ManageIQ Openshift Container Provider

Two deployment options are suggested here to deploy an openshift origin provider for ManageIQ:

You can also use oc cluster up and configure it yourself (instructions not provided) as another alternative.

Deploying OpenShift With Ansible

Get openshift-ansible:

$ git clone https://github.com/openshift/openshift-ansible.git

Generate an ssh key if needed:

$ ssh-keygen

Configure ssh key authentication to all the machines:

$ ssh-copy-id root@hostname

The inventory file describes all the nodes and masters in the cluster. A simple example file for a cluster composed of two machines (Master and Node):

[OSEv3:children]
masters
nodes
 
[OSEv3:vars]
ansible_ssh_user=root
deployment_type=origin
 
[masters]
master_hostname openshift_scheduleable=True
 
[nodes]
master_hostname
node_hostname

There are more like variables like use_metrics to enable other options in OpenShift. A more detailed example can be found in inventory/byo/hosts.origin.example. Specifically, to deploy metrics and logging use openshift_hosted_metrics_deploy=True and openshift_hosted_logging_deploy=True

$ ansible-playbook playbooks/byo/config.yml -i path/to/inventory/file

Running with minishift

For a simple single host setup for working with the openshift provider locally, you can use minishift to run a local openshift instance.

Requirements

Quickstart

Since VirtualBox is a consistent hypervisor across all platforms, this guide will assume that is being used, and updates to some commands might be necessary (most commands should be virtualization software agnostic and work regardless of the hypervisor).

  1. Download and enable the manageiq addon for minishift:
$ mkdir -p ~/minishift/addons
$ git clone https://gist.github.com/e2fac8be87ea0e9f429b6f5d75e02176 ~/minishift/addons/manageiq
$ minishift addons install --force ~/minishift/addons/manageiq
$ minishift addons enable manageiq
  1. Start minishift:
$ minishift start --vm-driver virtualbox --openshift-version "v3.6.1"

You might want to add --metrics --memory 5G. As of this writing that only supports hawkular and doesn't work on 3.7.0.

See https://hub.docker.com/r/openshift/origin/tags/ for possible versions.

  1. Grab the minishift IP:
$ minishift ip
  1. Add oc and/or docker to your PATH, configured to the cluster (auto-detects correct shell):
$ eval $(minishift oc-env)
$ eval $(minishift docker-env)
  1. Grab the token to access openshift through manageiq:
$ oc login -u system:admin
$ oc sa get-token -n management-infra management-admin
  1. Configure a provider in ManageIQ, filling in your token and IP where appropriate:
$ bin/rails c
irb> token = '<<YOUR_TOKEN_FROM_ABOVE_HERE>>'
irb> host  = '<<YOUR_IP_FROM_ABOVE_HERE>>'
irb> os = ManageIQ::Providers::Openshift::ContainerManager
irb> os.create(:name => "Minishift", :hostname => host, :port => 8443, :ipaddress => host, :zone => Zone.first, :storage_profiles => [], :security_protocol => "ssl-without-validation")
irb> os.last.update_authentication(:bearer => {:auth_key => token, :save => true})

Or through the UI if you prefer.

Automated script to record new VCR

ManageIQ/manageiq-providers-openshift#75 added a script that creates things from template, records 1st vcr, deletes some things, records 2nd.

Currently if you want to copy VCR to manageiq-providers-kubernetes, the spec there assumes Hawkular metrics were running.

  • Easiest to use script with minishift.
    Have minishift in your PATH. As described above, including manageiq addon. Don't need --metrics.

  • Alternatively bring your own openshift. Set OPENSHIFT_MASTER_HOST env var. Perform oc login as a user having cluster-admin role.

Then run in manageiq-providers-openshift repo:

./spec/vcr_cassettes/manageiq/providers/openshift/container_manager/test_objects_record.sh

You may need to adjust specs if object counts and/or names changed (ideally, figure out why and how to make it more reproducible).

There are text files near the .yml files that help tracking what changed vs previous VCRs, commit them together.
