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 CodeReady Containers

If you want to develop with an OpenShift 4 provider, CodeReady Containers (CRC) is a great option. It provides all of benefits as minishift (a simple single vm openshift on your development machine) but is an OpenShift v4 cluster.

Requirements

Quickstart

  1. Download ane extract the latest release of CRC

    tar xfJ crc-linux-amd64.tar.xz

  2. Copy the crc binary to a location on your PATH

    sudo install crc-linux-2.39.0-amd64/crc /usr/local/bin/crc
which crc
/usr/local/bin/crc

  3. Setup and start CRC (it will ask for an image pull secret which you can get from cloud.redhat.com)

    crc setup
INFO Checking if oc binary is cached
...

Setup is complete, you can now run 'crc start' to start the OpenShift cluster
crc start
...
? Image pull secret [? for help]

  4. Login to the cluster with oc, the command will be printed when crc start finishes or you can call crc console --credentials

    crc console --credentials
oc login -u kubeadmin -p KUBEADMING_PASSWORD https://api.crc.testing:6443

  5. Now you can setup the project and service account for use with ManageIQ by following the documentation: https://www.manageiq.org/docs/reference/latest/managing_providers/containers_providers/red_hat_openshift_providers.html

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/crc.
    Have minishift or crc 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.
