support cinder volume type manage¶

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/heat/+spec/cinder-volume-type

Cinder volume type is an import parameter when creating a volume, it can specify the volume backend and specific whether support consistency group and so on. Support OS::Cinder::VolumeType resource manage in heat will be good.

Note that by default only users who have the admin role can manage volume types because of the default policy in Cinder.

Problem description¶

Currently volume types need to be managed externally to heat and passed into the stack as parameters. This spec defines how we could create both the volume and the volume type within one template.

Proposed change¶

Add the OS::Cinder::VolumeType resource, like this:

resources:
  my_volume_type:
    type: OS::Cinder::VolumeType
    properties:
      name: volumeBackend
      metadata: {volume_backend_name: lvmdriver}

Note that because of the admin restriction mentioned above, the new resource will be added to /contrib.

Alternatives¶

None

Usage Scenario¶

For volume creation take the volume_type to specific the lvm-driver:

resources:
  my_volume:
   type: OS::Cinder::Volume
   properties:
     size: 10
     volume_type: {get_resource: my_volume_type}
