Tacker - NFV orchestration
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
"Tacker is an OpenStack service for NFV Orchestration with a general purpose
|
|
VNF Manager to deploy and operate Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) and
|
|
Network Services on an NFV Platform. It is based on ETSI MANO Architectural
|
|
Framework."
|
|
For more details about Tacker, see `OpenStack Tacker Documentation
|
|
<https://docs.openstack.org/tacker/latest/>`__.
|
|
|
|
Overview
|
|
~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
As of the Pike release, tacker requires the following services
|
|
to be enabled to operate correctly.
|
|
|
|
* Core compute stack (nova, neutron, glance, etc)
|
|
* Heat
|
|
* Mistral + Redis
|
|
* Barbican (Required only for multinode)
|
|
|
|
Optionally tacker supports the following services and features.
|
|
|
|
* Aodh
|
|
* Ceilometer
|
|
* Networking-sfc
|
|
* Opendaylight
|
|
|
|
Preparation and Deployment
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
By default tacker and required services are disabled in
|
|
the ``group_vars/all.yml`` file.
|
|
In order to enable them, you need to edit the file
|
|
``/etc/kolla/globals.yml`` and set the following variables:
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
Heat is enabled by default, ensure it is not disabled.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
enable_tacker: "yes"
|
|
enable_barbican: "yes"
|
|
enable_mistral: "yes"
|
|
enable_redis: "yes"
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
|
|
Barbican is required in multinode deployments to share VIM fernet_keys.
|
|
If not enabled, only one tacker-server host will have the keys on it
|
|
and any request made to a different tacker-server will fail with a
|
|
similar error as ``No such file or directory /etc/tacker/vim/fernet_keys``
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
|
|
In Train, Tacker started using local filesystem to store VNF
|
|
packages and CSAR files.
|
|
Kolla Ansible provides no shared filesystem capabilities, hence only
|
|
one instance of each Tacker service is deployed and all on the same host.
|
|
|
|
Deploy tacker and related services.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ kolla-ansible deploy
|
|
|
|
Verification
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Generate the credentials file.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ kolla-ansible post-deploy
|
|
|
|
Source credentials file.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ . /etc/kolla/admin-openrc.sh
|
|
|
|
In kolla-ansible git repository a `tacker demo <https://github.com/openstack/kolla-ansible/tree/master/contrib/demos/tacker>`_
|
|
is present in ``kolla-ansible/contrib/demos/tacker/`` that will
|
|
create a very basic VNF from a cirros image in ``demo-net`` network.
|
|
|
|
Install python-tackerclient.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
Barbican, heat and mistral python clients are in tacker's
|
|
requirements and will be installed as dependency.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ pip install python-tackerclient
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
|
|
You are free to use the following ``init-runonce`` script for demo
|
|
purposes but note it does **not** have to be run in order to use your
|
|
cloud. Depending on your customisations, it may not work, or it may
|
|
conflict with the resources you want to create. You have been warned.
|
|
|
|
From kolla-ansible git repository, execute ``init-runonce`` and
|
|
``deploy-tacker-demo`` scripts to initialize the demo VNF creation.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ ./tools/init-runonce
|
|
$ ./contrib/demos/tacker/deploy-tacker-demo
|
|
|
|
Tacker demo script will create sample VNF Descriptor (VNFD) file,
|
|
then register a default VIM, create a tacker VNFD and finally
|
|
deploy a VNF from the previously created VNFD.
|
|
|
|
|
|
After a few minutes, the tacker VNF is ACTIVE with a cirros instance
|
|
running in nova and with its corresponding heat stack CREATION_COMPLETE.
|
|
|
|
Verify tacker VNF status is ACTIVE.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ openstack vnf list

After the correct functionality of tacker is verified, tacker demo
|
|
can be cleaned up executing ``cleanup-tacker`` script.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ ./cleanup-tacker
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
|
|
The above does not clean up resources created by ``init-runonce``.
