Senlin Architecture
|
||||
===================
|
||||
|
||||
Senlin is a service to create and manage clusters of homogeneous resources in
|
||||
an OpenStack cloud. Senlin provides an OpenStack-native ReST API.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
Detailed Description
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
|
||||
What is the purpose of the project and vision for it?
|
||||
|
||||
*Senlin provides a clustering service for OpenStack that manages a collection
|
||||
of nodes that are of the same type.*
|
||||
|
||||
Describe the relevance of the project to other OpenStack projects and the
|
||||
OpenStack mission to provide a ubiquitous cloud computing platform:
|
||||
|
||||
*The Senlin service aggregates resources exposed by other components of
|
||||
OpenStack into a cluster. Such a cluster can be associated with different
|
||||
policies that can be checked/enforced at varying enforcement levels. Through
|
||||
service APIs, a user can dynamically add nodes to and remove nodes from a
|
||||
cluster, attach and detach policies, such as creation policy, deletion policy,
|
||||
load-balancing policy, scaling policy, health checking policy etc. Through
|
||||
integration with other OpenStack projects, users will be enabled to manage
|
||||
deployments and orchestrations large scale resource pools much easier.*
|
||||
*Currently no other clustering service exists for OpenStack. The developers
|
||||
believe cloud developers have a strong desire to create and operate resource
|
||||
clusters on OpenStack deployments. The Heat project provides a preliminary
|
||||
support to resource groups but Heat developers have achieved a consensus that
|
||||
such kind of a service should stand on its own feet.*

||||

||||
Senlin Services
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
|
||||
The developers are focusing on creating an OpenStack style project using
|
||||
OpenStack design tenets, implemented in Python. We have started with a close
|
||||
interaction with Heat project.
|
||||
|
||||
As the developers have only started development in December 2014, the
|
||||
architecture is evolving rapidly.
|
||||
|
||||
senlin
|
||||
------
|
||||
|
||||
The senlin tool is a CLI which communicates with the senlin-api to manage
|
||||
clusters, nodes, profiles, policies and events. End developers could also use
|
||||
the Senlin REST API directly.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
senlin-api
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
The senlin-api component provides an OpenStack-native REST API that processes
|
||||
API requests by sending them to the senlin-engine over RPC.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
senlin-engine
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
The senlin engine's main responsibility is to orchestrate the clusters, nodes,
|
||||
profiles and policies.
