Initiative

Introduction

  • The first release of StarlingX provided a hardened OpenStack platform
  • Evolution plan to move to a cloud native (Kubernetes) platform was presented at the Vancouver Summit
    • Run the infrastructure including OpenStack services as containerized applications on Kubernetes
    • Containerization work is planned to be done in phases having OpenStack and dependencies the initial focus

Container Platform

  • Kubernetes master configuration on two nodes with high availability (HA)
    • Run on existing StarlingX nodes
    • Deployed by StarlingX system configuration
  • Calico CNI plugin
  • Docker runtime
  • CEPH as persistent storage backend
    • Leverage existing bare metal CEPH cluster
    • Extend CEPH support to one- and two-node configuration
  • Authentication/authorization of Kubernetes APIs with Keystone
  • Local Docker image registry, authentication with Keystone
  • Helm as package manager
  • Airship Armada for orchestrating the deployment of multiple Helm charts (ex. OpenStack)
  • Initial Kubernetes hosting environment for applications, the infrastructure including OpenStack will also be containerized

Initial Infrastructure Containerization

Overview

  • The "Flock" services with the exceptions called out later are not planned to be containerized for the initial phase
  • An instance of Keystone, RabbitMQ, and PostgreSQL will remain on bare metal and will be used for the "Flock" service
  • An instance of Horizon will remain on bare metal for the "Flock" services only

OpenStack services

  • All OpenStack services currently integrated by StarlingX are planned to be containerized
    • Including dependencies such as MariaDB
    • Pike based
  • nova-api proxy from stx-nfv will be containerized
  • rbd-provisioner pod: enabling pvc's from the CEPH cluster
  • An instance of the Fault Management service will be containerized for alarming in OpenStack
  • Keystone container will run in the 'openstack' namespace for the OpenStack services only
