Hi All,
Something we discussed at the summit was to switch the focus of
tripleo's deployment method to deploy using instack using images built
with tripleo-puppet-elements. Up to now all the instack work has been
done downstream of tripleo as part of rdo. Having parts of our
deployment story outside of upstream gives us problems mainly because it
becomes very difficult to CI what we expect deployers to use while we're
developing the upstream parts.
Essentially what I'm talking about here is pulling instack-undercloud
upstream along with a few of its dependency projects (instack,
tripleo-common, tuskar-ui-extras etc..) into tripleo and using them in
our CI in place of devtest.
Getting our CI working with instack is close to working but has taken
longer then I expected because of various complications and distractions
but I hope to have something over the next few days that we can use to
replace devtest in CI, in a lot of ways this will start out by taking a
step backwards but we should finish up in a better place where we will
be developing (and running CI on) what we expect deployers to use.
Once I have something that works I think it makes sense to drop the jobs
undercloud-precise-nonha and overcloud-precise-nonha, while switching
overcloud-f21-nonha to use instack, this has a few effects that need to
be called out
1. We will no longer be running CI on (and as a result not supporting)
most of the the bash based elements
2. We will no longer be running CI on (and as a result not supporting)
ubuntu
Should anybody come along in the future interested in either of these
things (and prepared to put the time in) we can pick them back up again.
In fact the move to puppet element based images should mean we can more
easily add in extra distros in the future.
3. While we find our feet we should remove all tripleo-ci jobs from non
tripleo projects, once we're confident with it we can explore adding our
jobs back into other projects again
Nothing has changed yet, I order to check we're all on the same page
this is high level details of how I see things should proceed so shout
now if I got anything wrong or you disagree.
Ok, I have a POC that has worked end to end in our CI environment[1],
there are a *LOT* of workarounds in there so before we can merge it I
need to clean up and remove some of those workarounds and todo that a
few things need to move around, below is a list of what has to happen
(as best I can tell)
1) Pull in tripleo-heat-template spec changes to master delorean
We had two patches in the tripleo-heat-template midstream packaging that
havn't made it into the master packaging, these are
https://review.gerrithub.io/241056 Package firstboot and extraconfig
templates
https://review.gerrithub.io/241057 Package environments and newtork
directories
2) Fixes for instack-undercloud (I didn't push these directly incase it
effected people on old versions of puppet modules)
https://github.com/rdo-management/instack-undercloud/pull/5
3) Add packaging for various repositories into openstack-packaging
I've pulled the packaging for 5 repositories into
https://github.com/openstack-packages
https://github.com/openstack-packages/python-ironic-inspector-client
https://github.com/openstack-packages/python-rdomanager-oscplugin
https://github.com/openstack-packages/tuskar-ui-extras
https://github.com/openstack-packages/ironic-discoverd
https://github.com/openstack-packages/tripleo-common
I havn't imported these into gerrithub (incase following discussion we
need to delete them again) but assuming we're in agreement we should
pull them into gerrithub)
4) update rdoinfo
https://github.com/redhat-openstack/rdoinfo/pull/69
If everybody is happy with all above we should merge this, all of the
packages needed will now be on the delorean master repository
5) Move DELOREAN_REPO_URL in tripleo-ci to a new delorean repo that
includes all of the new packages
6) Take most of the workarounds out of this patch[1] and merge it
7) Reorg the tripleo ci tests (essentially remove all of the bash
element based tests).
8) Pull instack, instack-undercloud, python-rdomanager-oscplugin,
triple-common, tuskar-ui-extras and maybe more into the upstream gerrit
From here on the way to run the tripleo will be to follow the
documentation in instack-undercloud, we should no longer be using
devtest, this means we've lost the automation devtest gave us, so we
will have to slowly build that up again. The main thing we have gained
is that we will now be developing upstream all parts of how we expect
deployers to use tripleo.
- we will still have dependencies on tripleo-incubator we need to remove
these (or move things into other repositories), essentially were
finished with this process once we're no longer installing the "tripleo"
package.
- The new CI (as is) is running on Fedora jenkins nodes but building
(and deploying) centos images, we also discussed that some people would
want to develop on Fedora we will have to create a Fedora job as well
(which I'm sure will involve the need for adding Fedora support into
instack)
Everything in the first 4 steps is ready to go now, once done we can
investigate moving DELOREAN_REPO_URL and remove the workarounds from the
CI patch.
Thanks,
Derek
