2017-06-07 08:09:14 Hiroaki Kobayashi description According to the parse_availability_zone() of the API class [1], Nova has a legacy hack to allow admins to specify hosts via an availability zone using az:host:node. That means ':' cannot be included in the name of an availability zone itself. However, the create aggregate API accepts requests which have availability zone names including ':'. That causes a following bad scenario: 1. An admin creates a host aggregate with availability_zone = bad:name:example 2. An admin tries to create a server with availability_zone = bad:name:example 3. The nova-api parse the request and split the availability_zone value with ':' 4. Then it recognizes az=bad, host=name, node=example 5. Nova returns 'No valid host found' because there is no availability zone whose name is 'bad'. To solve this problem following fixes are needed: * Do not allow admins to create a host aggregate whose availability_zone name including ':'. * Document this specification.

Plan B: * Deprecate the legacy admin hack which uses az:host:node and allow ':' for az name.
