Terraform for "A Universe From Nothing" Lab

Terraform for the following configuration:

  • OpenStack virtualised lab instances
  • An OpenStack virtualised container registry instance
  • Cinder volumes for instance storage
  • Floating IPs for networking

This Terraform deployment reproduces the environment for a universe from nothing workshop on OpenStack infrastructure.

Prerequisites

  • A Neutron network the instances can attach to, with a router
  • Plenty of resource quota
  • Terraform installed (see instructions here)

Software Components

Kayobe enables the deployment of containerised OpenStack to bare metal.

Instructions for deployment

After cloning this repo, source the regular OpenStack rc file with the necessary vars for accessing the A Universe From Nothing lab project.

There are various variables available for configuration. These can be seen in vars.tf, and can be set in terraform.tfvars (see sample file terraform.tfvars.sample).

Create the resources using Terraform:

terraform init
terraform plan
terraform apply -auto-approve -parallelism=52

To reprovision a lab machine:

terraform taint openstack_compute_instance_v2.lab[#]
terraform apply -auto-approve

where # is the lab index which can be obtained from the web UI.

To destroy the cluster:

terraform destroy

Instructions for lab users

Logging in

SSH in to your lab instance by running and entering the provided password:

ssh lab@<lab-ip-address> -o PreferredAuthentications=password

The default password is the id of the lab instance. As such, it is recommended that you run passwd immediately to change the default password.

Nested virtualisation

Make sure that nested virtualisation is enabled on the host:

egrep --color 'vmx|svm' /proc/cpuinfo

Look for vmx or svm coloured red in the output.

Initial seed deployment

Ensure that the initialsation steps are complete by looking at the log:

tail -f a-seed-from-nothing.out

When complete, it should report an elapsed time as follows:

[INFO] 22 minutes and 3 seconds elapsed.

Inspect the Bifrost container inside your seed VM:

ssh [email protected]
docker ps
exit

Configuring bare metal cloud using Kayobe

Look at the steps involved in deploying Kayobe control plane:

less a-universe-from-seed.sh
