Puppet building rules for OpenStack images.

Project description

Puppet building rules for OpenStack images
==========================================

These elements are used to build disk images for deploying OpenStack via Heat.
They are built as part of the TripleO (https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/TripleO)
umbrella project.

Instructions
------------

Checkout this source tree and also the diskimage builder, export an
ELEMENTS\_PATH to add elements from this tree, and build any disk images you
need.

git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack/diskimage-builder.git
git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack/tripleo-puppet-elements.git
export ELEMENTS_PATH=tripleo-puppet-elements/elements
diskimage-builder/bin/disk-image-create -u base vm bootstrap local-config stackuser heat-cfntools -a i386 -o bootstrap

Common element combinations
---------------------------

Always include heat-cfntools in images that you intend to boot via heat : if
that is not done, then the user ssh keys are not reliably pulled down from the
metadata server due to interactions with cloud-init.

Architecture
------------

OpenStack images are intended to be deployed and maintained using Nova + Heat.

As such they should strive to be stateless, maintained entirely via automation.

Configuration
-------------

In a running OpenStack there are several categories of config.

- per user - e.g. ssh key registration with nova: we repeat this sort
of config every time we add a user.
- local node - e.g. nova.conf or ovs-vsctl add-br br-ex : settings that
apply individually to machines
- inter-node - e.g. credentials on rabbitmq for a given nova compute node
- application state - e.g. 'neutron net-create ...' : settings that
apply to the whole cluster not on a per-user / per-tenant basis

We have five places we can do configuration in TripleO:
- image build time
- in-instance heat-driven (ORC scripts)
- in-instance first-boot scripts [deprecated]
- from outside via APIs
- orchestrated by Heat

Our current heuristic for deciding where to do any particular configuration
step:
- per user config should be done from the outside via APIs, even for
users like 'admin' that we know we'll have. Note that service accounts
are different - they are a form of inter-node configuration.
- local node configuration should be done via ORC driven by Heat and/or
configuration management system metadata.
- inter-node configuration should be done by working through Heat. For
instance, creating a rabbit account for a nova compute node is something
that Heat should arrange, though the act of creating is probably done by a
script on the rabbit server - triggered by Heat - and applying the config is
done on the compute node by the local node script - again triggered by Heat.
- application state changes should be done from outside via APIs
- first-boot scripts should not be used.
