(DEPRECATED) Deploying OpenShift

Note

This functionality was removed as of Train.

You can use TripleO to deploy OpenShift clusters onto baremetal nodes. TripleO deploys the operating system onto the nodes and uses openshift-ansible to then configure OpenShift. TripleO can also be used to manage the baremetal nodes.

Define the OpenShift roles

TripleO installs OpenShift services using composable roles for OpenShiftMaster, OpenShiftWorker, and OpenShiftInfra. When you import a baremetal node using instackenv.json, you can tag it to use a certain composable role. See Custom Roles for more information.

  1. Generate the OpenShift roles:

openstack overcloud roles generate -o /home/stack/openshift_roles_data.yaml \
  OpenShiftMaster OpenShiftWorker OpenShiftInfra
  1. View the OpenShift roles:

openstack overcloud role list

The result should include entries for OpenShiftMaster, OpenShiftWorker, and OpenShiftInfra.

  1. See more information on the OpenShiftMaster role:

openstack overcloud role show OpenShiftMaster

Note

For development or PoC environments that are more resource-constrained, it is possible to use the OpenShiftAllInOne role to collocate the different OpenShift services on the same node. The all-in-one role is not recommended for production.

Create the OpenShift profiles

This procedure describes how to enroll a physical node as an OpenShift node.

  1. Create a flavor for each OpenShift role. You will need to adjust this values to suit your requirements:

openstack flavor create --id auto --ram 4096 --disk 40 --vcpus 1 --swap 500 m1.OpenShiftMaster
openstack flavor create --id auto --ram 4096 --disk 40 --vcpus 1 --swap 500 m1.OpenShiftWorker
openstack flavor create --id auto --ram 4096 --disk 40 --vcpus 1 --swap 500 m1.OpenShiftInfra
  1. Map the flavors to the required profile:

openstack flavor set --property "capabilities:profile"="OpenShiftMaster" \
  --property "capabilities:boot_option"="local" m1.OpenShiftMaster
openstack flavor set --property "capabilities:profile"="OpenShiftWorker" \
  --property "capabilities:boot_option"="local" m1.OpenShiftWorker
openstack flavor set --property "capabilities:profile"="OpenShiftInfra" \
  --property "capabilities:boot_option"="local" m1.OpenShiftInfra
  1. Add your nodes to instackenv.json. You will need to define them to use the capabilities field. For example:

[{
    "arch":"x86_64",
    "cpu":"4",
    "disk":"60",
    "mac":[
            "00:0c:29:9f:5f:05"
    ],
    "memory":"16384",
    "pm_type":"ipmi",
    "capabilities":"profile:OpenShiftMaster",
    "name": "OpenShiftMaster_1"
},
{
    "arch":"x86_64",
    "cpu":"4",
    "disk":"60",
    "mac":[
            "00:0c:29:91:b9:2d"
    ],
    "memory":"16384",
    "pm_type":"ipmi",
    "capabilities":"profile:OpenShiftWorker",
    "name": "OpenShiftWorker_1"
},
{
    "arch":"x86_64",
    "cpu":"4",
    "disk":"60",
    "mac":[
            "00:0c:29:91:b9:6a"
    ],
    "memory":"16384",
    "pm_type":"ipmi",
    "capabilities":"profile:OpenShiftInfra",
    "name": "OpenShiftInfra_1"
}]
  1. Import and introspect the TripleO nodes as you normally would for your deployment. For example:

openstack overcloud node import ~/instackenv.json
openstack overcloud node introspect --all-manageable --provide
  1. Verify the overcloud nodes have assigned the correct profile

Configure the container registry

Follow container image preparation to configure TripleO for the container image preparation.

This generally means generating a /home/stack/containers-prepare-parameter.yaml file:

openstack tripleo container image prepare default \
  --local-push-destination \
  --output-env-file containers-prepare-parameter.yaml

Define the OpenShift environment

Create the openshift_env.yaml file. This file will define the OpenShift-related settings that TripleO will later apply as part of the openstack overcloud deploy procedure. You will need to update these values to suit your deployment:

Parameter_defaults:
# by default TripleO assigns the VIP random from the allocation pool
# by using the FixedIPs we can set the VIPs to predictable IPs before starting the deployment
CloudName: public.openshift.localdomain
PublicVirtualFixedIPs: [{'ip_address':'10.0.0.200'}]

CloudNameInternal: internal.openshift.localdomain
InternalApiVirtualFixedIPs: [{'ip_address':'172.17.1.200'}]

CloudDomain: openshift.localdomain

OpenShiftGlobalVariables:

    openshift_master_identity_providers:
        - name: 'htpasswd_auth'
          login: 'true'
          challenge: 'true'
          kind: 'HTPasswdPasswordIdentityProvider'
    openshift_master_htpasswd_users:
        sysadmin: '$apr1$jpBOUqeU$X4jUsMyCHOOp8TFYtPq0v1'

    #openshift_master_cluster_hostname should match the CloudNameInternal parameter
    openshift_master_cluster_hostname: internal.openshift.localdomain

    #openshift_master_cluster_public_hostname should match the CloudName parameter
    openshift_master_cluster_public_hostname: public.openshift.localdomain

    openshift_master_default_subdomain: apps.openshift.localdomain

For custom networks or customer interfaces, it is necessary to use custom network interface templates:

resource_registry:
    OS::TripleO::OpenShiftMaster::Net::SoftwareConfig: /home/stack/master-nic.yaml
    OS::TripleO::OpenShiftWorker::Net::SoftwareConfig: /home/stack/worker-nic.yaml
    OS::TripleO::OpenShiftInfra::Net::SoftwareConfig: /home/stack/infra-nic.yaml

Deploy OpenShift nodes

As a result of the previous steps, you will have three new YAML files:

  • openshift_env.yaml

  • openshift_roles_data.yaml

  • containers-default-parameters.yaml

For a custom network deployments, maybe it is necessary NICs and network templates like:

  • master-nic.yaml

  • infra-nic.yaml

  • worker-nic.yaml

  • network_data_openshift.yaml

Add these YAML files to your openstack overcloud deploy command.

An example for CNS deployments:

openstack overcloud deploy \
  --stack openshift \
  --templates \
  -r /home/stack/openshift_roles_data.yaml \
  -n /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/network_data_openshift.yaml \
  -e /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/environments/network-isolation.yaml \
  -e /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/environments/openshift.yaml \
  -e /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/environments/openshift-cns.yaml \
  -e /home/stack/openshift_env.yaml \
  -e /home/stack/containers-prepare-parameter.yaml

An example for non-CNS deployments:

openstack overcloud deploy \
  --stack openshift \
  --templates \
  -r /home/stack/openshift_roles_data.yaml \
  -n /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/network_data_openshift.yaml \
  -e /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/environments/network-isolation.yaml \
  -e /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/environments/openshift.yaml \
  -e /home/stack/openshift_env.yaml \
  -e /home/stack/containers-prepare-parameter.yaml

Deployment for custom networks or interfaces, it is necessary to specify them. For example:

openstack overcloud deploy \
  --stack openshift \
  --templates \
  -r /home/stack/openshift_roles_data.yaml \
  -n /home/stack/network_data_openshift.yaml \
  -e /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/environments/network-isolation.yaml \
  -e /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/environments/openshift.yaml \
  -e /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/environments/openshift-cns.yaml \
  -e /home/stack/openshift_env.yaml \
  -e /home/stack/containers-prepare-parameter.yaml \
  -e /home/stack/custom-nics.yaml

Review the OpenShift deployment

Once the overcloud deploy procedure has completed, you can review the state of your OpenShift nodes.

  1. List all your baremetal nodes. You should expect to see your master, infra, and worker nodes.

    openstack baremetal node list
    
  2. Locate the OpenShift node:

    openstack server list
    
  3. SSH to the OpenShift node. For example:

    ssh heat-admin@192.168.122.43
    
  4. Change to root user:

    sudo -i
    
  5. Review the container orchestration configuration:

    cat .kube/config
    
  6. Login to OpenShift:

    oc login -u admin
    
  7. Review any existing projects:

    oc get projects
    
  8. Review the OpenShift status:

    oc status
    
  9. Logout from OpenShift:

    oc logout
    

Deploy a test app using OpenShift

This procedure describes how to create a test application in your new OpenShift deployment.

  1. Login as a developer:

    $ oc login -u developer
    Logged into "https://192.168.64.3:8443" as "developer" using existing credentials.
    You have one project on this server: "myproject"
    Using project "myproject".
    
  2. Create a new project:

    $ oc new-project test-project
    Now using project "test-project" on server "https://192.168.64.3:8443".
    

    You can add applications to this project with the ‘new-app’ command. For example, to build a new example application in Ruby try:

    $ oc new-app centos/ruby-22-centos7~https://github.com/openshift/ruby-ex.git
    
  3. Create a new app. This example creates a CakePHP application:

    $ oc new-app https://github.com/sclorg/cakephp-ex
    --> Found image 9dd8c80 (29 hours old) in image stream "openshift/php" under tag "7.1" for "php"
    
        Apache 2.4 with PHP 7.1
        -----------------------
        PHP 7.1 available as container is a base platform for building and running various PHP 7.1 applications and frameworks. PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. PHP attempts to make it easy for developers to write dynamically generated web pages. PHP also offers built-in database integration for several commercial and non-commercial database management systems, so writing a database-enabled webpage with PHP is fairly simple. The most common use of PHP coding is probably as a replacement for CGI scripts.
