This is an attempt to build an easy to use tool to bring up a 2 node devstack environment for local testing using Vagrant + Puppet.
It is almost fully generic, but still hard codes a few things about my environment for lack of a way to figure out how to do this completely generically (puppet templates currently hate me under vagrant).
This will build a vagrant cluster that is L2 bridged to the interface
that you specify in config.yaml
. All devstack guests (2nd
level) will also be L2 bridged to that network as well. That means
that once you bring up this environment you will be able to ssh
stack@api (or whatever your hostname is) from any machines on your
network.
-
Install vagrant & virtual box
-
Configure a base
~/.vagrant.d/Vagrantfile
to set your VM size. If you have enough horsepower you should make the file something like:VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION = "2" Vagrant.configure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do |config| config.vm.provider :virtualbox do |vb| # Use VBoxManage to customize the VM. For example to change memory: vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--memory", "8192"] vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--cpus", "4"] end end
For our tests,
4096
for the memory and2
for cpus should be enough. -
Install the
vagrant-hostmanager
andvagrant-cachier
plugins:vagrant plugin install vagrant-hostmanager vagrant plugin install vagrant-cachier
-
Check the configuration defined in the
config.yaml
file. You have to change at least thebridge_int
value, setting the interface name on which you want the devstack nodes to get bridged (the one you are connected to; useifconfig
and use exactly the name showed there). -
Start the vagrant boxes:
vagrant up
-
Check that the boxes are working. From inside the repository directory:
-
get the status of the boxes with:
vagrant status
-
connect via ssh to the machines using:
vagrant ssh BOXNAME
-
-
If everything worked correctly you should be able to open the page http://manager.openstack.site .
-
You can stop the boxes with
vagrant halt
and destroy them withvagrant destroy
.
Copy config.yaml.sample
to config.yaml
and provide the
hostnames you want, and password hash (not password), and sshkey for
the stack user.
Then run vagrant up.
On a 32 GB Ram, 4 core i7 haswell, on an SSD, with Fios, this takes 25 - 30 minutes. So it's not quick. However it is repeatable.
If you want to speed-up the process, install the vagrant-cachier plugin in order to let vagrant cache files, such as apt packages, with:
vagrant plugin install vagrant-cachier
A 2 node devstack that includes cirros mini cloud image populated in glance.
You can get other images population such as fedora 20, ubuntu 12.04,
and ubuntu 14.04, just with a small addtion to extra_images
part
in config.yaml.sample
.
Default security group with ssh and ping opened up.
Installation of the stack user ssh key as the default keypair.
The devstack environment created by this Vagrantfile
includes just the basic
services to get started with OpenStack. If you want to try more services, you
can enable them on the manager node through the config.yaml
file.
For example if you want to enable Swift, you can
add the following line to your config.yaml
:
manager_extra_services: s-proxy s-object s-container s-account
