OpenStack on CoreOS Cluster

CoreOS provide ease of cluster managing such as fault tolerance and scaleability features. OpenStack operation need to high availability features in real world. So I am trying to make docker container according to CoreOS for OpenStack Operation Environments.

  • Controller / Network / Compute Service Start Automation
  • When a server failure using shared disk (such as NFS on gluster filesystem), minimize the data lose after restart the service. (MySQL Data, Glance Images, Nova Instances etc.)
  • CoreOS etcd and fleet service provide by a rapid recovery, and easy scalability server node.

And also OpenStack is obtaining using Docker/CoreOS the following advatages :

  • Easy to Deploy
  • Easy to Test
  • Easy to Scale-out
  • Fault Tolerance

Cluster Configuration

The sample cluster consists 4 group.

  • controller : 3-node cluster (role of controller)
  • network : 2-node cluster (role of neutron)
  • compute : 2-node cluster (role of compute)
  • nova-docker : 2-node cluster (role of nova-docker)

Test Environments

#####Install dependencies

This is a muti-node cluster proof-of-concept that includes setting up the external connectivity to VMs using Virtualbox environment. We have to setup for Virtualbox network option is as follows:

  1. Open Virtualbox

  2. Navigate to the Network Preferences

  3. Create a new NAT Network and name it “NatNetwork”, Edit Network CIDR "10.0.5.0/24" and Unselect “supports DHCP”

#####Usage of Network Interface:

Device Role IP Range
eth0 NAT (Default Route) 10.0.2.XX
eth1 External Network (The above special setting of NAT) 10.0.5.XX
eth2 Tunneling 172.16.0.XX
eth3 Data Management 192.168.10.XX

Docker Container

Controller Image
  • Image Name : continuse/openstack-controller:juno continuse/openstack-controller:kilo
  • provide service : MySQL, RabbitMQ, Keystone, Glance, Nova, Neutron
Network Image
  • Image Name : continuse/openstack-network:juno continuse/openstack-network:kilo
  • provide service : Distributed Virtual Router / L3 HA with VxLAN
Compute Image
  • Images Name : continuse/openstack-compute:juno continuse/openstack-compute:kilo
  • provide service : Libvirt, Nova, Netron
Nova-docker Image
  • Images Name : continuse/openstack-nova-docker:juno continuse/openstack-nova-docker:kilo
  • provide service : Nova, Netron, Docker Driver

Currently, these images support Operating System is only CoreOS, but I plan to develop for any Linux that supports Docker Service.In addition, I will update for the other services of OpenStack, such as swift, cinder service etc.

CoreOS Installation

My development environment is as VirtualBox and Vagrant on Mac OSX (dual core i5 and 16G memory). Please refer to the website https://coreos.com about CoreOS installation.

The below installation procedure is an example of my development environment.

  1. Update "discovery URL" in cluster/controller/user-data file
  • getting the discovery URL
$ curl -w "\n" 'https://discovery.etcd.io/new?size=3'
https://discovery.etcd.io/6a28e078895c5ec737174db2419bb2f3
  • Be sure to replace <token> with your discovery URL
coreos:
  etcd:
    # generate a new token for each unique cluster from https://discovery.etcd.io/new
    # WARNING: replace each time you 'vagrant destroy'
    discovery: <token>
  1. Update your Timezone in
  • cluster/controller/user-data
  • cluster/network/user-data
  • cluster/compute/user-data
  • cluster/nova-docker/user-data

You will need to modify the set-timezeone field in your timezone. The default value is Asia/Seoul.

  1. config.rb

There is no need to change the general configuration.

The number of servers in the cluster.

# Size of the CoreOS cluster created by Vagrant
$num_instances=3

choose for CoreOS (stable, beta or alpha)

# Official CoreOS channel from which updates should be downloaded
$update_channel='stable'

Set Up for VirtualBox VMs

For testing, vm_memory is over 2048, and vb_cpus is over 2.

#$vb_gui = false
$vb_memory = 2048
$vb_cpus = 2
  1. Update Vagrant Vagrantfile

Do NOT EDIT "Vagrantfile" except for NFS mount path for test.

  • cluster/controller/Vagrantfile
  • cluster/network/Vagrantfile
  • cluster/compute/Vagrantfile
  • cluster/nova-docker/Vagrantfile

NFS Mount

config.vm.synced_folder "~/test/cluster/continuse", "/continuse", id: "root", :nfs => true, :mount_options =>  ["nolock,vers=3,udp"], :map_uid => 0, :map_gid => 0
  1. Start the machine(s)
$ cd $HOME/test/controller
$ vagrant up
.......
$ cd ../network
$ vagrant up
.......
$ cd ../compute
$ vagrant up
.......
$ cd ../nova-docker
$ vagrant up

During procedures for vagrant up need to your admin password for NFS mount.

List the status the running machines of each directory (controller, network, compute, nova-docker:

$ vagrant status
Current machine states:

controller-01                   running (virtualbox)
controller-02                   running (virtualbox)
controller-03                   running (virtualbox)

You can connect to one of the machines the following vagrant ssh command:

$ vagrant ssh controller-01 -- -A

Pulling the docker container images

I could not use attached storage for docker. (refer to https://coreos.com/docs/cluster-management/setup/mounting-storage/#use-attached-storage-for-docker). Because my test environment does not support btrfs file system device.

controller image

Download for All nodes (controller-01, controller-02, controller-03)

On Mac
$ cd $HOME/test/controller
$ vagrant ssh controller-03 -- -A

On CoreOS
$ sudo docker pull continuse/openstack-controller:juno (or kilo)

network image

Download for All nodes (network-01, network-02)

On Mac
$ cd $HOME/test/network
$ vagrant ssh network-01 -- -A

On CoreOS
$ sudo docker pull continuse/openstack-network:juno (or kilo)

compute image

Download for All nodes (compute-01, compute-02)

On Mac
$ cd $HOME/test/compute
$ vagrant ssh compute-01 -- -A

On CoreOS
$ sudo docker pull continuse/openstack-compute:juno (or kilo)

nova-docker image

Download for All nodes (nova-docker-01, nova-docker-02)

On Mac
$ cd $HOME/test/nova-docker
$ vagrant ssh nova-docker-01 -- -A

On CoreOS
$ sudo docker pull continuse/openstack-nova-docker:juno (or kilo)

If you do not the pulling images, it takes a lot of time at the beginning of services.

Service File Modification

First, connect to one of the machines

$ vagrant ssh controller-01 -- -A

Neutron Service provide Distributed Virtual Router and L3 HA options. This docker images can configured to select one.

If you want to configure Distributed Virtual Router, to modify ""--env HA_MODE=DVR" option in three files.

If you want to configure L3 HA, to modify ""--env HA_MODE=L3_HA" option in 4 files.

  • /continuse/service/controller.service
  • /continuse/service/network.service
  • /continuse/service/compute.service
  • /continuse/service/nova-docker.service

NOTE: MUST BE THE SAME for the same environment variable at the three service files.

example) If you want to configure HA_MODE=DVR, ALL service files (controller.service, network.service, compute.service, nova-docker.service) set to HA_MODE=DVR as the same.

Data Initialization

YOU MUST BE DATA INITIALIZATION, AFTER THE CHAGE HA_MODE VALUE.

  • Glance Image Data Remove

      $ rm -rf /continuse/shared/glance/*
    
  • MySQL Data Remove $ rm -rf /continuse/shared/mysql/*

  • Nova Instance Data Remove $ rm -rf /continuse/shared/nova/*

Usage

Nova-docker driver is provided separately as Nova-compute service with libvirt/KVM-qemu.

Please refer to Nova-Docker Driver Usage

Service Start / Stop / Destroy

connect to one of the machines:

controller service start

On Mac
$ cd $HOME/abc/coreos
$ vagrant ssh controller-01 -- -A

On CoreOS
Last login: Fri Apr  3 12:11:03 2015 from 10.0.2.2
CoreOS stable (607.0.0)
$ cd /continuse/service
$ fleetctl start controller.service

network service start (2 node service start for HA)

$ fleetctl start network.service

compute service start

$ fleetctl start compute.service

The unit should have been scheduled to a machine in your cluster. You can know which machine run the service.

$ fleetctl list-units
UNIT			       MACHINE         	        ACTIVE	SUB
compute.service	   68b75b56.../192.168.10.31	active	running
controller.service	01df5f39.../192.168.10.13	active	running
network.service	   154fea9e.../192.168.10.21	active	running
network.service	   0d348a8e.../192.168.10.22	active	running

service stop

If you want to stop the service. The stop means that stop the service, but service information remains the cluster.

$ fleetctl stop controller.service
$ fleetctl stop network.service
$ fleetctl stop compute.service

service destroy

This command effective that the service information removed from the cluster.

$ fleetctl destroy controller.service
$ fleetctl destroy [email protected]

###Log Monitoring You can view a log of each service in a realtime.

$ fleetctl journal -f controller.service
$ journalctl -u network.service -f
$ journalctl -u compute.service -f

###Login to controller / Network / Compute Node You can get the IP Address through the fleetctl list-unins command for the controller host.

$ fleetctl list-units
UNIT			    MACHINE				        ACTIVE	SUB
compute.service	    68b75b56.../192.168.10.31	active	running 
controller.service 	01df5f39.../192.168.10.13	active	running  
network.service	    154fea9e.../192.168.10.21	active	running  
network.service	    0d348a8e.../192.168.10.22	active	running  

login to controller running host

$ vagrant ssh controller-03 -- -A
on CoreOS
$ connect

Network / Compute Node connection method

=== Network Node ===
login to network-01 or network-03

$ nova secgroup-add-rule default tcp 22 22 0.0.0.0/0
$ nova secgroup-add-rule default icmp -1 -1 0.0.0.0/0 

External Network and Subnet Creation

neutron net-create public --router:external True \
    --provider:network_type flat \
    --provider:physical_network external

neutron subnet-create --name public-subnet \
    --gateway 10.0.5.1 \

neutron net-create private
neutron subnet-create --name private-subnet private \
    10.10.0.0/24 --dns-nameserver 10.0.5.1

Router Creation (HA_MODE=L3_HA)

neutron router-create router  --ha True
neutron router-interface-add router private-subnet
neutron router-gateway-set router public

Router Creation (HA_MODE=DVR)

neutron router-create router  --ha False
neutron router-interface-add router private-subnet
neutron router-gateway-set router public

Keypair Generation

nova keypair-add myKey > myKey.pem
chmod 0600 myKey.pem

###Using Dashboard You can get the IP Address through the fleetctl list-unins command for the controller host. Access the dashboard using a web browser: http://controller-ip-addr/horizon/. For instance http://192.168.10.13/horizon/ (ID : admin, Password : adminpass)

In my case to change RAM size 512M to 64M in m1.tiny in flavor. And Launch Instance to select network "private".

Floating IP Create on the controller

controller:/continuse/script# neutron floatingip-create public

Fault Tolerance Test

You can get IP address for running controller service using fleetctl list-units command.

Controller node fail test

On Mac
$ vagrant halt controller-03
==> controller-03: Attempting graceful shutdown of VM...
$ vagrant up controller-03
Bringing machine 'core-04' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
==> controller-03: Checking if box 'coreos-stable' is up to date...
==> controller-03: Clearing any previously set forwarded ports...
.
.
.
.

$ vagrant ssh controller-02
Last login: Wed Apr 29 14:31:02 2015 from 10.0.2.2
CoreOS alpha (681.0.0)
core@core-01 ~ $ fleetctl list-units
UNIT			    MACHINE				        ACTIVE	SUB
compute.service	    68b75b56.../192.168.10.31	active	running
controller.service	 8f6fcefb.../192.168.10.12	active	running
network.service	    154fea9e.../192.168.10.31	active	running
network.service	    0d348a8e.../192.168.10.32	active	running
$

You will found controller.service running on controller-02 from controller-03. For verification, to connect dashboard "http://192/168.10.12/horizon/" and YOU CAN ANY ACTION IS NO PROBLEM.

Network Node / Compute Node Fail Test is the same as the above controller node fail test. In Case Of HA_MODE=L3_HA, there is no problem in network node fail test, but HA_MODE=DVR does not support failover. Because currently "snat" namespace could not move to the another host.

VM Migration

If you want to compute node fail test, YOU NEED TO VM MIGRATION. If one VM ran on compute-01 and your new service of compute.service run on compute-02, you will need the following the action on controller node.

On controller
$ nova evacuate demo01 compute-02 –-on-shared-storage

Confirm to access the dashboard for migration VM.
