● Bugs
● Enhancements
● Technical debt
Notable changes this sprint:
● Fixes
○ Initializers can now load ApplicationController w/o querying DB, #6449
○ 10-20% performance improvement in vm explorer, #6495 and #6487
○ DB seeding no longer silently catches exceptions, #6548
● New

15. REST API
● New actions now provided to approve or deny provision requests:
POST /api/provision_requests/:id
{
“action” : “approve”
}
POST /api/provision_requests/:id
{
“action” : “deny”
}

16. REST API
● Supporting new actions for instances
Target single Instance via POST /api/instances/:id or multiple Instances via POST /api/instances
Action Name
❏ Stop Instance stop
❏ Start Instance start
❏ Pause Instance pause
❏ Suspend Instance suspend
❏ Shelve Instance shelve
❏ Reset Instance reset
❏ Reboot Guest in Instance reboot_guest

17. REST API
Example start action on one or more instances:
POST /api/instances/:id
{
“action” : “start”
}
POST /api/instances
{
“action” : “start”,
“resources” : [
{ “href” : “http://localhost:3000/api/instances/101” },
{ “href” : “http://localhost:3000/api/instances/102” },
{ “href” : “http://localhost:3000/api/instances/103” },
...
]
}

18. REST API
● Ability to delete one’s own authenticated token
This is needed by the Ops UI to use the REST API from JS/Angular. Logout process of a user needs
to invalidate the REST API token used during that session.
Token based authenticated DELETE method example to invalidate “sample_token”:
X-Auth-Token: "sample_token"
DELETE /api/auth

19. REST API
● Ability to retrieve the user’s authorization
This is needed by the SSUI to know the user’s entitled product features in order to show and enable
the controls and tabs appropriately.
GET /api?attributes=authorization
...
"authorization" : {
"product_features" : {
"vms_filter_accord" : { < product feature identifier
"name": "VMs",
"description" : "VMs Accordion"
},
"vm_start" : {
"name" : "Power On",
"description" : "Power On VM",
"action" : { < correlation with REST API collection actions
"name" : "start",
"method" : "post",
"href" : "http://localhost:3000/api/vms"
}
},
...

UIs
