=========
Overcloud
=========
.. note::
This documentation is intended as a walk through of the configuration
required for a minimal all-in-one overcloud host. If you are looking
for an all-in-one environment for test or development, see
:ref:`contributor-automated`.
Preparation
===========
Use the bootstrap user described in :ref:`prerequisites
<configuration-scenario-aio-prerequisites>` to access the machine.
As described in the :ref:`overview <configuration-scenario-aio-overview>`, we
will use a bridge (``br0``) and a dummy interface (``dummy0``) for control
plane networking. Use the following commands to create them and assign the
bridge a static IP address of ``192.168.33.3``:
.. code-block:: console
sudo ip l add br0 type bridge
sudo ip l set br0 up
sudo ip a add 192.168.33.3/24 dev br0
sudo ip l add dummy0 type dummy
sudo ip l set dummy0 up
sudo ip l set dummy0 master br0
This configuration is not persistent, and must be recreated if the VM is
rebooted.
Installation
============
Follow the instructions in :doc:`/installation` to set up an Ansible control
host environment. Typically this would be on a separate machine, but here we
are keeping things as simple as possible.
Configuration
=============
Clone the `kayobe-config <https://opendev.org/openstack/kayobe-config>`_
git repository, using the correct branch for the release you are deploying. In
this example we will use the |current_release_git_branch_name| branch.
.. parsed-literal::
cd <base path>/src
git clone \https://opendev.org/openstack/kayobe-config.git -b |current_release_git_branch_name|
cd kayobe-config
This repository is bare, and needs to be populated. The repository includes an
example inventory, which should be removed:
.. code-block:: console
git rm etc/kayobe/inventory/hosts.example
Create an Ansible inventory file and add the machine to it. In this example our
machine is called ``controller0``. Since this is an all-in-one environment, we
add the controller to the ``compute`` group, however normally dedicated
compute nodes would be used.
.. code-block:: yaml
:caption: ``etc/kayobe/inventory/hosts``
# This host acts as the configuration management Ansible control host. This must be
# localhost.
localhost ansible_connection=local
[controllers]
controller0
[compute:children]
controllers
The ``inventory`` directory also contains group variables for network interface
configuration. In this example we will assume that the machine has a single
network interface called ``dummy0``. We will create a bridge called ``br0``
and plug ``dummy0`` into it. Replace the network interface configuration for
the ``controllers`` group with the following:
.. code-block:: yaml
:caption: ``etc/kayobe/inventory/group_vars/controllers/network-interfaces``
# Controller interface on all-in-one network.
aio_interface: br0
# Interface dummy0 is plugged into the all-in-one network bridge.
aio_bridge_ports:
- dummy0
In this scenario a single network called ``aio`` is used. We must therefore set
the name of the default controller networks to ``aio``:
.. code-block:: yaml
:caption: ``etc/kayobe/networks.yml``

Next the ``aio`` network must be defined. This is done using the various
attributes described in :doc:`/configuration/reference/network`. These
values should be adjusted to match the environment. The ``aio_vip_address``
variable should be a free IP address in the same subnet for the virtual IP
address of the OpenStack API.
.. code-block:: yaml
:caption: ``etc/kayobe/networks.yml``
<omitted for clarity>

Kayobe will automatically allocate IP addresses. In this case however, we want
to ensure that the host uses the same IP address it has currently, to avoid
loss of connectivity. We can do this by populating the network allocation file.
Use the correct hostname and IP address for your environment.
.. code-block:: yaml
:caption: ``etc/kayobe/network-allocation.yml``
---
aio_ips:
controller0: 192.168.33.3
The default OS distribution in Kayobe is CentOS. If using an Ubuntu host, set
the ``os_distribution`` variable in ``etc/kayobe/globals.yml`` to ``ubuntu``.
.. code-block:: yaml
:caption: ``etc/kayobe/globals.yml``
os_distribution: "ubuntu"
Kayobe uses a bootstrap user to create a ``stack`` user account. By default,
this user is ``centos`` on CentOS, and ``ubuntu`` on Ubuntu, in line with the
default user in the official cloud images. If you are using a different
bootstrap user, set the ``controller_bootstrap_user`` variable in
``etc/kayobe/controllers.yml``. For example, to set it to ``cloud-user`` (as
seen in MAAS):
.. code-block:: yaml
:caption: ``etc/kayobe/controllers.yml``
controller_bootstrap_user: "cloud-user"
By default, on systems with SELinux enabled, Kayobe will disable SELinux and
reboot the system to apply the change. In a test or development environment
this can be a bit disruptive, particularly when using ephemeral network
configuration. To avoid rebooting the system after disabling SELinux, set
``disable_selinux_do_reboot`` to ``false`` in ``etc/kayobe/globals.yml``.
.. code-block:: yaml
:caption: ``etc/kayobe/globals.yml``
disable_selinux_do_reboot: false
In a development environment, we may wish to tune some Kolla Ansible variables.
Using QEMU as the virtualisation type will be necessary if KVM is not
available. Reducing the number of OpenStack service workers helps to avoid
using too much memory.
.. code-block:: yaml
:caption: ``etc/kayobe/kolla/globals.yml``
# Most development environments will use nested virtualisation, and we can't
# guarantee that nested KVM support is available. Use QEMU as a lowest common
# denominator.
nova_compute_virt_type: qemu
# Reduce the control plane's memory footprint by limiting the number of worker
# processes to one per-service.
openstack_service_workers: "1"
We can see the changes that have been made to the configuration.
.. code-block:: console
cd <base path>/src/kayobe-config
git status
On branch master
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.
Changes to be committed:
(use "git restore --staged <file>..." to unstage)
deleted: etc/kayobe/inventory/hosts.example
Changes not staged for commit:
(use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
(use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
modified: etc/kayobe/globals.yml
modified: etc/kayobe/inventory/group_vars/controllers/network-interfaces
modified: etc/kayobe/kolla/globals.yml
modified: etc/kayobe/networks.yml
Untracked files:
(use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
etc/kayobe/inventory/hosts
etc/kayobe/network-allocation.yml
The ``git diff`` command is also helpful. Once all configuration changes have
been made, they should be committed to the kayobe-config git repository.
.. code-block:: console
cd <base path>/src/kayobe-config
git add etc/kayobe/inventory/hosts etc/kayobe/network-allocation.yml
git add --update
git commit -m "All in one scenario config"
In a real environment these changes would be pushed to a central repository.
Deployment
==========
We are now ready to perform a deployment.
Activate the Kayobe virtual environment:
.. code-block:: console
cd <base path>/venvs/kayobe
source bin/activate
Activate the Kayobe configuration environment:
.. code-block:: console
cd <base path>/src/kayobe-config
source kayobe-env
Bootstrap the control host:
.. code-block:: console
kayobe control host bootstrap
Configure the overcloud host:
.. code-block:: console
kayobe overcloud host configure
After this command has run, some files in the kayobe-config repository will
have changed. Kayobe performs static allocation of IP addresses, and tracks
them in ``etc/kayobe/network-allocation.yml``. Normally there may be changes to
this file, but in this case we manually added the IP address of ``controller0``
earlier. Kayobe uses tools provided by Kolla Ansible to generate passwords, and
stores them in ``etc/kayobe/kolla/passwords.yml``. It is important to track
changes to this file.
.. code-block:: console
cd <base path>/src/kayobe-config
git add etc/kayobe/kolla/passwords.yml
git commit -m "Add autogenerated passwords for Kolla Ansible"
Pull overcloud container images:
.. code-block:: console
kayobe overcloud container image pull
Deploy overcloud services:
.. code-block:: console
kayobe overcloud service deploy
Testing
=======
The ``init-runonce`` script provided by Kolla Ansible (not for production) can
be used to setup some resources for testing. This includes:
* some flavors
* a `cirros <https://download.cirros-cloud.net/>`_ image
* an external network
* a tenant network and router
* security group rules for ICMP, SSH, and TCP ports 8000 and 8080
* an SSH key
* increased quotas
For the external network, use the same subnet as before, with an allocation
pool range containing free IP addresses:
.. code-block:: console
pip install python-openstackclient
export EXT_NET_CIDR=192.168.33.0/24
export EXT_NET_GATEWAY=192.168.33.3
export EXT_NET_RANGE="start=192.168.33.4,end=192.168.33.254"
source "${KOLLA_CONFIG_PATH:-/etc/kolla}/admin-openrc.sh"
${KOLLA_SOURCE_PATH}/tools/init-runonce
Create a server instance, assign a floating IP address, and check that it is
accessible.
.. code-block:: console
openstack server create --image cirros --flavor m1.tiny --key-name mykey --network demo-net demo1
openstack floating ip create public1
The floating IP address is displayed after it is created, in this example it is
``192.168.33.4``:
.. code-block:: console
openstack server add floating ip demo1 192.168.33.4
ssh cirros@192.168.33.4
