This change implements the blueprint to convert all roles and plays into a more generic setup, following upstream ansible best practices. Items Changed: * All tasks have tags. * All roles use namespaced variables. * All redundant tasks within a given play and role have been removed. * All of the repetitive plays have been removed in-favor of a more simplistic approach. This change duplicates code within the roles but ensures that the roles only ever run within their own scope. * All roles have been built using an ansible galaxy syntax. * The `*requirement.txt` files have been reformatted follow upstream Openstack practices. * Dynamically generated inventory is now more organized, this should assist anyone who may want or need to dive into the JSON blob that is created. In the inventory a properties field is used for items that customize containers within the inventory. * The environment map has been modified to support additional host groups to enable the seperation of infrastructure pieces. While the old infra_hosts group will still work this change allows for groups to be divided up into seperate chunks; eg: deployment of a swift only stack. * The LXC logic now exists within the plays. * etc/openstack_deploy/user_variables.yml has all password/token variables extracted into the separate file etc/openstack_deploy/user_secrets.yml in order to allow seperate security settings on that file. Items Excised: * All of the roles have had the LXC logic removed from within them which should allow roles to be consumed outside of the `os-ansible-deployment` reference architecture. Note: * the directory rpc_deployment still exists and is presently pointed at plays containing a deprecation warning instructing the user to move to the standard playbooks directory. * While all of the rackspace specific components and variables have been removed and or were refactored the repository still relies on an upstream mirror of Openstack built python files and container images. This upstream mirror is hosted at rackspace at "http://rpc-repo.rackspace.com" though this is not locked to and or tied to rackspace specific installations. This repository contains all of the needed code to create and/or clone your own mirror.

Playbooks
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
There are several playbooks within that will setup hosts for use in OpenStack Cloud. The playbooks will enable LXC on hosts and provides the ability to deploy LXC containers for use within openstack.
|
|
|
|
Plays:
|
|
* ``setup-hosts.yml`` Performs host setup for use with LXC in the OpenStack hosts.
|
|
* ``setup-infrastructure.yml`` Performs all of the setup for all infrastructure components.
|
|
* ``setup-openstack.yml`` Performs all of the setup for all of the OpenStack components.
|
|
|
|
* If you dont want to run plays individually you can simply run ``setup-everything.yml`` which will perform all of the setup and installation for you.
|
|
|
|
Basic Setup:
|
|
1. If you have any roles that you'd like to have pulled in that are outside the scope and or replace modules within this repository please add them to the ``ansible-role-requirements.yml`` file. In this file you will want to fill in the details for the role you want to pull in using standard ansible galaxy format.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
- name: SuperAwesomeModule
|
|
src: https://github.com/super-user/SuperAwesomeModule
|
|
version: master
|
|
|
|
2. Run the ``./scripts/os-ansible-bootstrap.sh`` script, which will install, pip, ansible 1.8.x, all of the required python packages, and bring in any third part ansible roles that you may want to add to the deployment.
|
|
3. Copy the ``etc/openstack_deploy`` directory to ``/etc/openstack_deploy`` or if you are executing all of this as an unprivileged user you can add the ``openstack_deploy`` bits into your home directory as ``${HOME}/.openstack_deploy``.
|
|
4. Fill in your ``openstack_deploy/openstack_user_config.yml``, ``openstack_deploy/user_secrets.yml`` and ``openstack_deploy/user_variables.yml`` files which you've just copied to your ``/etc/`` directory or your ``${HOME}`` folder.
|
|
5. Generate all of your random passwords executing ``scripts/pw-token-gen.py --file /etc/openstack_deploy/user_secrets.yml``.
|
|
6. Accomplish all of the host networking that you want to use within the deployment. See the ``etc/network`` directory in this repository for an example network setup.
|
|
7. When ready change to the ``playbooks/`` directory and execute your desired plays. IE:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
openstack-ansible setup-everything.yml
|
|
|
|
|
|
Notes
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
* If you run the ``./scripts/bootstrap-ansible.sh`` script a wrapper script will be added to your system that wraps the ansible-playbook command to simplify the arguments required to run openstack ansible plays. The name of the wrapper script is **openstack-ansible**.
|
|
* The lxc network is created within the *lxcbr0* interface. This supports both NAT networks as well as more traditional networking. If NAT is enabled (default) the IPtables rules will be created along with the interface as a post-up processes. If you ever need to recreate the rules and or restart the dnsmask process you can bounce the interface IE: ``ifdown lxcb0; ifup lxcbr0`` or you can use the ``lxc-system-manage`` command.
|
|
* The tool ``lxc-system-manage`` is available on all lxc hosts and can assist in recreating parts of the LXC system whenever its needed.
|
|
* Our repository uses a custom `LXC` module which adds ``lxc:`` support to Ansible. The module within this repository is presently pending in upstream ansible at "https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-extras/pull/123".
|
|
* Inventory is generated by executing the ``playbooks/inventory/dynamic_inventory.py`` script. This is configured in the ``playbooks/ansible.cfg`` file.
