Hi all,
We want to support xbzrle compress for live migration.
Now there are 3 options,
1. add the enable flag in nova.conf.
such asa dedicated 'live_migration_compression=on|off" parameter
in nova.conf.
And nova simply enable it.
seems not good.
2. add a parameters in live migration API.
A new array compress will be added as optional, the json-schema as below::
{
'type': 'object',
'properties': {
'os-migrateLive': {
'type': 'object',
'properties': {
'block_migration': parameter_types.boolean,
'disk_over_commit': parameter_types.boolean,
'compress': {
'type': 'array',
'items': ["xbzrle"],
},
'host': host
},
'additionalProperties': False,
},
},
'required': ['os-migrateLive'],
'additionalProperties': False,
}
3. dynamically choose when to activate xbzrle compress for live migration.
This is the best.
xbzrle really wants to be used if the network is not able to keep up
with the dirtying rate of the guest RAM.
But how do I check the coming migration fit this situation？

Feels to me that this is too implementation dependent to be exposed in
API. I've seen elsewhere
discussion about removing the block migrate and disk over commit
parameters, the idea being it
would figure out the type of migration for itself and over commit is not
needed anymore.
Seems to me the prevailing view is that we should get live migration to
figure out the best setting for
itself where possible. There was discussion of being able have a
default policy setting that will allow
the operator to define balance between speed of migration and impact on
the instance. This could be
a global default for the cloud with overriding defaults per aggregate,
image, tenant and instance as
well as the ability to vary the setting during the migration operation.
Seems to me that items like compression should be set in configuration
files based on what works best
given the cloud operator's environment?
