Current Series Release Notes

0.0.0

New Features

  • Support separate oslo.messaging services for RPC and Notifications to enable operation of separate and different messaging backend servers.

  • New variables have been added to allow a deployer to customize a watcher systemd unit file to their liking.

  • The task dropping the watcher systemd unit files now uses the config_template action plugin allowing deployers access to customize the unit files as they see fit without having to load extra options into the defaults and pollute the generic systemd unit file with jinja2 variables and conditionals.

  • For the os_watcher role, the systemd unit TimeoutSec value which controls the time between sending a SIGTERM signal and a SIGKILL signal when stopping or restarting the service has been reduced from 300 seconds to 120 seconds. This provides 2 minutes for long-lived sessions to drain while preventing new ones from starting before a restart or a stop. The RestartSec value which controls the time between the service stop and start when restarting has been reduced from 150 seconds to 2 seconds to make the restart happen faster. These values can be adjusted by using the watcher_*_init_config_overrides variables which use the config_template task to change template defaults.
