Swift in Kolla

Overview

Currently Kolla can deploy the "core" services required for a working Swift, in either an AIO or multi node setup:

• swift-proxy
• swift-account
• swift-container
• swift-object

There are a variety of other services such the replicator, expirer, rsyncd, etc. which actually make Swift useful, which are in progress and hope to be finished in liberty-rc1.

Prerequisites

Before running Swift we need to generate "rings", which are binary compressed files that at a high level let the various Swift services know where data is in the cluster. Again, we hope to be able to generate these automatically for liberty-rc1.

Swift also expects block devices to be available and partitioned on the host, which Swift uses in combination with the rings to store data. Swift demos commonly just use directories created under /srv/node to simulate these devices. In order to ease "out of the box" testing of Kolla, we offer a similar setup with a data container. Note, data containers are very inefficient for this purpose. In production setups operators will want to provision disks according to the Swift operator guide, which can then be added the rings and used in Kolla.

For an AIO setup, the following commands can be used, locally, to generate rings containing the data container directories:

export KOLLA_INTERNAL_ADDRESS=1.2.3.4
export KOLLA_BASE_DISTRO=centos
export KOLLA_INSTALL_TYPE=binary

# Object ring
docker run \
  -v /etc/kolla/config/swift/:/etc/kolla/config/swift/ \
  kollaglue/${KOLLA_BASE_DISTRO}-${KOLLA_INSTALL_TYPE}-swift-base \
  swift-ring-builder /etc/kolla/config/swift/object.builder create 10 3 1

for partition in sdb1 sdb2 sdb3; do
  docker run \
    -v /etc/kolla/config/swift/:/etc/kolla/config/swift/ \
    kollaglue/${KOLLA_BASE_DISTRO}-${KOLLA_INSTALL_TYPE}-swift-base swift-ring-builder \
    /etc/kolla/config/swift/object.builder add z1-${KOLLA_INTERNAL_ADDRESS}:6000/${partition} 1;
done

# Account ring
docker run \
  -v /etc/kolla/config/swift/:/etc/kolla/config/swift/ \
  kollaglue/${KOLLA_BASE_DISTRO}-${KOLLA_INSTALL_TYPE}-swift-base \
  swift-ring-builder /etc/kolla/config/swift/account.builder create 10 3 1

for partition in sdb1 sdb2 sdb3; do
  docker run \
    -v /etc/kolla/config/swift/:/etc/kolla/config/swift/ \
    kollaglue/${KOLLA_BASE_DISTRO}-${KOLLA_INSTALL_TYPE}-swift-base swift-ring-builder \
    /etc/kolla/config/swift/account.builder add z1-${KOLLA_INTERNAL_ADDRESS}:6001/${partition} 1;
done

# Container ring
docker run \
  -v /etc/kolla/config/swift/:/etc/kolla/config/swift/ \
  kollaglue/${KOLLA_BASE_DISTRO}-${KOLLA_INSTALL_TYPE}-swift-base \
  swift-ring-builder /etc/kolla/config/swift/container.builder create 10 3 1

for partition in sdb1 sdb2 sdb3; do
  docker run \
    -v /etc/kolla/config/swift/:/etc/kolla/config/swift/ \
    kollaglue/${KOLLA_BASE_DISTRO}-${KOLLA_INSTALL_TYPE}-swift-base swift-ring-builder \
    /etc/kolla/config/swift/container.builder add z1-${KOLLA_INTERNAL_ADDRESS}:6002/${partition} 1;
done

for ring in object account container; do
  docker run \
    -v /etc/kolla/config/swift/:/etc/kolla/config/swift/ \
    kollaglue/${KOLLA_BASE_DISTRO}-${KOLLA_INSTALL_TYPE}-swift-base swift-ring-builder \
    /etc/kolla/config/swift/${ring}.builder rebalance;
done

Similar commands can be used for multinode, you will just need to run the the 'add' step for each IP in the cluster.

For more info, see http://docs.openstack.org/kilo/install-guide/install/apt/content/swift-initial-rings.html

Deploying

Once the rings are in place, deploying Swift is the same as any other Kolla Ansible service. Below is the minimal command to bring up Swift AIO, and it's dependencies:

ansible-playbook \
  -i ansible/inventory/all-in-one \
  -e @/etc/kolla/globals.yml \
  -e @etc/kolla/passwords.yml \
  ansible/site.yml \
  --tags=rabbitmq,mariadb,keystone,swift

Validation

A very basic smoke test:

$ swift stat
                          Account: AUTH_4c19d363b9cf432a80e34f06b1fa5749

                          Bytes: 0
Containers in policy "policy-0": 1
   Objects in policy "policy-0": 0
     Bytes in policy "policy-0": 0
