Ian Wienand 3153f27c24 vos-release: fix key sourcing; disable exclusive key
I wasn't correctly sourcing the key; it has to come from hostvars as
it is in a different play on different hosts.  This fixes it.

We also need to not have the base roles overwrite the authorized_keys
file each time.  The key we provision can only run a limited script
that wraps "vos release".

Unfortunately our gitops falls down a bit here because we don't have
full testing for the AFS servers; put this on the todo list :) I have
run this manually for testing.

vos release with localauth

Install a user and script to do remote vos release with localauth authentication. This can avoid kerberos or AFS timeouts.

This relies on vos_release_keypair which is expected to be a single keypair set previously by hosts in the "mirror-update" group. It will allow that keypair to run /usr/local/bin/vos_release.sh, which filters the incoming command. Releases are expected to be triggered on the update host with:

ssh -i /root/.ssh/id_vos_release afs01.dfw.openstack.org vos release <mirror>.<volume>

Future work, if required

  • Allow multiple hosts to call the release script (i.e. handle multiple keys).
  • Implement locking within vos_release.sh script to prevent too many simulatenous releases.
