- It's easy for a new deployer to miss the importance of the configuration. This highlights the step. - It makes more sense to be guided from the deploy-guide to the Operations guide first, before the contributing. - Reduced the commands to run for a first verification of the cloud.

Ansible references some files that contain mandatory and optional
|
|
configuration directives. Before you can run the Ansible playbooks, modify
|
|
these files to define the target environment. Configuration tasks include:
|
|
|
|
* Target host networking to define bridge interfaces and
|
|
networks.
|
|
* A list of target hosts on which to install the software.
|
|
* Virtual and physical network relationships for OpenStack
|
|
Networking (neutron).
|
|
* Passwords for all services.

Initial environment configuration
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
OpenStack-Ansible (OSA) depends on various files that are used to build an
|
|
inventory for Ansible. Perform the following configuration on the deployment
|
|
host.
|
|
|
|
#. Copy the contents of the
|
|
``/opt/openstack-ansible/etc/openstack_deploy`` directory to the
|
|
``/etc/openstack_deploy`` directory.
|
|
|
|
#. Change to the ``/etc/openstack_deploy`` directory.
|
|
|
|
#. Copy the ``openstack_user_config.yml.example`` file to
|
|
``/etc/openstack_deploy/openstack_user_config.yml``.
|
|
|
|
#. Review the ``openstack_user_config.yml`` file and make changes
|
|
to the deployment of your OpenStack environment.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
This file is heavily commented with details about the various options.
|
|
See our :dev_docs:`User Guide <user/index.html>` and
|
|
:dev_docs:`Reference Guide <reference/index.html>` for more details.
|
|
|
|
The configuration in the ``openstack_user_config.yml`` file defines which hosts
|
|
run the containers and services deployed by OpenStack-Ansible. For
|
|
example, hosts listed in the ``shared-infra_hosts`` section run containers for
|
|
many of the shared services that your OpenStack environment requires. Some of
|
|
these services include databases, Memcached, and RabbitMQ. Several other
|
|
host types contain other types of containers, and all of these are listed
|
|
in the ``openstack_user_config.yml`` file.
|
|
|
|
Some services, such as glance, heat, horizon and nova-infra, are not listed
|
|
individually in the example file as they are contained in the os-infra hosts.
|
|
You can specify image-hosts or dashboard-hosts if you want to scale out in a
|
|
specific manner.
|
|
|
|
For examples, please see our :dev_docs:`User Guides <user/index.html>`
|
|
|
|
For details about how the inventory is generated, from the environment
|
|
configuration and the variable precedence, see our
|
|
:dev_docs:`Reference Guide <reference/index.html>` under the inventory
|
|
section.

|
|
|
Installing additional services
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
To install additional services, the files in
|
|
``etc/openstack_deploy/conf.d`` provide examples showing
|
|
the correct host groups to use. To add another service, add the host group,
|
|
allocate hosts to it, and then execute the playbooks.
|
|
|
|
Advanced service configuration
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
OpenStack-Ansible has many options that you can use for the advanced
|
|
configuration of services. Each role's documentation provides information
|
|
about the available options.
|
|
|
|
.. important::
|
|
|
|
This step is essential to tailoring OpenStack-Ansible to your needs
|
|
and is generally overlooked by new deployers. Have a look at each
|
|
role documentation, user guides, and reference if you want a tailor
|
|
made cloud.

Configuring service credentials
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Configure credentials for each service in the
|
|
``/etc/openstack_deploy/*_secrets.yml`` files. Consider using the
|
|
`Ansible Vault <http://docs.ansible.com/playbooks_vault.html>`_ feature to
|
|
increase security by encrypting any files that contain credentials.
|
|
|
|
Adjust permissions on these files to restrict access by nonprivileged
|
|
users.
|
|
|
|
The ``keystone_auth_admin_password`` option configures the ``admin`` tenant
|
|
password for both the OpenStack API and Dashboard access.
|
|
|
|
We recommend that you use the ``pw-token-gen.py`` script to generate random
|
|
values for the variables in each file that contains service credentials:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: shell-session
|
|
|
|
# cd /opt/openstack-ansible
|
|
# ./scripts/pw-token-gen.py --file /etc/openstack_deploy/user_secrets.yml
|
|
|
|
To regenerate existing passwords, add the ``--regen`` flag.
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
|
|
The playbooks do not currently manage changing passwords in an existing
|
|
environment. Changing passwords and rerunning the playbooks will fail
|
|
and might break your OpenStack environment.
