Quick Start
This guide provides step by step instructions to deploy OpenStack using Kolla on bare metal servers or virtual machines.
Recommended reading
It's beneficial to learn basics of both Ansible and Docker before running Kolla-Ansible.
Host machine requirements
The host machine must satisfy the following minimum requirements:
- 2 network interfaces
- 8GB main memory
- 40GB disk space
Note
Root access to the deployment host machine is required.
Install dependencies
Install and upgrad
pip
to the latest before proceeding.For CentOS, run:
yum install epel-release yum install python-pip pip install -U pip
For Ubuntu, run:
apt-get update apt-get install python-pip pip install -U pip
Install the following dependencies:
For CentOS, run:
yum install python-devel libffi-devel gcc openssl-devel libselinux-python
For Ubuntu, run:
apt-get install python-dev libffi-dev gcc libssl-dev python-selinux
Install Ansible from distribution packaging:
Note
Some implemented distro versions of Ansible are too old to use distro packaging. Currently, CentOS and RHEL package Ansible >2.0 which is suitable for use with Kolla. Note that you will need to enable access to the EPEL repository to install via
yum
to do so, take a look at Fedora's EPEL docs and FAQ.For CentOS or RHEL, this can be done using:
yum install ansible
For Ubuntu, it can be installed by:
apt-get install ansible
Use
pip
to install or upgrade Ansible to latest version:pip install -U ansible
Note
It is recommended to use virtualenv to install non-system packages.
(optional) Add the following options to ansible configuration file
/etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
:[defaults] host_key_checking=False pipelining=True forks=100
Install Kolla-ansible
Install Kolla-ansible for deployment or evaluation
Install kolla-ansible and its dependencies using
pip
.pip install kolla-ansible
Copy
globals.yml
andpasswords.yml
to/etc/kolla
directory.For CentOS, run:
cp -r /usr/share/kolla-ansible/etc_examples/kolla /etc/
For Ubuntu, run:
cp -r /usr/local/share/kolla-ansible/etc_examples/kolla /etc/
Copy
all-in-one
andmultinode
inventory files to the current directory.For CentOS, run:
cp /usr/share/kolla-ansible/ansible/inventory/* .
For Ubuntu, run:
cp /usr/local/share/kolla-ansible/ansible/inventory/* .
Install Kolla for development
Clone
kolla
andkolla-ansible
repositories from git.git clone https://github.com/openstack/kolla git clone https://github.com/openstack/kolla-ansible
Install requirements of
kolla
andkolla-ansible
:pip install -r kolla/requirements.txt pip install -r kolla-ansible/requirements.txt
Copy the configuration files to
/etc/kolla
directory.kolla-ansible
holds the configuration files (globals.yml
andpasswords.yml
) inetc/kolla
.cp -r kolla-ansible/etc/kolla /etc/kolla
Copy the inventory files to the current directory.
kolla-ansible
holds inventory files (all-in-one
andmultinode
) in theansible/inventory
directory.cp kolla-ansible/ansible/inventory/* .
Prepare initial configuration
Inventory
Next step is to prepare our inventory file. Inventory is an ansible file where we specify node roles and access credentials.
Kolla-Ansible comes with all-in-one
and
multinode
example inventory files. Difference between them
is that the former is ready for deploying single node OpenStack on
localhost. If you need to use separate host or more than one node, edit
multinode
inventory:
Edit the first section of
multinode
with connection details of your environment, for example:[control] 10.0.0.[10:12] ansible_user=ubuntu ansible_password=foobar ansible_become=true # Ansible supports syntax like [10:12] - that means 10, 11 and 12. # Become clause means "use sudo". [network:children] control # when you specify group_name:children, it will use contents of group specified. [compute] 10.0.0.[13:14] ansible_user=ubuntu ansible_password=foobar ansible_become=true [monitoring] 10.0.0.10 # This group is for monitoring node. # Fill it with one of the controllers' IP address or some others. [storage:children] compute [deployment] localhost ansible_connection=local become=true # use localhost and sudo
To learn more about inventory files, check Ansible documentation.
Check whether the configuration of inventory is correct or not, run:
ansible -i multinode all -m ping
Note
Ubuntu might not come with python pre-installed. That will cause errors in ping module. To quickly install python with ansible you can run
ansible -m raw -a "apt-get -y install python-dev all"
Kolla passwords
Passwords used in our deployment are stored in
/etc/kolla/passwords.yml
file. All passwords are blank in
this file and have to be filled either manually or by running random
password generator:
For deployment or evaluation, run:
kolla-genpwd
For development, run:
cd kolla-ansible/tools
./generate_passwords.py
Kolla globals.yml
globals.yml
is the main configuration file for
Kolla-Ansible. There are a few options that are required to deploy
Kolla-Ansible:
Image options
User has to specify images that are going to be used for our deployment. In this guide DockerHub provided pre-built images are going to be used. To learn more about building mechanism, please refer image building documentation.
Kolla provides choice of several Linux distributions in containers:
- Centos
- Ubuntu
- Oraclelinux
- Debian
- RHEL
For newcomers, we recommend to use CentOS 7 or Ubuntu 16.04.
kolla_base_distro: "centos"
Next "type" of installation needs to be configured. Choices are:
- binary
-
using repositories like apt or yum
- source
-
using raw source archives, git repositories or local source directory
Note
This only affects OpenStack services. Infrastructure services like Ceph are always "binary".
Note
Source builds are proven to be slightly more reliable than binary.
kolla_install_type: "source"
To use DockerHub images, the default image tag has to be overridden. Images are tagged with release names. For example to use stable Pike images set
openstack_release: "pike"
It's important to use same version of images as kolla-ansible. That means if pip was used to install kolla-ansible, that means it's latest stable version so
openstack release
should be set to queens. If git was used with master branch, DockerHub also provides daily builds of master branch (which is tagged asmaster
):openstack_release: "master"
Networking
Kolla-Ansible requires a few networking options to be set. We need to set network interfaces used by OpenStack.
First interface to set is "network_interface". This is the default interface for multiple management-type networks.
network_interface: "eth0"
Second interface required is dedicated for Neutron external (or public) networks, can be vlan or flat, depends on how the networks are created. This interface should be active without IP address. If not, instances won't be able to access to the external networks.
neutron_external_interface: "eth1"
To learn more about network configuration, refer Network overview.
Next we need to provide floating IP for management traffic. This IP will be managed by keepalived to provide high availability, and should be set to be not used address in management network that is connected to our
network_interface
.kolla_internal_vip_address: "10.1.0.250"
Enable additional services
By default Kolla-Ansible provides a bare compute kit, however it does provide support for a vast selection of additional services. To enable them, set
enable_*
to "yes". For example, to enable Block Storage service:enable_cinder: "yes"
Kolla now supports many OpenStack services, there is a list of available services. For more information about service configuration, Please refer to the Services Reference Guide.
Deployment
After configuration is set, we can proceed to the deployment phase. First we need to setup basic host-level dependencies, like docker.
Kolla-Ansible provides a playbook that will install all required services in the correct versions.
- For deployment or evaluation, run:
Bootstrap servers with kolla deploy dependencies:
kolla-ansible -i ./multinode bootstrap-servers
Do pre-deployment checks for hosts:
kolla-ansible -i ./multinode prechecks
Finally proceed to actual OpenStack deployment:
kolla-ansible -i ./multinode deploy
- For development, run:
Bootstrap servers with kolla deploy dependencies:
cd kolla-ansible/tools ./kolla-ansible -i ./multinode bootstrap-servers
Do pre-deployment checks for hosts:
./kolla-ansible -i ./multinode prechecks
Finally proceed to actual OpenStack deployment:
./kolla-ansible -i ./multinode deploy
When this playbook finishes, OpenStack should be up, running and functional! If error occurs during execution, refer to troubleshooting guide.
Using OpenStack
OpenStack requires an openrc file where credentials for admin user etc are set. To generate this file run
kolla-ansible post-deploy
. /etc/kolla/admin-openrc.sh
Install basic OpenStack CLI clients:
pip install python-openstackclient python-glanceclient python-neutronclient
Depending on how you installed Kolla-Ansible, there is script that will create example networks, images, and so on.
For pip install and CentOS host:
. /usr/share/kolla-ansible/init-runonce
For pip install and Ubuntu host:
. /usr/local/share/kolla-ansible/init-runonce
For git pulled source:
. kolla-ansible/tools/init-runonce
