I am implementing the following spec and have encountered a problem related to the form of the console proxy URL provided to uses.
https://specs.openstack.org/openstack/nova-specs/specs/newton/approved/convert-consoles-to-objects.html The spec changes the representation of the console auth token connection information to be an object stored in the database, instead of the existing dict stored in memcache in the console auth server. At the same time we are rolling out the changes for cells v2. After talking to alaski we have decided that the tokens should go in the child cell database because the tokens relate to instances. This introduces a small problem. The console URL provided to users only includes a token, so this is not enough to map to the cell and database that contains the record related to the token. The URL for the console proxy is determined by the compute nodes according to a configuration parameter. So one solution to this problem is to have a different proxy exposed for each cell and configure the compute nodes with the URL for the appropriate proxy for its cell. Another solution, which can actually be implemented after the first, could be to add some information to the URL resource path that can be used by the proxy to map to the cell and database containing the token record. So the question is: what would be an appropriate addition to the URL resource path that can be used to map to the cell? - it could be a UUID for the instance (my favourite) - it could be something directly related to the cell - it could be something else altogether Does anyone have a better suggestion or a preference?
