RHBA-2017:0470 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated packages that resolve various issues are now available for Red Hat
OpenStack Platform 9.0 director for RHEL 7.

Description

Red Hat OpenStack Platform director provides the facilities for deploying
and monitoring a private or public infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) cloud
based on Red Hat OpenStack Platform.

This update addresses the following issue:

• Previously in Red Hat OpenStack Platform 9, Heat added a way to ignore changes to a server's user_data from the template, but director was still using an override in a custom plugin instead of in the templates, and this override no longer worked with the code change. Consequently, any change to the user_data of a server, for example by modifying the S::TripleO::NodeUserData, would cause Heat to attempt to replace the server.

With this update, the director custom plugin is updated to work with the new code, so that changes to the user_data are once again ignored as they were in Red Hat OpenStack Platform 7 and 8.
As a result, existing servers are not affected when OS::TripleO::NodeUserData is changed; new servers created after the change will get the new user_data. (BZ#1385190)
