Re: Creating volumes in vscale slows down with the increase of volumes in that account/tenant

About a year ago, there weren't any concrete plans to resolve this.  We're now approaching  5k volumes in our largest account and we're worried this will shut us down soon...    Are you guys at Flexera just waiting for us to call support when it stops working?   Or, was it a foregone conclusion that we would evacuate Flexera solutions before we hit the danger threshold?   If there's anything Flexera can do, today, or sometime sooner than later would be good.     ...

Hi @spomeroy , I really don't have a solution for this issue. What I described doesn't even work, because the action fails due to the CloudApp being in a failed state. 1. The user needs to get a notice that something went wrong, and a failed cloudApp does that. I've made sure to include relevant messaging. Sure, I can ignore the error, but that's not what I want - the owner(s) need to understand there was a problem.  2. The user doesn't have the ability to address it, because the app is in a FAILED state. It now requires an admin.  People launching CloudApps should have the ability to put it back in Running state, but they don't have that privilege. What's the privilege needed for the user to be able to put it back into a Running state? If I make the user admin, they can see everyone's CloudApps, I don't want that. Thanks if you have any better suggestions! ... View more

Here's an idea for future policy development -- include a policy ownership framework: 1. Administrators having the ability to destroy or access resources may not fit everyone's security model. (Ask the NSA, "re: PRIVAC and Ed S."). 2. Current policies do not take the end-user or owner into consideration.  3. Current policies do not leverage roles (only at the level of access management) -- A lot of parts to the policy implementation now exist, but I think what's needed also is policy ownership framework. I'm thinking that each account in Cloud Management should have some settings defined, such as; Per Account Per type of policy (cost/security/etc) policy-owner-role policy-type-delegation-method (policy-owner-role, resource-owner, both) Then, every policy will always inform the person with the correct role, regardless of how it is setup in governance, as well as - if necessary, the individual resource owner.   In one case, we worked with Professional Services to build a policy that will identify owners as setup in rightscale tags and email them directly. That seems a great method to involve the owners of resources. We should move away from selecting individual email addresses for policy notification. ... View more

In Self-Service, using CAT code to run workflow during operations like stop, start, but also creating custom workflows for backups, etc., has been a real nice feature.  In my case, we execute specific tasks, such as shutting down a stack of applications, clean-up cache and/or take a backup. If any task or API call fails, it puts the CloudApp in a failed state, where an end-user is lacking privileges to see the "force to stopped/running".  Depending on what task failed, considering a lot of our users are responsible for their own application stack, (developers, technical support, etc.), we want them to be able to continue to operate the CloudApp without intervention.  I had been looking for a way to, in stead of failing (raise "condition") the CloudApp, to just put it back into a running state - while providing the user with the appropriate warning information. Although Self-Service does not have a method to abort an operation, it does offer a method to just run the start operation again. In my specific case, the start operation will check to see if the instance(s) are already operational - it will be a no-op at that point. ... else # prior step during shutdown operations failed $time = now() + 30 rs_ss.scheduled_actions.create( execution_id: @@execution.id, action: "start", first_occurrence: $time ) Besides the putting the app back in Running, based on the information returned from the prior steps, I assign a message to an output variable that is displayed in the Info tab for the CloudApp. I hope sharing this tidbit helps other people! ...

Hi egonzales, Thanks for confirming this limitation. We are currently at 4.7k volumes in one account and we're experiencing daily deployment failures due to timeouts related to creation of new volumes. We're currently paying for PS to work around the issue, which is not really working, nor is it addressing the root cause.  Our business is not stagnant - we're expecting significant growth year over year. We'll be at 6k within a few months and at 8k in 24 months. The deployment architecture for RCA-V is one instance per data center. How are we supposed to scale this up? ... View more

Hi,  We're having problems with an account that has on average 4000-6000 disk volumes and we realize that creating new volumes is quite slow, timing out frequently, requiring a lot of orchestration to work around 240s API timeouts and wait limits. It appears that the API is not performing at scale. Are there any updates coming to resolve this? ... View more
