One challenge with virtualization platforms, and particularly cloud environments with self-service catalogs, is that a small number of virtual instances can over-consume resources and starve other resources such as CPU, networking or storage bandwidth.

In Red Hat OpenStack Platform 9, support for creating a QOS (Quality of Service) filter per OpenStack Networking (Neutron) port was added. This allows for the ability to create bandwidth limiting policies per port associated with instances. For example, if there was an instance that had the potential to use a lot of bandwidth, a limiting or QOS rule could be created to only allow for a certain peak of bandwidth to be consumed.

The following steps below walk through the process of creating and applying a bandwidth limiting rule and then validating that it has been applied to the instance. While this is a manual process, one could automate this within the OpenStack Orchestration (Heat) template or with Red Hat CloudForms.

1. Source the overcloudrc file:

[stack@ospvd ~]$ source overcloudrc

 

2. List out the project list to get the tenant id where the qos policy will be created:

[stack@ospvd ~]$ openstack project list
+----------------------------------+---------+
| ID                               | Name    |
+----------------------------------+---------+
| 77f1ccb8b2e94dc4b5cf667f3d451f96 | admin   |
| 7ac4aca69c8643289c2716f1228f2346 | service |
+----------------------------------+---------+

 

3. Create the qos policy and associate it to the tenant:

[stack@ospvd ~]$ neutron qos-policy-create 'bw-limiter' --tenant-id 77f1ccb8b2e94dc4b5cf667f3d451f96
Created a new policy:
+-------------+--------------------------------------+
| Field       | Value                                |
+-------------+--------------------------------------+
| description |                                      |
| id          | 374757cd-e623-42e7-b40b-b7c6979d7860 |
| name        | bw-limiter                           |
| rules       |                                      |
| shared      | False                                |
| tenant_id   | 77f1ccb8b2e94dc4b5cf667f3d451f96     |
+-------------+--------------------------------------+

 

4. Create a rule, in this example a bandwidth rule for the QOS policy defined:

[stack@ospvd ~]$ neutron qos-bandwidth-limit-rule-create bw-limiter --max-kbps 30 --max-burst-kbps 100
Created a new bandwidth_limit_rule:
+----------------+--------------------------------------+
| Field          | Value                                |
+----------------+--------------------------------------+
| id             | 1a142dbc-697a-4f4a-b22c-bc2b5ec42d88 |
| max_burst_kbps | 100                                  |
| max_kbps       | 30                                   |
+----------------+--------------------------------------+

 

5. Display the network listing for the tenant:

[stack@ospvd ~]$ neutron net-list
+--------------------------------------+-----------+-------------------------------------------------------+
| id                                   | name      | subnets                                               |
+--------------------------------------+-----------+-------------------------------------------------------+
| e5281226-75d0-4cf5-85bf-d495e40b6b6e | admin-net | ec683040-ace7-4114-bc1b-07c8fbb528e1 192.168.100.0/24 |
+--------------------------------------+-----------+-------------------------------------------------------+
[stack@ospvd ~]$ neutron port-list|grep e5281226-75d0-4cf5-85bf-d495e40b6b6e
[stack@ospvd ~]$ neutron port-list|grep ec683040-ace7-4114-bc1b-07c8fbb528e1
| 4b4a97d9-2737-4e81-8d22-27e77cceefe1 |      | fa:16:3e:3c:de:3d | {"subnet_id": "ec683040-ace7-4114-bc1b-07c8fbb528e1", "ip_address": "192.168.100.3"} |
| 4d64fb0e-7d3f-4e82-91d2-cc05aabf128e |      | fa:16:3e:ec:e1:d8 | {"subnet_id": "ec683040-ace7-4114-bc1b-07c8fbb528e1", "ip_address": "192.168.100.1"} |
| ed798c3b-05f9-49aa-9466-5f308b4fdaef |      | fa:16:3e:13:71:2b | {"subnet_id": "ec683040-ace7-4114-bc1b-07c8fbb528e1", "ip_address": "192.168.100.2"} |

 

6. Associate the QOS policy to the neutron port of choice to apply the policy to the port:

[stack@ospvd ~]$ neutron port-update 4b4a97d9-2737-4e81-8d22-27e77cceefe1 --qos-policy bw-limiter
Updated port: 4b4a97d9-2737-4e81-8d22-27e77cceefe1

[stack@ospvd ~]$ nova show 69f332be-4d74-4957-97ab-3468caae045b

   </interface>

[root@overcloud-compute-1 heat-admin]# ovs-vsctl list interface qvo4b4a97d9-27 | grep ingress
ingress_policing_burst: 100
