Working with Policies
=====================

Creating a Policy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A policy contains the set of rules that are checked/enforced before or
after certain cluster operations are performed. The detailed specification
of a specific policy type is provided as the ``spec`` of a policy object
when it is created. The following is a sample ``spec`` for a deletion policy:

.. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/policies/deletion_policy.yaml
   :language: yaml

.. note::
  The above source file can be found in senlin source tree at
  ``/examples/policies/deletion_policy.yaml``.

To create a policy object using this specification (``spec`` for short):

.. code-block:: console

  $ cd $SENLIN_ROOT/examples/policies
  $ openstack cluster policy create --spec-file deletion_policy.yaml dp01

To verify the policy creation, you can do:

.. code-block:: console

  $ openstack cluster policy list
  $ openstack cluster policy show dp01

Attaching a Policy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The enforce a policy on a cluster, attach a policy to it:

.. code-block:: console

  $ openstack cluster policy attach --policy dp01 mycluster

To verify the policy attach operation, do the following:

.. code-block:: console

  $ openstack cluster policy binding list mycluster
  $ openstack cluster policy binding show --policy dp01 mycluster

Verifying a Policy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To verify the deletion policy attached to the cluster ``mycluster``, you
can try expanding the cluster, followed by shrinking it:

.. code-block:: console

  $ openstack cluster members list mycluster
  $ openstack cluster expand mycluster
  $ openstack cluster members list mycluster
  $ openstack cluster shrink mycluster
  $ openstack cluster members list mycluster

After the scale-in operation is completed, you will find that the oldest
node from the cluster is removed. If you want to remove the youngest node
instead, you can create a different deletion policy with a different
specification.

For more details about policy types and policy management, check the
:doc:`Policy Types <../user/policy_types>` section and the
:doc:`Policies <../user/policies>` section in the
:ref:`user-references` documentation respectively.
You may also want to check the
:doc:`Cluster-Policy Bindings <../user/bindings>` section in the
:ref:`user-references` section for more details on managing the cluster-policy
relationship.
