Install vexxhost magnum-cluster-api driver
##########################################
About this repository
---------------------
This repository includes playbooks and roles to deploy the Vexxhost
magnum-cluster-api driver for the OpenStack Magnum service.
The playbooks create a complete deployment including the control plane
k8s cluster which should result in a ready-to-go experience for operators.
The following architectural features are present:
* The control plane k8s cluster is an integral part of the openstack-ansible
deployment, and forms part of the foundational components alongside mariadb
and rabbitmq.
* The control plane k8s cluster is deployed on the infra hosts and integrated
with the haproxy loadbalancer and OpenStack internal API endpoint, and not
exposed outside of the deployment
* SSL is supported between all components and configuration is
possible to support different certificate authorities on the internal
and external loadbalancer endpoints.
* Control plane traffic can stay entirely within the management network
if required
* The magnum-cluster-api-proxy service is deployed to allow communication
between the control plane and workload clusters when a floating IP is not
attached to the workload cluster.
* It is possible to do a completely offline install for airgapped environments
The magnum-cluster-api driver for magnum can be found here https://github.com/vexxhost/magnum-cluster-api
Documentation for the Vexxhost magnum-cluster-api driver is here https://vexxhost.github.io/magnum-cluster-api/
The ansible collection used to deploy the controlplane k8s cluster is here https://github.com/vexxhost/ansible-collection-kubernetes
The ansible collection used to deploy the container runtime for the controlplane k8s cluster is here https://github.com/vexxhost/ansible-collection-containers
**These playbooks require Openstack-Ansible Caracal or later.**
Highlevel overview of the Magnum infrastructure these playbooks will
build and operate against.

Pre-requisites
--------------
* An existing openstack-ansible deployment
* Control plane using LXC containers, bare metal deployment is not tested
* Core openstack services plus Octavia
OpenStack-Ansible Integration
-----------------------------
The playbooks are distributed as an ansible collection, and integrate with
Openstack-Ansible by adding the collection to the deployment host by
adding the following to `/etc/openstack_deploy/user-collection-requirements.yml`
under the collections key.
.. code-block:: yaml
collections:
- name: vexxhost.kubernetes
source: https://github.com/vexxhost/ansible-collection-kubernetes
type: git
version: main
- name: osa_ops.mcapi_vexxhost
type: git
version: master
source: https://opendev.org/openstack/openstack-ansible-ops#/mcapi_vexxhost
The collections can then be installed with the following command:
.. code-block:: bash
cd /opt/openstack-ansible
openstack-ansible scripts/get-ansible-collection-requirements.yml
The modules in the kubernetes collection require an additional python module
to be present in the ansible-runtime python virtual environment. Specify this
in /etc/openstack_deploy/user-ansible-venv-requirements.txt
.. code-block:: bash
docker-image-py
OpenStack-Ansible configuration for magnum-cluster-api driver
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Specify the deployment of the control plane k8s cluster in
`/etc/openstack_deploy/env.d/k8s.yml`
.. code-block:: yaml
---
component_skel:
k8s_capi:
belongs_to:
- k8s_all
container_skel:
k8s_container:
belongs_to:
- cluster-api_containers
contains:
- k8s_capi
physical_skel:
cluster-api_containers:
belongs_to:
- all_containers
cluster-api_hosts:
belongs_to:
- hosts
Define the physical hosts that will host the controlplane k8s
cluster, this example is for an all-in-one deployment and should
be adjusted to match a real deployment with multiple hosts if
high availability is required.
.. code-block:: yaml
cluster-api_hosts:
aio1:
ip: 172.29.236.100
Integrate the control plane k8s cluster with the haproxy loadbalancer
in `/etc/openstack-deploy/group_vars/k8s_all/haproxy_service.yml`
.. code-block:: yaml
---

k8s_haproxy_services:
- "{{ haproxy_k8s_service | combine(haproxy_k8s_service_overrides | default({})) }}"
Configure the LXC container that will host the control plane k8s cluster to
be suitable for running nested containers in `/etc/openstack-deploy/group_vars/k8s_all/main.yml`
.. code-block:: yaml
---
lxc_container_config_list:
- "lxc.apparmor.profile=unconfined"
lxc_container_mount_auto:
- "proc:rw"
- "sys:rw"
Set up config-overrides for the magnum service in `/etc/openstack-deploy/user_variables_magnum.yml`.
Adjust the images and flavors here as necessary, these are just for demonstration. Upload as many
images as you need for the different workload cluster kubernetes versions.
.. code-block:: yaml
#list the images to upload to glance here, or set to an empty list
#to handle image uploading by some other means
magnum_glance_images:

#the magnum playbook can create flavors, or set to an empty list
#to handle flavor creation by some other means

Set up config-overrides for the control plane k8s cluster in /etc/openstack-deploy/user_variables_k8s.yml`
Attention must be given to the SSL configuration. Users and workload clusters will
interact with the external endpoint and must trust the SSL certificate. The magnum
service and cluster-api can be configured to interact with either the external or
internal endpoint and must trust the SSL certificiate. Depending on the environment,
these may be derived from different certificate authorities.

Run the deployment
------------------
For a new deployment
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Run the OSA playbooks/setup.yml playbooks as usual, following the normal
deployment guide.
Run the magnum-cluster-api deployment
.. code-block:: bash
openstack-ansible osa_ops.mcapi_vexxhost.k8s_install
For an existing deployment
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Ensure that the python modules required for ansible are present:
.. code-block: bash
./scripts/bootstrap-ansible.sh
Alternatively, without re-running the bootstrap script:
.. code-block bash
/opt/ansible-runtime/bin/pip install docker-image-py
Add the magnum-cluser-api driver to the magnum service
.. code-block: bash
openstack-ansible playbooks/os-magnum-install.yml
Create the k8s control plane containers
.. code-block: bash
openstack-ansible playbooks/lxc-containers-create.yml --limit k8s_all
Run the magnum-cluster-api deployment
.. code-block:: bash
openstack-ansible osa_ops.mcapi_vexxhost.k8s_install
Optionally run a functional test of magnum-cluster-api
------------------------------------------------------
This can be done quickly using the following playbook
.. code-block:: bash
openstack-ansible osa_ops.mcapi_vexxhost.functional_test
This playbook will create a neutron public network, download a prebuilt
k8s glance image, create a nova flavor and a magnum cluster template.
It will then deploy the workload k8s cluster using magnum, and
run a sonobouy "quick mode" test of the workload cluster.
This playbook is intended to be used on an openstack-ansible
all-in-one deployment.
Use Magnum to create a workload cluster

Troubleshooting
---------------
Local testing
-------------
An OpenStack-Ansible all-in-one configured with Magnum and Octavia is
capable of running a functioning magnum-cluster-api deployment.
Sufficient memory should be available beyond the minimum 8G usually required
for an all-in-one. A multinode workload cluster may require nova to boot several
Ubuntu images in addition to an Octavia loadbalancer instance. 64G would
be an appropriate amount of system RAM.
There also must be sufficient disk space in `/var/lib/nova/instances` to
support the required number of instances - the normal minimum of 60G
required for an all-in-one deployment will be insufficient, 500G would
be plenty.
