OpenStack cluster with Ansible-provisioning

It provides a series of Ansible playbooks for installing, managing and maintaining OpenStack powered clouds. it was cloned from https://github.com/blueboxgroup/ursula with the following fixes:

• Use the git global preferences to turn off SSL verification(git config --global http.sslVerify false )
• validate_certs=no
• Update neutron db(neutron-db-manage --config-file /etc/neutron/neutron.conf --config-file /etc/neutronugins/ml2/ml2_plugin.ini upgrade head)

With the master branch of the playbook, which is currently tied to the base OpenStack Juno release, this supports deploying to Ubuntu 12.04 for all-in-one and multi-node support with neutron network.

Install Dependencies

$ apt-get install python-pip
$ apt-get install autoconf g++ python2.7-dev
$ apt-get install python-dev
$ apt-get install libxml2-dev
$ apt-get install libxstl-dev

Prepare Repos

curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/blueboxcloud/giftwrap/script.deb.sh | sudo bash

Supported Deployments

• All-in-One
• Multi-Node

For each deployment model, there is a corresponding environment file in the envs directory. Please modify the related configuration before deploying the cloud.

Install Ansible

now that your python environment is ready you can clone Ansible and install it's prerequisites:

$ cd ~/development
$ git clone https://github.com/openstacks/ansible.git
$ cd ursula/src/ansible
$ python setup.py install

Deploy Openstack

Modify Openstack environment file

One of the modifications that we have made to Ansible is the ability to have a seperate path that includes all of the configuration options for your OpenStack deployment[s]. An example of this can be found in /envs/example

If you look in the /envs/example path you'll see a defaults.yml file and a series of directories each representing a different OpenStack deployment.

We then utilize the standard Ansible features by having group_vars, host_vars, and a hosts file.

Performing a deployment

The simplest example deployment is allinone which is a single server deployment that acts as both a controller and a compute node.

$ ursula envs/example/allinone site.yml

TODOs

• Better instructions for multi-node network setup
