OpenStack in a snap!

Pete Vander Giessen 960685b91e Added refresh tests Refactored test framework so that we have more flexibility in terms of installing various versions of microstack before and after running some tests. Moved in class "globals" into per instance variables, to avoid broken cases with incomplete cleanup. Added test_refresh.py, plus matching env in tox. Refresh tests will fail currently, because we have some pending issues that break refreshes. Fixing those is a subject for a different commit. Refactored cluster_test.py and control_test.py to use new framework. Should (and do) pass. Framework now cleans up multipass hosts regardless of whether or not the tests passed. Leaning on the .tar.gz for local troubleshooting helps us make it better for in gate troubleshooting. Change-Id: I6a45b39132f5959c2944fe1ebbe10f71408ee777		2019-11-20 21:35:51 +00:00

MicroStack

MicroStack is a single-machine, snap-deployed OpenStack cloud.

Common purposes include:

Development and testing of OpenStack workloads
Continuous integration (CI)
IoT and appliances
Edge clouds (experimental)
Introducing new users to OpenStack

Currently provided OpenStack services are: Nova, Keystone, Glance, Horizon, and Neutron.

MicroStack is frequently updated to provide the latest stable updates of the most recent OpenStack release.

Requirements: You will need at least 2 CPUs, 8 GiB of memory, and 100 GiB of disk space.

See the full MicroStack documentation.

Installation

At this time you can install from the --beta or --edge snap channels:

sudo snap install microstack --classic --beta

Initialisation

Initialisation will set up databases, networks, flavors, an SSH keypair, a CirrOS image, and open ICMP/SSH security groups:

sudo microstack.init --auto

OpenStack client

The OpenStack client is bundled as microstack.openstack. For example:

microstack.openstack network list
microstack.openstack flavor list
microstack.openstack keypair list
microstack.openstack image list
microstack.openstack security group rule list

Creating an instance

To create an instance (called "awesome") based on the CirrOS image:

microstack.launch cirros --name awesome

SSH to an instance

The launch output will show you how to connect to the instance. For the CirrOS image, the user account is 'cirros'.

ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_microstack cirros@<ip-address>

Horizon

The launch output will also provide information for the Horizon dashboard. Its credentials are:

username: admin
password: keystone

Customising and contributing

To customise services and settings, look in the .d directories under /var/snap/microstack/common/etc. You can add services with your package manager, or take a look at CONTRIBUTING.md and make a code based argument for adding a service to the default list.

Reporting a bug

Please report bugs to the MicroStack project on Launchpad.
