[Bug 1235351] Re: Metadata proxy queries the DB for each request

 

Actually I'm not sure that caching the mapping would be safe in all
cases.   The period would have to be so short to avoid the risk of the
port and address being re-assigned that it probably doesn't by that much

Title:
  Metadata proxy queries the DB for each request

Status in OpenStack Neutron (virtual network service):
  Invalid

Bug description:
  The metadata agent has add add the Nova instance_id (i.e port
  device_id) to the query headers, which it does via a DB lookup.

  However its normal for a Nova VM to make a number of metadata queries
  in  quick succession, esp during its start-up as cloud-init makes a
  separate request for each metadata item.    The
  network->port->device_id mapping is very stable over a short period of
  time, so this data could be cached to improve performance
