Public bug reported: The doc on flavors (https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/user/flavors.html) is inaccurate.
It mentions that Flavor ID is: | Unique ID (integer or UUID) for the new flavor. This property is required. If specifying ‘auto’, a UUID will be automatically generated. But it seems that the "auto" keyword is no longer supported. The Octavia devstack plugin uses it: https://opendev.org/openstack/octavia/src/branch/master/devstack/plugin.sh#L610 but it generates a flavor with the id "auto": $ openstack flavor show m1.amphora +----------------------------+---------------------------------+ | Field | Value | +----------------------------+---------------------------------+ | OS-FLV-DISABLED:disabled | False | | OS-FLV-EXT-DATA:ephemeral | 0 | | access_project_ids | [] | | description | None | | disk | 3 | | id | auto | | name | m1.amphora | | os-flavor-access:is_public | False | | properties | disk='5', hw_rng:allowed='True' | | ram | 1024 | | rxtx_factor | 1.0 | | swap | 0 | | vcpus | 1 | +----------------------------+---------------------------------+ Can you clarify that? is it a doc bug? or a bug in the client? ** Affects: nova Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: doc -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo!
