Jean-Emile DARTOIS f6ef197473 Move terminology definition to class related
As of now, the glossary defined in our documentation reflects the
current state of the codebase. In order to avoid any discrepancy
between the codebase and each definition, the objective here is to
gather both in a single place and link it into the rst documentation
via a custom directive.
Also re-aligned the requirements with liberty for doc.

A :ref:`Cluster Data Model <cluster_data_model_definition>` is a logical
representation of the current state and topology of the
:ref:`Cluster <cluster_definition>`
:ref:`Managed resources <managed_resource_definition>`.
It is represented as a set of
:ref:`Managed resources <managed_resource_definition>`
(which may be a simple tree or a flat list of key-value pairs)
which enables Watcher :ref:`Strategies <strategy_definition>` to know the
current relationships between the different
:ref:`resources <managed_resource_definition>`) of the
:ref:`Cluster <cluster_definition>` during an :ref:`Audit <audit_definition>`
and enables the :ref:`Strategy <strategy_definition>` to request information
such as:
- What compute nodes are in a given
:ref:`Availability Zone <availability_zone_definition>`
or a given :ref:`Host Aggregate <host_aggregates_definition>` ?
- What :ref:`Instances <instance_definition>` are hosted on a given compute
node ?
- What is the current load of a compute node ?
- What is the current free memory of a compute node ?
- What is the network link between two compute nodes ?
- What is the available bandwidth on a given network link ?
- What is the current space available on a given virtual disk of a given
:ref:`Instance <instance_definition>` ?
- What is the current state of a given :ref:`Instance <instance_definition>`?
- ...
In a word, this data model enables the :ref:`Strategy <strategy_definition>`
to know:
- the current topology of the :ref:`Cluster <cluster_definition>`
- the current capacity for each
:ref:`Managed resource <managed_resource_definition>`
- the current amount of used/free space for each
:ref:`Managed resource <managed_resource_definition>`
- the current state of each
:ref:`Managed resources <managed_resource_definition>`
In the Watcher project, we aim at providing a generic and very basic
:ref:`Cluster Data Model <cluster_data_model_definition>` for each
:ref:`Goal <goal_definition>`, usable in the associated
:ref:`Strategies <strategy_definition>` through some helper classes in order
to:
- simplify the development of a new
:ref:`Strategy <strategy_definition>` for a given
:ref:`Goal <goal_definition>` when there already are some existing
:ref:`Strategies <strategy_definition>` associated to the same
:ref:`Goal <goal_definition>`
- avoid duplicating the same code in several
:ref:`Strategies <strategy_definition>` associated to the same
:ref:`Goal <goal_definition>`
- have a better consistency between the different
:ref:`Strategies <strategy_definition>` for a given
:ref:`Goal <goal_definition>`
- avoid any strong coupling with any external
:ref:`Cluster Data Model <cluster_data_model_definition>`
(the proposed data model acts as a pivot data model)
There may be various
:ref:`generic and basic Cluster Data Models <cluster_data_model_definition>`
proposed in Watcher helpers, each of them being adapted to achieving a given
:ref:`Goal <goal_definition>`:
- For example, for a
:ref:`Goal <goal_definition>` which aims at optimizing the network
:ref:`resources <managed_resource_definition>` the
:ref:`Strategy <strategy_definition>` may need to know which
:ref:`resources <managed_resource_definition>` are communicating together.
- Whereas for a :ref:`Goal <goal_definition>` which aims at optimizing thermal
and power conditions, the :ref:`Strategy <strategy_definition>` may need to
know the location of each compute node in the racks and the location of each
rack in the room.
Note however that a developer can use his/her own
:ref:`Cluster Data Model <cluster_data_model_definition>` if the proposed data
model does not fit his/her needs as long as the
:ref:`Strategy <strategy_definition>` is able to produce a
:ref:`Solution <solution_definition>` for the requested
:ref:`Goal <goal_definition>`.
For example, a developer could rely on the Nova Data Model to optimize some
compute resources.
The :ref:`Cluster Data Model <cluster_data_model_definition>` may be persisted
in any appropriate storage system (SQL database, NoSQL database, JSON file,
XML File, In Memory Database, ...).
