drydock_provisioner

A python REST orchestrator to translate a YAML host topology to a provisioned set of hosts and provide a set of cloud-init post-provisioning instructions.

To build and run, first move into the root directory of the repo and run:

$ tox -e genconfig
$ tox -e genpolicy
$ sudo docker build . -t drydock
$ vi etc/drydock/drydock.conf # Customize configuration
$ sudo docker run -d -v $(pwd)/etc/drydock:/etc/drydock -P --name='drydock' drydock
$ DDPORT=$(sudo docker port drydock 8000/tcp | awk -F ':' '{ print $NF }')
$ curl -v http://localhost:${DDPORT}/api/v1.0/designs

See Configuring Drydock for details on customizing the configuration. To be useful, Drydock needs to operate in a realistic topology and has some required downstream services.

  • A VM running Canonical MaaS v2.2+
  • A functional Openstack Keystone instance w/ the v3 API
  • Docker running to start the Drydock image (can be co-located on the MaaS VM)
  • A second VM or Baremetal Node to provision via Drydock
    • Baremetal needs to be able to PXE boot
    • Preferrably Baremetal will have an IPMI OOB interface
    • Either VM or Baremetal will need to have one interface on the same L2 network (LAN or VLAN) as the MaaS VM

See the Getting Started guide for instructions.

Modular service

Design Consumer

aka ingester

Pluggable service to ingest a inventory/design specification, convert it to a standard internal representaion, and persist it to the Design State API. Initial implementation is the consumer of YAML schema.

Design State API

aka statemgmt

API for querying and updating the current design specification and persisted orchestration status. CRUD support of CIs that are not bootstrap-related, but can be used by other automation.

Control API

aka control

User-approachable API for initiating orchestration actions or accessing other internal APIs

Infrastructure Orchestrator

aka orchestrator

Handle validation of complete design, ordering and managing downstream API calls for hardware provisioning/bootstrapping

OOB Driver

Pluggable provider for server OOB (ILO) management

aka driver/oob

Node Driver

aka driver/node

Pluggable provisioner for server bootstrapping. Initial implementation is MaaS client.

Introspection API

aka introspection

API for bootstrapping nodes to load self data. Possibly pluggable as this is basically an authenticated bridge to the Design State API
