole in the spec, but figured it would be good to also mention it here. When we were talking about this in Dublin, someone also mentioned that depending on the network on which nova-compute creates a port, the port could have a QoS policy applied to it for bandwidth, and then nova-compute would need to allocate resources in Placement for that port (with the instance as the consumer). So then we'd be doing allocations both in the scheduler for pre-created ports and in the compute for ports that nova creates. So the scope statement here isn't entirely true, and leaves us with some technical debt until we move port creation to conductor. Or am I missing something?


I was sloppy and did not include all the details here. The spec goes into a lot more detail about what and how needs to be supported in the first iteration[1]. I still think that moving the port creation to the conductor is not a hard dependency of the first iteration of this feature. I also feel that we agreed on this on the PTG.

Cheers,
