# Shipyard
|
||||
Shipyard is the directed acyclic graph controller for Kubernetes and
|
||||
OpenStack control plane life cycle management, and a component of the
|
||||
Undercloud Platform (UCP)
|
||||
|
||||
Shipyard provides the entrypoint for the following aspects of the
|
||||
control plane established by the UCP:
|
||||
|
||||
<dl>
|
||||
<dt>
|
||||
Designs and Secrets
|
||||
</dt>
|
||||
<dd>
|
||||
Site designs, including the configuration of bare metal host
|
||||
nodes, network design, operating systems, Kubernetes nodes,
|
||||
Armada manifests, Helm charts, and any other descriptors that
|
||||
define the build out of a group of servers enter the UCP via
|
||||
Shipyard. Secrets, such as passwords and certificates use the
|
||||
same mechanism. <br />
|
||||
The designs and secrets are stored in UCP's Deckhand,
|
||||
providing for version history and secure storage among other
|
||||
document-based conveniences.
|
||||
</dd>
|
||||
<dt>
|
||||
Actions
|
||||
</dt>
|
||||
<dd>
|
||||
Interaction with the site's control plane is done via
|
||||
invocation of actions in Shipyard. Each action is backed by
|
||||
a workflow implemented as a directed acyclic graph (DAG) that
|
||||
runs using Apache Airflow. Shipyard provides a mechanism to
|
||||
monitor and control the execution of the workflow.

## Intgration Points:
|
||||
[OpenStack Identity (Keystone)](https://github.com/openstack/keystone)
|
||||
provides authentication and support for role based authorization.
|
||||
\
|
||||
[Apache Airflow](https://airflow.incubator.apache.org/) provides the
|
||||
framework and automation of workflows provided by Shipyard.
|
||||
\
|
||||
[PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org/) is used to persist
|
||||
information to correlate workflows with users and history of workflow
|
||||
commands.
|
||||
\
|
||||
[Deckhand](https://github.com/att-comdev/deckhand) supplies storage
|
||||
and mangement of site designs and secrets
|
||||
\
|
||||
[Drydock](https://github.com/att-comdev/drydock) is orchestrated by
|
||||
Shipyard to perform bare metal node provisioning.
|
||||
\
|
||||
[Promenade](https://github.com/att-comdev/promenade) is indirectly
|
||||
orchestrated by Shipyard to configure and join Kubernetes nodes
|
||||
\
|
||||
[Armada](https://github.com/att-comdev/armada) is orchestrated by
|
||||
Shipyard to deploy and test Kubernetes workloads
|
||||
|
||||
