Automatic Heat template generation
Project description
OpenStack Orchestration project Heat implements an orchestration engine to launch multiple composite cloud applications based on templates. A Heat template describes infrastructure resources (servers, networks, floating ips, etc) and the relationships between these resources, allowing Heat to deploy the resources in a correct order and to manage whole infrastructure lifecycle.
flame is a standalone tool that generates HOT Heat template from already existing infrastructure. It provides support for Nova (key pairs and servers), Cinder (volumes) and Neutron (router, networks, subnets, security groups and floating IPs) resources.
flame works as follows: using provided credentials (user name, project name, password or auth_token, authentication url), the tool will list supported resources deployed in the project and will generate corresponding, highly customized HOT template.
Installation
First of all, clone the repository and go to the repository directory:
git clone https://github.com/openstack/flame.git cd flame
Then just run:
python setup.py install
Usage
- usage: flame [-h] [–username USERNAME] [–password PASSWORD]
[–project PROJECT] [–region REGION] [–auth_url AUTH_URL] [–insecure] [–exclude-servers] [–exclude-volumes] [–generate-stack-data]
Heat template and data file generator
- optional arguments:
- -h, --help
show this help message and exit
- --username USERNAME
A user name with access to the project. Defaults to env[OS_USERNAME]
- --password PASSWORD
The user’s password. Defaults to env[OS_PASSWORD]
- --project PROJECT
Name of project. Defaults to env[OS_TENANT_NAME]
- --region REGION
Name of region. Defaults to env[OS_REGION_NAME]
- --auth_url AUTH_URL
Authentication URL. Defaults to env[OS_AUTH_URL].
- --os-auth-token OS_AUTH_TOKEN
User’s auth token. Defaults to env[OS_AUTH_TOKEN].
- --insecure
Explicitly allow clients to perform”insecure” SSL (https) requests. The server’s certificate will not be verified against any certificate authorities. This option should be used with caution.
- --exclude-servers
Do not export in template server resources
- --exclude-volumes
Do not export in template volume resources
- --exclude-keypairs
Do not export in template key pair resources
- --generate-stack-data
In addition to template, generate Heat stack data file.
Usage example
To use Flame you can provide yours OpenStack credentials as arguments :
$ flame –username user –password password –project project –auth_url http://<Keystone_host>:5000/v2.0
Or you can source your OpenStack RC file and use Flame without arguments.
Flame can be used with either a login and password pair or a keystone token by exporting the OS_AUTH_TOKEN variable (the token is obtained with keystone token-get).
