Queens Series Release Notes

17.0.0

New Features

• When using Glance and NFS the NFS mount point will now be managed using a systemd mount unit file. This change ensures the deployment of glance is not making potentially system impacting changes to the /etc/fstab and modernizes how we deploy glance when using shared storage.

• New variables have been added to the glance role allowing a deployer to set the UID and GID of the glance user. The new options are, glance_system_user_uid and glance_system_group_uid. These options are useful when deploying glance with shared storage as the back-end for images and will only set the UID and GID of the glance user when defined.

Upgrade Notes

• The glance v1 API is now disabled by default as the API is scheduled to be removed in Queens.

• The glance registry service is now disabled by default as it is not required for the v2 API and is scheduled to be removed in the future. The service can be enabled by setting glance_enable_v2_registry to True.

Deprecation Notes

• The glance_enable_v1_registry variable has been removed. When using the glance v1 API the registry service is required, so having a variable to disable it makes little sense. The service is now enabled/disabled for the v1 API using the glance_enable_v1_api variable.

Bug Fixes

• When the glance_enable_v2_registry variable is set to True the corresponding data_api setting is now correctly set. Previously it was not set and therefore the API service was not correctly informed that the registry was operating.
