albatross 1.5.3 · OCaml Package

A tree data structure including policies and dynamic usage.

Considering delegation of resources to someone, and further delegation to others - using a process which is not controlled by the authority - requires runtime tracking of these delegations and the actual usage:

If Alice may create 2 virtual machines, and she delegates the same capability further to both Bob and Charlie, the authority must still enforce that Alice, Bob, and Charlie are able to run 2 virtual machines in total, rather than 2 each.

type t = private {

policies : Vmm_core.Policy.t Vmm_trie.t;
block_devices : (int * bool) Vmm_trie.t;
unikernels : Vmm_core.Unikernel.t Vmm_trie.t;

}

The type of the resource tree.

val empty : t

empty is the empty tree.

val find_vm : t -> Vmm_core.Name.t -> Vmm_core.Unikernel.t option

find_vm t name is either Some vm or None.

val find_policy : t -> Vmm_core.Name.path -> Vmm_core.Policy.t option

find_policy t path is either Some policy or None.

val find_block : t -> Vmm_core.Name.t -> (int * bool) option

find_block t name is either Some (size, active) or None.

val check_vm : 
  t ->
  Vmm_core.Name.t ->
  Vmm_core.Unikernel.config ->
  (unit, [> `Msg of string ]) Stdlib.result

check_vm t name vm checks whether vm under name in t would be allowed under the current policies.

val insert_vm : t -> Vmm_core.Name.t -> Vmm_core.Unikernel.t -> t

insert_vm t name vm inserts vm under name in t, and returns the new t. The caller has to ensure (using check_vm) that a VM with the same name does not yet exist, and the block device is not in use.

raises Invalid_argument
if block device is already in use, or VM already exists.

val insert_policy : 
  t ->
  Vmm_core.Name.path ->
  Vmm_core.Policy.t ->
  (t, [> `Msg of string ]) Stdlib.result

insert_policy t path policy inserts policy under path in t, and returns the new t or an error.

val check_block : 
  t ->
  Vmm_core.Name.t ->
  int ->
  (unit, [> `Msg of string ]) Stdlib.result

check_block t name size checks whether size under name in t would be allowed under the current policies.

val insert_block : 
  t ->
  Vmm_core.Name.t ->
  int ->
  (t, [> `Msg of string ]) Stdlib.result

insert_block t name size inserts size under name in t, and returns the new t or an error.

val remove_vm : t -> Vmm_core.Name.t -> (t, [> `Msg of string ]) Stdlib.result

remove_vm t name removes vm name from t.

val remove_policy : 
  t ->
  Vmm_core.Name.path ->
  (t, [> `Msg of string ]) Stdlib.result

remove_policy t path removes policy path from t.

val remove_block : 
  t ->
  Vmm_core.Name.t ->
  (t, [> `Msg of string ]) Stdlib.result

remove_block t name removes block name from t.

val pp : t Fmt.t

pp is a pretty printer for t.
