New API Charm

The example below will walk through the creation of a basic API charm for the OpenStack Ironic service designed to run on kubernetes.

Create the skeleton charm

Prerequisite

Build a base geneeric charm with the charmcraft tool.

mkdir charm-ironic-operator
cd charm-ironic-operator
charmcraft init --name sunbeam-ironic-operator

Add ASO common files to new charm. The script will ask a few basic questions:

git clone https://github.com/openstack-charmers/advanced-sunbeam-openstack
cd advanced-sunbeam-openstack/shared_code
./aso-charm-init.sh ~/branches/charm-ironic-operator

This tool is designed to be used after 'charmcraft init' was initially run
service_name [ironic]: ironic
charm_name [sunbeam-ironic-operator]: sunbeam-ironic-operator
ingress_port []: 6385
db_sync_command [] ironic-dbsync --config-file /etc/ironic/ironic.conf create_schema:

Fetch interface libs corresponding to the requires interfaces:

cd charm-ironic-operator
charmcraft login
charmcraft fetch-lib charms.nginx_ingress_integrator.v0.ingress
charmcraft fetch-lib charms.sunbeam_mysql_k8s.v0.mysql
charmcraft fetch-lib charms.sunbeam_keystone_operator.v0.identity_service
charmcraft fetch-lib charms.sunbeam_rabbitmq_operator.v0.amqp
charmcraft fetch-lib charms.observability_libs.v0.kubernetes_service_patch

Templates

Much of the service configuration is covered by common templates which were copied into the charm in the previous step. The only additional template for this charm is for ironic.conf. Add the following into ./src/templates/ironic.conf.j2

[DEFAULT]
debug = {{ options.debug }}
auth_strategy=keystone
transport_url = {{ amqp.transport_url }}

[keystone_authtoken]
{% include "parts/identity-data" %}

[database]
{% include "parts/database-connection" %}

[neutron]
{% include "parts/identity-data" %}

[glance]
{% include "parts/identity-data" %}

[cinder]
{% include "parts/identity-data" %}

[service_catalog]
{% include "parts/identity-data" %}

Make charm deployable

The next step is to pack the charm into a deployable format

cd charm-ironic-operator
charmcraft pack

Deploy Charm

The charm can now be deployed. The Kolla project has images that can be used to run the service. Juju can pull the image directly from dockerhub.

juju deploy ./sunbeam-ironic-operator_ubuntu-20.04-amd64.charm --resource ironic-api-image=kolla/ubuntu-binary-ironic-api:wallaby ironic
juju add-relation ironic mysql
juju add-relation ironic keystone
juju add-relation ironic rabbitmq

Test Service

Check that the juju status shows the charms is active and no error messages are preset. Then check the ironic api service is reponding.

$ juju status ironic
