aurora cookbook

Chef cookbook for Apache Aurora

Supported Platforms

Only tested on Ubuntu 14.04, with the Folsom Labs deb packages for Aurora. Should be easily adaptable to other Ubuntu and Debian releases.

Attributes

There are a lot of attributes. Please read through attributes/default.rb for the details.

Usage

aurora::scheduler

Make sure you set the cluster name, zookeeper endpoints, mesos master url, and any other important attributes.

Include aurora in your node's run_list:

{
  "run_list": [
    "recipe[aurora::scheduler]"
  ]
}

aurora::slave

Include aurora::slave in your mesos slave node's run_list. You will most likely want to set some attributes (as in, mesos slave attributes) for aurora to use.

For example, this might make sense for a cluster on AWS:

default['mesos']['slave']['flags']['attributes']['host'] = node['hostname']
default['mesos']['slave']['flags']['attributes']['rack'] = node['ec2']['placement_availability_zone']
default['mesos']['slave']['flags']['attributes']['instance_id'] = node['ec2']['instance_id']
default['mesos']['slave']['flags']['attributes']['instance_type'] = node['ec2']['instance_type']

If you want to enable thermos service announcements to zookeeper, you can set some options on the scheduler nodes:

default['aurora']['thermos'] = {
  announcer_enable: true,
  zk_announce_endpoints: 'zk.example.com:2181,zk2.example.com:2181',
  zk_announce_path: '/services'
}
