+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1728402 +++ Description of problem: When a compute node (or controller) has many interfaces (bridges/tun), during the application of updates the puppet processes start thrashing trying to generate the network puppet facts. This affects both facter 2 and facter 3 based systems due to the fact that multiple processes end up trying to execute ip commands to gather the networking facts. This can be worked around by caching the facts for the life of the container-puppet.py (or docker-puppet.py) executions. This affects all versions of TripleO since Ocata. Prior to Ocata, facter 2 is super slow when there are more than than 1000 interfaces on a host. At ~1500, it can take >= 10 minutes to generate the facts. for i in $(seq 1 380); do ip tuntap add name dummy_tun$i mode tun; done for i in $(seq 1 1274); do ip link add name dummy_br$i type bridge; done $ time facter facter2 real 9m51.817s user 7m8.936s sys 2m42.702s facter3 real 0m2.954s user 0m1.111s sys 0m1.721s $ time puppet facts facter2 real 12m10.936s user 8m16.478s sys 3m54.138s facter3 real 0m11.169s user 0m5.522s sys 0m4.002s Steps to Reproduce: 1. deploy basic undercloud 2. deploy default overcloud 1ctlr+1compute 3. Apply dummy network interfaces to compute for i in $(seq 1 380); do ip tuntap add name dummy_tun$i mode tun; done for i in $(seq 1 1274); do ip link add name dummy_br$i type bridge; done 4. deploy stack update with no configuration changes Actual results: Stack update will take an excessive amount of time (almost 4 hours in my test) compared to a basic 1ctlr+1compute update with no interfaces (~30 mins in my test) Expected results: Stack update may take a bit longer but it shouldn't approach timeouts.
It should be noted that OSP14 uses facter2 which will still have a larger delay than with facter3 (osp15+). We are currently investigating upgrading facter as well for this version but this should improve the existing performance.
This is a work in progress as you can see in the dependencies being rebased. Moving to ON_DEV. Alex please move it to POST/MODIFIED if you think it's ready. Thanks!
