Zun - Container service

"Zun is an OpenStack Container service. It aims to provide an OpenStack API for provisioning and managing containerized workload on OpenStack." For more details about Zun, see OpenStack Zun Documentation.

Warning

Zun is currently NOT SUPPORTED for this version of Kolla-Ansible.

Since work on repairing compatibility is expected to start development during the 2024.1 release cycle, backports will be considered to the stable series to bridge the migration path.

While the service containers and ansible roles still remain, a working installation is currently not possible in CI, and therefore is not supported.

Preparation and Deployment

By default Zun and its dependencies are disabled. In order to enable Zun, you need to edit globals.yml and set the following variables:

enable_zun: "yes"
enable_kuryr: "yes"
enable_etcd: "yes"
docker_configure_for_zun: "yes"
containerd_configure_for_zun: "yes"

Currently Kuryr does not support Docker 23 and later due to dropped --cluster-store option (bug bug).You need to cap docker by setting the following variables in globals.yml.

docker_apt_package_pin: "5:20.*"
docker_yum_package_pin: "20.*"

Debian Bookworm is not recommended as a host OS for Zun. It does not support a version of Docker with the deprecated option. Compatibility with Zun is not tested in CI.

Docker reconfiguration requires rebootstrapping before deploy. Make sure you understand the consequences of restarting Docker. Please see rebootstrapping for details. If it's initial deploy, then there is nothing to worry about because it's initial bootstrapping as well and there are no running services to affect.

$ kolla-ansible bootstrap-servers

Finally deploy:

$ kolla-ansible deploy

Verification

1. Generate the credentials file:

   $ kolla-ansible post-deploy

2. Source credentials file:

   $ . /etc/kolla/admin-openrc.sh

3. Download and create a glance container image:

   $ docker pull cirros
   $ docker save cirros | openstack image create cirros --public \
     --container-format docker --disk-format raw

4. Create zun container:

   $ zun create --name test --net network=demo-net cirros ping -c4 8.8.8.8

   Note

   Kuryr does not support networks with DHCP enabled, disable DHCP in the subnet used for zun containers.

   $ openstack subnet set --no-dhcp <subnet>

5. Verify container is created:

   $ zun list
   
   +--------------------------------------+------+---------------+---------+------------+------------+-------+
   | uuid                                 | name | image         | status  | task_state | addresses  | ports |
   +--------------------------------------+------+---------------+---------+------------+------------+-------+
   | 3719a73e-5f86-47e1-bc5f-f4074fc749f2 | test | cirros        | Created | None       | 172.17.0.3 | []    |
   +--------------------------------------+------+---------------+---------+------------+------------+-------+

6. Start container:

   $ zun start test
   Request to start container test has been accepted.

7. Verify container:

   $ zun logs test
