=======
Octavia
=======
Octavia provides load balancing as a service. This guide covers configuration
of Octavia for the Amphora driver. See the :octavia-doc:`Octavia documentation
<>` for full details. The :octavia-doc:`installation guide
<install/install-ubuntu.html>` is a useful reference.
Resources
=========
Currently in Kolla Ansible it is necessary to manually register the OpenStack
resources required by Octavia. Kolla Ansible aims to automate this in the
future.
.. note::
In Train and earlier releases, resources should be registered in the
``admin`` project. This is configured via ``octavia_service_auth_project``,
and may be set to ``service`` to avoid a breaking change when upgrading to
Ussuri. Changing the project on an existing system requires at a minimum
registering a new security group in the new project. Ideally the flavor and
network should be recreated in the new project, although this will impact
existing Amphorae.
All resources should be registered in the ``service`` project. This can be done
as follows:
.. code-block:: console
source admin-openrc.sh
export OS_USERNAME=octavia
export OS_PASSWORD=<octavia keystone password>
export OS_PROJECT_NAME=service
export OS_TENANT_NAME=service
You can find the Octavia password in ``passwords.yml``.
Amphora image
-------------
It is necessary to build an Amphora image. On CentOS / RHEL 8:
.. code-block:: console
sudo dnf -y install epel-release
sudo dnf install -y debootstrap
On Ubuntu:
.. code-block:: console
sudo apt -y install debootstrap
Acquire the Octavia source code:
.. code-block:: console
git clone https://opendev.org/openstack/octavia -b <branch>
Install ``diskimage-builder``, ideally in a virtual environment:
.. code-block:: console
python3 -m venv dib-venv
source dib-venv/bin/activate
pip install diskimage-builder
Create the Amphora image:
.. code-block:: console
cd octavia/diskimage-create
./diskimage-create.sh
Register the image in Glance:
.. code-block:: console
openstack image create amphora-x64-haproxy.qcow2 --container-format bare --disk-format qcow2 --private --tag amphora --file amphora-x64-haproxy.qcow2
Octavia uses the tag to determine which image to use.
Amphora flavor
--------------
Register the flavor in Nova:
.. code-block:: console
openstack flavor create --vcpus 1 --ram 1024 --disk 2 "amphora" --private
Make a note of the ID of the flavor, or specify one via ``--id``.
Keypair
-------
Register the keypair in Nova:
.. code-block:: console
openstack keypair create --public-key <path to octavia public key> octavia_ssh_key
Network and subnet
------------------
Register the management network and subnet in Neutron. This must be a network
that is accessible from the controllers. Typically a VLAN provider network is
used. In that case it will be necessary to enable Neutron provider networks.
.. code-block:: console
OCTAVIA_MGMT_SUBNET=192.168.43.0/24
OCTAVIA_MGMT_SUBNET_START=192.168.43.10
OCTAVIA_MGMT_SUBNET_END=192.168.43.254
openstack network create lb-mgmt-net --provider-network-type vlan --provider-segment 107 --provider-physical-network physnet1
openstack subnet create --subnet-range $OCTAVIA_MGMT_SUBNET --allocation-pool \
start=$OCTAVIA_MGMT_SUBNET_START,end=$OCTAVIA_MGMT_SUBNET_END \
--network lb-mgmt-net lb-mgmt-subnet
Make a note of the ID of the network.
Security group
--------------
Register the security group in Neutron.
.. code-block:: console
openstack security group create lb-mgmt-sec-grp
openstack security group rule create --protocol icmp lb-mgmt-sec-grp
openstack security group rule create --protocol tcp --dst-port 22 lb-mgmt-sec-grp
openstack security group rule create --protocol tcp --dst-port 9443 lb-mgmt-sec-grp
Make a note of the ID of the security group.
Kolla Ansible configuration
===========================
Globals
-------
The following options should be added to ``globals.yml``.
Enable the Octavia service:
.. code-block:: yaml
enable_octavia: yes
If using a VLAN for the Octavia management network, enable Neutron provider
networks:
.. code-block:: yaml
enable_neutron_provider_networks: yes
Configure the name of the network interface on the controllers used to access
the Octavia management network. If using a VLAN provider network, ensure that
the traffic is also bridged to Open vSwitch on the controllers.
.. code-block:: yaml
octavia_network_interface: <network interface on controllers>
Set the IDs of the resources registered previously:
.. code-block:: yaml
octavia_amp_boot_network_list: <ID of lb-mgmt-net>
octavia_amp_secgroup_list: <ID of lb-mgmt-sec-grp>
octavia_amp_flavor_id: <ID of amphora flavor>
Passwords
---------
The following option should be set in ``passwords.yml``, matching the password
used to encrypt the CA key:
.. code-block:: yaml
octavia_ca_password: <CA key password>
Certificates
============
Follow the :octavia-doc:`octavia documentation
<admin/guides/certificates.html>` to generate certificates for Amphorae. These
should be copied to the Kolla Ansible configuration as follows:
.. code-block:: ini
cp client_ca/certs/ca.cert.pem /etc/kolla/config/octavia/client_ca.cert.pem
cp server_ca/certs/ca.cert.pem /etc/kolla/config/octavia/server_ca.cert.pem
cp server_ca/private/ca.key.pem /etc/kolla/config/octavia/server_ca.key.pem
cp client_ca/private/client.cert-and-key.pem /etc/kolla/config/octavia/client.cert-and-key.pem
