Persistent state data through retries

• New automate methods for state machine methods:
  • state_var_exist?(var_name)
  • set_state_var(var_name, value)
• get_state_var(var_name)

Example:

if $evm.state_var_exist?(“test_data”)
    test_data = $evm.get_state_var(“test_data”)
    # TODO: Something interesting
else
    # First time through, initialize data
    $evm.set_state_var(“test_data”, 1)
end

Automate Model changes

• Auto-placement run from a state machine step for Cloud and Infrastructure provisioning
• Added common “Finished” step to all Automate state machine classes

Added eligible* and set* methods for cloud resources to provision task service model

• eligible_availability_zones
• eligible_cloud_networks
• eligible_cloud_subnets
• eligible_cloud_tenants
• eligible_floating_ip_addresses
• eligible_guest_access_key_pairs
• eligible_instance_types
• eligible_security_groups

Automate changes

Console

• Config temp disk for OpenStack Fleecing
