      Remove classic queue mirroring for internal RabbitMQ · 6bfe1927
      Doug Szumski authored
      When OpenStack is deployed with Kolla-Ansible, by default there
      are no durable queues or exchanges created by the OpenStack
      services in RabbitMQ. In Rabbit terminology, not being durable
      is referred to as `transient`, and this means that the queue
      is generally held in memory.
      
      Whether OpenStack services create durable or transient queues is
      traditionally controlled by the Oslo Notification config option:
      `amqp_durable_queues`. In Kolla-Ansible, this remains set to
      the default of `False` in all services. The only `durable`
      objects are the `amq*` exchanges which are internal to RabbitMQ.
      
      More recently, Oslo Notification has introduced support for
      Quorum queues [7]. These are a successor to durable classic
      queues, however it isn't yet clear if they are a good fit for
      OpenStack in general [8].
      
      For clustered RabbitMQ deployments, Kolla-Ansible configures all
      queues as `replicated` [1]. Replication occurs over all nodes
      in the cluster. RabbitMQ refers to this as 'mirroring of classic
      queues'.
      
      In summary, this means that a multi-node Kolla-Ansible deployment
      will end up with a large number of transient, mirrored queues
      and exchanges. However, the RabbitMQ documentation warns against
      this, stating that 'For replicated queues, the only reasonable
      option is to use durable queues: [2]`. This is discussed
      further in the following bug report: [3].
      
      Whilst we could try enabling the `amqp_durable_queues` option
      for each service (this is suggested in [4]), there are
      a number of complexities with this approach, not limited to:
      
      1) RabbitMQ is planning to remove classic queue mirroring in
         favor of 'Quorum queues' in a forthcoming release [5].
      2) Durable queues will be written to disk, which may cause
         performance problems at scale. Note that this includes
         Quorum queues which are always durable.
      3) Potential for race conditions and other complexity
         discussed recently on the mailing list under:
         `[ops] [kolla] RabbitMQ High Availability`
      
      The remaining option, proposed here, is to use classic
      non-mirrored queues everywhere, and rely on services to recover
      if the node hosting a queue or exchange they are using fails.
      There is some discussion of this approach in [6]. The downside
      of potential message loss needs to be weighed against the real
      upsides of increasing the performance of RabbitMQ, and moving
      to a configuration which is officially supported and hopefully
      more stable. In the future, we can then consider promoting
      specific queues to quorum queues, in cases where message loss
      can result in failure states which are hard to recover from.

      Use ansible_facts to reference facts · ade5bfa3
      Mark Goddard authored
      By default, Ansible injects a variable for every fact, prefixed with
      ansible_. This can result in a large number of variables for each host,
      which at scale can incur a performance penalty. Ansible provides a
      configuration option [0] that can be set to False to prevent this
      injection of facts. In this case, facts should be referenced via
      ansible_facts.<fact>.
      
      This change updates all references to Ansible facts within Kolla Ansible
      from using individual fact variables to using the items in the
      ansible_facts dictionary. This allows users to disable fact variable
      injection in their Ansible configuration, which may provide some
      performance improvement.
      
      This change disables fact variable injection in the ansible
      configuration used in CI, to catch any attempts to use the injected
      variables.

      Fix RabbitMQ restart ordering · 0cd5b027
      Mark Goddard authored
      The host list order seen during Ansible handlers may differ to the usual
      play host list order, due to race conditions in notifying handlers. This
      means that restart_services.yml for RabbitMQ may be included in a
      different order than the rabbitmq group, resulting in a node other than
      the 'first' being restarted first. This can cause some nodes to fail to
      join the cluster. The include_tasks loop was introduced in [1].
      
      This change fixes the issue by splitting the handler into two tasks, and
      restarting the first node before all others.

      Reduce RabbitMQ busy waiting, lowering CPU load · 70f6f8e4
      John Garbutt authored
      On machines with many cores, we were seeing excessive CPU load on systems
      that were not very busy. With the following Erlang VM argument we saw
      RabbitMQ CPU usage drop from about 150% to around 20%, on a system with
      40 hyperthreads.
      
          +S 2:2
      
      By default RabbitMQ starts N schedulers where N is the number of CPU
      cores, including hyper-threaded cores. This is fine when you assume all
      your CPUs are dedicated to RabbitMQ. Its not a good idea in a typical
      Kolla Ansible setup. Here we go for two scheduler threads.
      More details can be found here:
      https://www.rabbitmq.com/runtime.html#scheduling
      and here:
      https://erlang.org/doc/man/erl.html#emulator-flags
      
          +sbwt none
      
      This stops busy waiting of the scheduler, for more details see:
      https://www.rabbitmq.com/runtime.html#busy-waiting
      Newer versions of rabbit may need additional flags:
      "+sbwt none +sbwtdcpu none +sbwtdio none"
      But this patch should be back portable to older versions of RabbitMQ
      used in Train and Stein.
      
      Note that information on this tuning was found by looking at data from:
      rabbitmq-diagnostics runtime_thread_stats

      Performance: use import_tasks for check-containers.yml · 9702d4c3
      Mark Goddard authored
      Including tasks has a performance penalty when compared with importing
      tasks. If the include has a condition associated with it, then the
      overhead of the include may be lower than the overhead of skipping all
      imported tasks. In the case of the check-containers.yml include, the
      included file only has a single task, so the overhead of skipping this
      task will not be greater than the overhead of the task import. It
      therefore makes sense to switch to use import_tasks there.

      Performance: Run common role in a separate play · 56ae2db7
      Mark Goddard authored
      The common role was previously added as a dependency to all other roles.
      It would set a fact after running on a host to avoid running twice. This
      had the nice effect that deploying any service would automatically pull
      in the common services for that host. When using tags, any services with
      matching tags would also run the common role. This could be both
      surprising and sometimes useful.
      
      When using Ansible at large scale, there is a penalty associated with
      executing a task against a large number of hosts, even if it is skipped.
      The common role introduces some overhead, just in determining that it
      has already run.
      
      This change extracts the common role into a separate play, and removes
      the dependency on it from all other roles. New groups have been added
      for cron, fluentd, and kolla-toolbox, similar to other services. This
      changes the behaviour in the following ways:
      
      * The common role is now run for all hosts at the beginning, rather than
        prior to their first enabled service
      * Hosts must be in the necessary group for each of the common services
        in order to have that service deployed. This is mostly to avoid
        deploying on localhost or the deployment host
      * If tags are specified for another service e.g. nova, the common role
        will *not* automatically run for matching hosts. The common tag must
        be specified explicitly
      
      The last of these is probably the largest behaviour change. While it
      would be possible to determine which hosts should automatically run the
      common role, it would be quite complex, and would introduce some
      overhead that would probably negate the benefit of splitting out the
      common role.

      CentOS 8: Support variable image tag suffix · 9755c924
      Mark Goddard authored
      For the CentOS 7 to 8 transition, we will have a period where both
      CentOS 7 and 8 images are available. We differentiate these images via a
      tag - the CentOS 8 images will have a tag of train-centos8 (or
      master-centos8 temporarily).
      
      To achieve this, and maintain backwards compatibility for the
      openstack_release variable, we introduce a new 'openstack_tag' variable.
      This variable is based on openstack_release, but has a suffix of
      'openstack_tag_suffix', which is empty except on CentOS 8 where it has a
      value of '-centos8'.
