Summary

Add configured disk-size samples alongside requested CPU/memory metrics. Disk sampling is independent, omits defaulted, and skips unknown sizes without changing sandbox behavior.

Validation

  • Before rebase, validated 5a19bc308 on a local Kind/Firecracker cluster: create, native resume, and snapshot restore each emitted the expected 4 GiB disk sample with the correct kind and no defaulted tag. Unknown disk still emitted CPU/memory but no disk sample. Cleanup passed; Kind was not rerun after rebase.
  • After rebase (1972d90af), formatting, Clippy, pre-commit, and 70 existing affected tests passed. Conflict resolution only adapted module paths to main's metrics relocation. No telemetry unit tests added.
  • Warm-pool sampling and Datadog/production delivery were not verified in this run.

Severity and risk

Severity: not applicable; additive observability. Risks are metric correctness and telemetry cost; template-default disks may remain unknown. No schema or lifecycle changes. Roll back by reverting.

AI assistance: Perplexity reviewed the change, corrected documentation, ran validation, and drafted this description.

Walkthrough

Requested-size metrics now record configured disk size independently from vCPU and memory. An event can contain optional compute data, optional disk size, or both. Cold creates record disk only when its value is positive and accepted by stored_resource; pool claims and lifecycle actions record positive stored disk values. The observability documentation describes sample conditions and exclusions.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to c6005

This PR adds disk-size samples next to the vCPU and memory metrics, and sandbox behavior does not change. The earlier gap for Direct cold creates now looks fixed. The new emission paths have no unit tests, the Kind run predates the rebase, and warm-pool sampling was not checked. Rerun the Kind validation on this head, or accept that gap, before merging.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to d5a90

The change is confined to telemetry, and the traced paths preserve authentication, admission, and sandbox ownership controls. No introduced security regression was established. Remaining uncertainty concerns end-to-end delivery and validation of the reviewed revision.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The traced incremental exposure is telemetry for eligible sandbox operations, including disk-only samples previously suppressed by missing compute data. Request-controlled disk sizes can affect recorded numeric values, but the inspected path adds no tenant, sandbox, datastore, or infrastructure authority.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The traced public create route retains organization and user authentication and federated-grant validation before controller delegation. Recording a rejected admission does not authorize execution: admission rejection remains authoritative before persistence.

Explanation

The title "metrics: record requested disk size beside vCPU and memory" uses the lowercase area prefix "metrics:" followed by a lowercase summary of the change. It matches the configured title format. It also describes the main change: the PR adds a configured disk-size distribution alongside the existing vCPU and memory requested-size metrics. No ticket IDs, trailing period, or internal links appear.

Full details: Bug Fixes Name A Regression Test

Explanation

The PR adds disk-size telemetry. The base version did not record disk-size samples, and the diff does not fix a pre-existing application behavior defect. The regression-test requirement does not apply.

Reviewed 5a19bc3. No blocking findings.

Adds configured rootfs disk-size distributions independently of the existing compute pair, using the existing create/pool-claim/lifecycle recording points. Positive stored-value filtering and MiB-to-byte conversion look correct; disk is emitted before the compute-only defaulted tag is added. Documentation correctly distinguishes configured capacity from usage and calls out missing template-default sizes.

Validation: inspected the diff and surrounding recording/storage call sites. Pull CI passed on this exact head, including Rust tests, Clippy, and formatting. I did not rerun tests locally; Kind/Firecracker evidence is reported in the PR description. Warm-pool sampling and production/Datadog delivery remain explicitly unverified.

Record known disk sizes for Direct cold creates.

For a Direct cold create with disk_mib=4096, resource resolution retains the requested disk size but returns source=None. This guard then suppresses the disk sample, even though the create stores that disk size. Keep the compute-shape exclusion if necessary, but allow the disk sample for non-fork creates with a known disk size. The documentation lists Direct creates as excluded; that exclusion does not reflect whether their disk size is known. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Update the `source` guard so it does not suppress disk-size sampling for
non-fork Direct cold creates when the requested disk size is known. Preserve the
compute-shape exclusion for cases that still lack a usable source, and retain
the existing fork behavior.

Add the sandbox.api.requested.disk_bytes distribution. It is recorded at
the same points as sandbox.api.requested.vcpu and
sandbox.api.requested.memory_bytes: cold creates at cluster admission,
warm-pool claims when adopted, and activations and resumes on success
or admission rejection. It carries the same tags except defaulted,
which describes only vCPU and memory.

The value is the sandbox's configured disk_mib, from the request or an
inherited warm-pool config or policy, converted to bytes. A sandbox
that leaves disk_mib unset runs on its template's own rootfs size,
which the API does not resolve, so it records no disk sample. The disk
distribution can therefore count fewer calls than the vCPU and memory
ones. A known disk size is recorded even when vCPU and memory are not,
and vCPU and memory recording is unchanged.

RequestedSize now carries an optional compute part (vCPU, memory,
defaulted) and an optional disk size, so each is recorded only when
known.
Gate cold-create compute samples on shape source without suppressing known disk sizes. Preserve fork exclusions and document Direct disk sampling.
