Description Russell Bryant 2014-04-22 13:35:01 UTC
Nova has the following configuration options: "ec2_workers", "osapi_compute_workers", "metadata_workers", and "[conductor] workers".  The default value for these options in RHOS 5.0 is automatically set to the number of CPUs available to ensure that these services are able to utilize more than one CPU.  This is a much better default for scaling purposes.

We should backport this to RHOS 4.0.  The commit that needs to be backported is:

commit 75c96a48fc7e5dfb59d8258142b01422f81b0253

    Use (# of CPUs) workers by default
    
    Update the default value of the worker configuration options to be
    equal to the number of CPUs on the system.  This is the most common
    value that should be used to get ideal performance from nova-conductor
    or nova-api.
    
    The following options are updated in this change:
    
        [default]
        ec2_workers=
        osapi_compute_workers=
        metadata_workers=
    
        [conductor]
        workers=
