Azure Compute Driver
--------------------
Before using the Azure driver, make sure you have created a service
principal and saved the credential information in a JSON file. Follow
the instructions at `Azure CLI`_ and use the ``--sdk-auth`` flag::
az ad sp create-for-rbac --name nodepool --sdk-auth
You must also have created a network for Nodepool to use. Be sure to
enable IPv6 on the network if you plan to use it.
Selecting the azure driver adds the following options to the :attr:`providers`
section of the configuration.
.. attr-overview::
:prefix: providers.[azure]
:maxdepth: 3
.. attr:: providers.[azure]
:type: list
An Azure provider's resources are partitioned into groups called `pool`,
and within a pool, the node types which are to be made available are listed
.. note:: For documentation purposes the option names are prefixed
``providers.[azure]`` to disambiguate from other
drivers, but ``[azure]`` is not required in the
configuration (e.g. below
``providers.[azure].pools`` refers to the ``pools``
key in the ``providers`` section when the ``azure``
driver is selected).
Example:
.. code-block:: yaml
providers:
- name: azure-central-us
driver: azure
location: centralus
resource-group: nodepool
resource-group-location: centralus
auth-path: /path/to/nodepoolCreds.json
network: nodepool
cloud-images:
- name: bionic
username: zuul
key: ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAA...
image-reference:
sku: 18.04-LTS
publisher: Canonical
version: latest
offer: UbuntuServer
pools:
- name: main
max-servers: 10
labels:
- name: bionic
cloud-image: bionic
hardware-profile:
vm-size: Standard_D1_v2
.. attr:: name
:required:
A unique name for this provider configuration.
.. attr:: location
:required:
Name of the Azure region to interact with.
.. attr:: resource-group
:required:
Name of the Resource Group in which to place the Nodepool nodes.
.. attr:: resource-group-location
:required:
Name of the Azure region where the home Resource Group is or
should be created.
.. attr:: auth-path
:required:
Path to the JSON file containing the service principal credentials.
Create with the `Azure CLI`_ and the ``--sdk-auth`` flag
.. attr:: network
:required:
Network upon which to create VMs. This can either be a string,
in which case it must be the name of a network in the provider's
resource group and Nodepool will use the subnet named
``default``, or it can be a dictionary with these keys:
.. attr:: resource-group
:default: The provider's resource group
The resource group containing the network.
.. attr:: network
:required:
The name of the network.
.. attr:: subnet
:default: default
The name of the subnet within the network.
.. attr:: ipv4
:type: bool
Whether to enable IPv4 networking. Defaults to true unless ipv6
is enabled. Enabling this will attach a private IP address.
.. attr:: ipv6
:type: bool
:default: false
Whether to enable IPv6 networking. Enabling this will attach a
private IP address.
.. attr:: public-ipv4
:type: bool
Whether to attach a public IPv4 address to instances. Defaults
to true, but will change to false in a future release. Implies
``ipv4``.
.. attr:: public-ipv6
:type: bool
:default: false
Whether to attach a public IPv4 address to instances. Defaults
to true, but will change to false in a future release. Implies
``ipv6``.
.. attr:: use-internal-ip
:type: bool
:default: false
If a public IP is attached but Nodepool should prefer the
private IP, set this to true.
.. attr:: host-key-checking
:type: bool
:default: true
Specify custom behavior of validation of SSH host keys. When
set to False, nodepool-launcher will not ssh-keyscan nodes after
they are booted. This might be needed if nodepool-launcher and
the nodes it launches are on different networks. The default
value is true.
.. attr:: rate
:type: float seconds
:default: 1.0
In seconds, amount to wait between operations on the provider.
.. attr:: boot-timeout
:type: int seconds
:default: 120
Once an instance is active, how long to try connecting to the
image via SSH. If the timeout is exceeded, the node launch is
aborted and the instance deleted.
.. attr:: launch-timeout
:type: int seconds
:default: 3600
The time to wait from issuing the command to create a new instance
until that instance is reported as "active". If the timeout is
exceeded, the node launch is aborted and the instance deleted.
.. attr:: launch-retries
:type: int
:default: 3
The number of times to retry launching a server before
considering the request failed.
.. attr:: post-upload-hook
:type: string
:default: None
Filename of an optional script that can be called after an image has
been uploaded to a provider but before it is taken into use. This is
useful to perform last minute validation tests before an image is
really used for build nodes. The script will be called as follows:
``<SCRIPT> <PROVIDER> <EXTERNAL_IMAGE_ID> <LOCAL_IMAGE_FILENAME>``
If the script returns with result code 0 it is treated as successful
otherwise it is treated as failed and the image gets deleted.
.. attr:: cloud-images
:type: list
Each entry in this section must refer to an entry in the
:attr:`labels` section.
.. code-block:: yaml
cloud-images:
- name: bionic
username: zuul
image-reference:
sku: 18.04-LTS
publisher: Canonical
version: latest
offer: UbuntuServer
- name: windows-server-2016
username: zuul
image-reference:
sku: 2016-Datacenter
publisher: MicrosoftWindowsServer
version: latest
offer: WindowsServer
Each entry is a dictionary with the following keys
.. attr:: name
:type: string
:required:
Identifier to refer this cloud-image from :attr:`labels`
section. Since this name appears elsewhere in the nodepool
configuration file, you may want to use your own descriptive
name here.
.. attr:: username
:type: str
:required:
The username that should be used when connecting to the node.
.. attr:: key
:type: str
The SSH public key that should be installed on the node.
.. attr:: connection-type
:type: string
The connection type that a consumer should use when connecting
to the node. For most diskimages this is not
necessary. However when creating Windows images this could be
``winrm`` to enable access via ansible.
.. attr:: connection-port
:type: int
:default: 22 / 5986
The port that a consumer should use when connecting to the
node. For most diskimages this is not necessary. This defaults
to 22 for ssh and 5986 for winrm.
.. attr:: python-path
:type: str
:default: auto
The path of the default python interpreter. Used by Zuul to set
``ansible_python_interpreter``. The special value ``auto`` will
direct Zuul to use inbuilt Ansible logic to select the
interpreter on Ansible >=2.8, and default to
``/usr/bin/python2`` for earlier versions.
.. attr:: image-reference
:type: dict
:required:
.. attr:: sku
:type: str

Each entry in a provider's `diskimages` section must correspond
to an entry in :attr:`diskimages`. Such an entry indicates that
the corresponding diskimage should be uploaded for use in this
provider. Additionally, any nodes that are created using the
uploaded image will have the associated attributes (such as
flavor or metadata).
If an image is removed from this section, any previously uploaded
images will be deleted from the provider.
.. code-block:: yaml
diskimages:
- name: bionic
pause: False
- name: windows
connection-type: winrm
connection-port: 5986
Each entry is a dictionary with the following keys
.. attr:: name

:required:
Identifier to refer this image from
:attr:`providers.[azure].pools.labels` and
:attr:`diskimages` sections.
.. attr:: pause
:type: bool

When set to True, nodepool-builder will not upload the image
to the provider.

The username that should be used when connecting to the node.
.. attr:: key
:type: str
The SSH public key that should be installed on the node.
.. attr:: connection-type
:type: string
The connection type that a consumer should use when connecting
to the node. For most diskimages this is not
necessary. However when creating Windows images this could be
``winrm`` to enable access via ansible.
.. attr:: connection-port
:type: int
:default: 22 / 5986

``/usr/bin/python2`` for earlier versions.
.. attr:: pools
:type: list
A pool defines a group of resources from an Azure provider. Each pool has a
maximum number of nodes which can be launched from it, along with a number
of cloud-related attributes used when launching nodes.
.. attr:: name
:required:
A unique name within the provider for this pool of resources.
.. attr:: ipv4

they are booted. This might be needed if nodepool-launcher and
the nodes it launches are on different networks. The default
value is true.
.. attr:: labels
:type: list
Each entry in a pool's `labels` section indicates that the
corresponding label is available for use in this pool. When creating
nodes for a label, the flavor-related attributes in that label's
section will be used.
.. code-block:: yaml
labels:
- name: bionic
cloud-image: bionic
