[libvirt] [jenkins-ci PATCH] Ensure ca-certificates are installed

[libvirt] CfP VHPC19: HPC Virtualization-Containers: Paper due May 1, 2019 (extended)
by VHPC 19 03 Apr '19

03 Apr '19

==================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS 14th Workshop on Virtualization in High-Performance Cloud Computing (VHPC '19) held in conjunction with the International Supercomputing Conference - High Performance, June 16-20, 2019, Frankfurt, Germany. (Springer LNCS Proceedings) ==================================================================== Date: June 20, 2019 Workshop URL: http://vhpc.org Paper Submission Deadline: May 1, 2019 (extended) Springer LNCS, rolling abstract submission Abstract/Paper Submission Link: https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=25685 Call for Papers Containers and virtualization technologies constitute key enabling factors for flexible resource management in modern data centers, and particularly in cloud environments. Cloud providers need to manage complex infrastructures in a seamless fashion to support the highly dynamic and heterogeneous workloads and hosted applications customers deploy. Similarly, HPC environments have been increasingly adopting techniques that enable flexible management of vast computing and networking resources, close to marginal provisioning cost, which is unprecedented in the history of scientific and commercial computing. Various virtualization-containerization technologies contribute to the overall picture in different ways: machine virtualization, with its capability to enable consolidation of multiple underutilized servers with heterogeneous software and operating systems (OSes), and its capability to live-migrate a fully operating virtual machine (VM) with a very short downtime, enables novel and dynamic ways to manage physical servers; OS-level virtualization (i.e., containerization), with its capability to isolate multiple user-space environments and to allow for their coexistence within the same OS kernel, promises to provide many of the advantages of machine virtualization with high levels of responsiveness and performance; lastly, unikernels provide for many virtualization benefits with a minimized OS/library surface. I/O Virtualization in turn allows physical network interfaces to take traffic from multiple VMs or containers; network virtualization, with its capability to create logical network overlays that are independent of the underlying physical topology is furthermore enabling virtualization of HPC infrastructures. Publication Accepted papers will be published in a Springer LNCS proceedings volume. Topics of Interest The VHPC program committee solicits original, high-quality submissions related to virtualization across the entire software stack with a special focus on the intersection of HPC, containers-virtualization and the cloud. Major Topics: - HPC on Containers and VMs - Containerized applications with OS-level virtualization - Lightweight applications with Unikernels - HP-as-a-Service each major topic encompassing design/architecture, management, performance management, modeling and configuration/tooling: Design / Architecture: - Containers and OS-level virtualization (LXC, Docker, rkt, Singularity, Shifter, i.a.) - Hypervisor support for heterogeneous resources (GPUs, co-processors, FPGAs, etc.) - Hypervisor extensions to mitigate side-channel attacks ([micro-]architectural timing attacks, privilege escalation) - VM & Container trust and security models - Multi-environment coupling, system software supporting in-situ analysis with HPC simulation - Cloud reliability, fault-tolerance and high-availability - Energy-efficient and power-aware virtualization - Containers inside VMs with hypervisor isolation - Virtualization support for emerging memory technologies - Lightweight/specialized operating systems in conjunction with virtual machines - Hypervisor support for heterogeneous resources (GPUs, co-processors, FPGAs, etc.) - Novel unikernels and use cases for virtualized HPC environments - ARM-based hypervisors, ARM virtualization extensions Management: - Container and VM management for HPC and cloud environments - HPC services integration, services to support HPC - Service and on-demand scheduling & resource management - Dedicated workload management with VMs or containers - Workflow coupling with VMs and containers - Unikernel, lightweight VM application management - Environments and tools for operating containerized environments (batch, orchestration) - Novel models for non-HPC workload provisioning on HPC resources Performance Measurements and Modeling: - Performance improvements for or driven by unikernels - Optimizations of virtual machine monitor platforms and hypervisors - Scalability analysis of VMs and/or containers at large scale - Performance measurement, modeling and monitoring of virtualized/cloud workloads - Virtualization in supercomputing environments, HPC clusters, HPC in the cloud Configuration / Tooling: - Tool support for unikernels: configuration/build environments, debuggers, profilers - Job scheduling/control/policy and container placement in virtualized environments - Operating MPI in containers/VMs and Unikernels - Software defined networks and network virtualization - GPU virtualization operationalization The Workshop on Virtualization in High-Performance Cloud Computing (VHPC) aims to bring together researchers and industrial practitioners facing the challenges posed by virtualization in order to foster discussion, collaboration, mutual exchange of knowledge and experience, enabling research to ultimately provide novel solutions for virtualized computing systems of tomorrow.

[libvirt] Release of libvirt-5.2.0
by Daniel Veillard 03 Apr '19

03 Apr '19

It's out, a bit late but the signed tarball and rpms are at the usual place and it's tagged in git: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ I also pushed the python bindings, with only a single patch since 5.1.0 at: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/python/ Note that it's a release with rather large changes, new features and removal of some deprecated init scripts, and as usual a large amount of improvement and bug fixes: New features: - Add Storage Pool Capabilities output Add support to list an enumerated list of supported Storage Pools via the virConnectGetCapabilities API when connected via a Storage Driver. Add support to get a more detailed list XML output Storage Pool Capabilities vis the virConnectGetStoragePoolCapabilites API. - qemu: Support virtio-{non-}transitional device models virtio-transitional and virtio-non-transitional model values were added to the QEMU driver for the following devices: disk, interface, filesystem, rng, vsock, memballoon, controller type scsi, controller type virtio-serial, input bus virtio type passthrough, hostdev type scsi_host. These new models can be used to give fine grained control over what virtio device version is presented to the guest. - qemu: Enable firmware autoselection Libvirt allows users to provide loader path for some time now. However, this puts some burden on users because they need to know what firmware meets their requirements. Now that QEMU ships firmware description files this burden can be moved onto libvirt. It is as easy as setting the firmware attribute in the os element (accepted values are bios and efi). Moreover, libvirt automatically enables domain features needed for firmware it chooses. - snapshots: Add support for topological listings A new flag VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_LIST_TOPOLOGICAL is available for the various snapshot listing APIs such as virDomainListAllSnapshots(). For drivers that support the flag, the listed snapshots are guaranteed to be sorted such that parents occur before children. - Xen: Add support for max grant frames setting Add support for Xen's max_grant_frames setting by adding a new xenbus controller type with a maxGrantFrames attribute.

This may increase migration speed in case a single thread is unable to saturate the network link. Removed features: - Drop support for Upstart and "Red Hat" init scripts Not a single one of the platforms we target still uses Upstart, and the Upstart project itself has been abandoned for several years now; the same is true for the "Red Hat" (really System V) init scripts, since RHEL 7 and later releases use systemd. Improvements: - Report class information for PCI node device capability. - Split setup of IPv4 and IPv6 top level chain The requirement resulting from private chains improvement done in v5.1.0 was refined so that only tables from corresponding IP version are required. This means that if a network doesn't have IPv6 enabled then those tables are not required. - Don't default to building the QEMU driver Historically, the QEMU driver has been special in that it was enabled by default, with the option to explicitly opt-out of it; starting now, we're enabling it opportunistically if we detect that all requirements are available, just like we do with other drivers. Bug fixes: - virt-host-validate: Fix IOMMU check on s390x - qemu: Allow creating pSeries guests with graphics and no USB mouse It's now possible to prevent libvirt from automatically adding a USB mouse to pSeries guests by including a USB tablet in the input XML: doing so is desiderable as using a tablet results in a much better user experience when working with GUIs. - qemu: Set $HOME and XGD variables for qemu:///system guests This avoids files being accidentally created under / or the guests not being able to start because they lack the necessary permissions to write to that location. Thanks everybody for your contributions for this release, be it with bug reports, patches, reviews, documentation, etc... Enjoy the release !
