nova compute power #4

Supports: trusty
Add to new model

Description

OpenStack Compute, codenamed Nova, is a cloud computing fabric controller. In addition to its "native" API (the OpenStack API), it also supports the Amazon EC2 API. . This charm acts as a proxy to remote configure multiple PowerKVM hosts, which don't run Ubuntu.

Overview

The nova-compute-power charm deploys openstack to a given Power8 compute node.

Usage

To deploy a nova-compute-power service you have to have the following:

  • Generate a ssh key that the charm can use to login to the compute node to start installing RPMS and configuration file
  • A yum repository which contains the appropriate IBM Openstack Icehouse RPMs.
  • Sudo password-less configured for the user on the compute node.

Once you have this setup you must configure the charm as follow:

  1. Place the key to the nova-compute node in the files directory of the charm.

  2. Create a config.yaml that has the following:

    • power-user: username used to access and configure the power node.
    • power-repo: Yum repository url.
    • power-hosts: IP address of power node
