Interlude: Setup an automated RabbitMQ Provider Graceful Shutdown of QEMU Guest from PythonĬleaning up Message Routing of our Cloud Computing Projectĭetect IP Address of QEMU Guest VM on a Bridged Network Let's Program our own Cloud Computing Provider with Python, RabbitMQ and QEMU Let's Program our own Cloud Computing Provider You can watch the full code at commit commit 57a97ef. With it’s internal DHCP server or with the Guest Agent). To fetch IP addresses of VMs (libvirt can show the IPs of VMs Maybe revisit the Guest Agent at some point in the future when we’re trying Without the Guest Agent, even if solutions might not be 100% perfect. For now, I will try to do as much as possible We should kill VMs that do not shutdown gracefully after a short amount ofĪnother option for graceful shutdown would be That some VMs will not listen to the command at all. Listen to shutdown commands in this phase, mine did not. I assume some operating systems might already Still some possible improvements, for example system_powerdown does not work Now, we can - with some limitations - gracefully shutdown our VMs. Start a QEMU guest listening toĭef qemu_socket_monitor ( vm_id : str ) -> Path : return Path ( f '/tmp/aetherscale-qmp. Protocol and we will connect through a unix socket.

Since we want to shutdown the guest programmatically, we will be using the QMP Possibility from the man page is using stdio. Uses a human monitor attached to the graphical user interface of the VM. The control monitor using the JSON-based QEMU Machine Protocol (QMP). ThereĪre also two kinds of monitor: The standard monitor targeting Individually and there are multiple connection methods available. A QEMU monitor can be opened for each guest VM We have to use the QEMU monitor and send a shutdown command there. This is not as simple as one mightĮxpect, but also not so difficult. In this tutorial I want to show how you can trigger a clean shutdown This article is part of a series: Jump to series overview
