--- fixes: - | During the havana cycle it was discovered that eventlet monkey patching of greendns broke ipv6. https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1164822 Since then nova has been disabling eventlet monkey patching of greendns. Eventlet adressed the ipv6 limitation in v0.17 with the introduction of python 3 support in 2015. Nova however continued to disable it, which can result i slow dns queries blocking the entire nova api or other binary because socket.getaddrinfo becomes a blocking call into glibc see: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1964149 for more details.
