Rackslab annonce la publication de la nouvelle version de RacksDB v0.3.0 ! Elle inclue notamment le support des GPU et le paramétrage des représentations graphiques.

RacksDB une solution open source pour modéliser vos infrastructures informatiques en datacenter. Cette nouvelle version apporte plusieurs nouvelles fonctionnalités intéressantes :

Des correctifs et d’autres évolutions mineures sont également inclus.

Cette version a reçu des contributions de la part de Bruno Travouillon (Mila), merci encore !

La prochaine version est déjà en développement, avec une interface web moderne développée par Florian Lespérant, déjà disponible en beta. Cette interface web propose une nouvelle expérience utilisateur pour explorer le contenu de votre base de donnée RacksDB, en complément de l’API REST, la CLI et la bibliothèque Python.

Voici le contenu complet de la note de version (en anglais) :

    • Add schema for drawing parameters.
    • Add possibility to tune drawings settings (eg. margin, spacing, etc) with drawings parameters.
    • Add ~hexcolor defined type.
    • Add possiblity to define racks and equipment coloring rules with tags and type associations in drawing parameters (#34).
  • docs:
    • Mention web extra package installation from PyPI in quickstart guide.
    • Mention new optional list of NodeTypeGpu on NodeType in OpenAPI specification and structure reference documentation (from @btravouillon).
    • Add nodetype with GPU in examples databases.
    • Mention new ~bits and ~watts defined types.
    • Mention new optional initial property on RackType in structure reference documentation and OpenAPI specification.
    • Mention new MiscEquipmentType and MiscEquipment objects in OpenAPI specification and structure reference documentation.
    • Add miscellaneous equipment in example database.
    • Mention drawing parameters options --parameters and --drawings-schema options in racksdb and racksdb-web manpages.
    • Add documentation page for drawing parameters with howto and reference.
    • Mention new tags property on Rack object in reference documentation.
    • Mention schema properties default :recursive special value in schema documentation.
    • Prefix objects from RacksDB shema with RacksDB and add objects from drawing parameters schema in OpenAPI specification and structure reference documentation.
    • Add new datacenter and infrastructures in example database.

Changed

  • Database schema is moved from /usr/share/racksdb/schema.yml to /usr/share/racksdb/schemas/racksdb.yml.
  • schema: Use ~bits defined type instead of ~bytes for NodeTypeNetif, StorageEquipmentTypeNetif and NetworkEquipmentTypeNetif bandwidth properties (#21).
  • draw: Start rack slot numbering from rack type initial index (1 by default) instead of hard-coded 0 in infrastructure graphical representations (#24).
  • web:
    • Return REST API errors in JSON object.
    • Changed /draw route method from GET to POST with optional JSON or YAML drawing parameters in request body.
    • Add version to REST API paths.
  • docs:
    • Update supported Linux distributions in quickstart guide.
    • Update structure reference documentation and OpenAPI specification after bandwidths defined type changed from ~bytes to ~bits.
    • Use ~watts defined type in example extension and extension documentation.
    • Update examples database to new rack type initial slot index value set to 1.
    • Update equipments positionning howto to mention new default initial slot 1 and possibility to change it in database.
    • Report default value as example in REST API reference documentation when example is not defined in schema.
    • Update REST API reference documentation paths with version.

Fixed

  • core:
    • Warn with message instead of failing with stack trace when defined type module cannot be loaded.
    • Report error instead of stack trace when the content of an object is not a valid mapping of properties.
  • schema: Fix typo on example attributes of some properties.
  • draw: Fix inverted represention of reversed racks row in infrastructures (#27) (from @btravouillon)
  • docs:
    • Fix URLs to defined types in structure reference after module rename (from @btravouillon).
    • Add missing properties examples in OpenAPI specification.

Removed

  • core: Remove support of bits ([MBG]b) suffix on bytes defined type in favor of new bits defined type.
