             Summary: Improve password serving script by making it non-blocking non-locking concurrent server
                 Key: CLOUDSTACK-8272
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-8272
             Project: CloudStack
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Anyone can view this level - this is the default.)
    Affects Versions: 4.3.2, 4.4.2, 4.5.0, 4.6.0
            Reporter: Rohit Yadav
            Assignee: Rohit Yadav


The current reset password server serves one user VM at a time, uses a global lock per VR and slows up VM starting process for a VM that is created by a template with reset password scripts. No only reset password option, but when the VM starts for the first time this happens. The way it serves password uses forking the process/scripts which eats up resources in both process table and memory. For a concurrent launch of 30+ VM the VR hangs/fails. Possible solution in the past includes increase the VR memory.

The solution would be to implement a concurrent single-process multi-threaded password server that works both in basic/isolated network and in VPCs. It's hard to do this in bash, so we can either implement a backward compatible python script that replaces the present bash script, or a compiled program (like a native tool) in C/C++/Go/Rust.
