This tutorial using Ussuri release version on ubuntu 18.04 LTS

Prerequisites

3 node (1 controller + 2 compute)
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS installed on each node
2 interfaces on each node (mgmt network and external network)
Internet access on both network

Topology

Note

Run command below using regular user
Run command below only on deployer node

Installation Step

1. Update Repository

sudo apt-get update

2. Install Dependencies

sudo apt-get install python3-dev libffi-dev gcc libssl-dev python3-selinux python3-setuptools  python3-venv -y

3. Create Virtual Environtment

cd ~
python3 -m venv kolla-venv
source kolla-venv/bin/activate

4. Install Ansible and Kolla ansible

pip install -U pip
pip install ansible==2.9.13
pip install kolla-ansible==10.1.0

5. Create /etc/kolla/ Directory

sudo mkdir -p /etc/kolla
sudo chown $USER:$USER /etc/kolla

6. Copy globals.yml and passwords.yml to /etc/kolla directory

cd ~
cp -r kolla-venv/share/kolla-ansible/etc_examples/kolla/* /etc/kolla

7. Copy all-in-one and multinode inventory files to the current directory

cd ~
cp kolla-venv/share/kolla-ansible/ansible/inventory/* .

8. Configure Ansible

sudo mkdir -p /etc/ansible

sudo nano /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
...

[defaults]
host_key_checking=False
pipelining=True
forks=100

15. Generate Certificate for Octavia Amphora

Manual configuration (Recommended), follow this step

Using Script (For Testing) follow this step

16. Run kolla ansible playbook

kolla-ansible -i ./multinode bootstrap-servers
kolla-ansible -i ./multinode prechecks
kolla-ansible -i ./multinode deploy

17. Post Deploy

kolla-ansible post-deploy
pip install python-openstackclient

18. Create octavia openrc file

Check octavia keystone password

grep octavia_keystone /etc/kolla/passwords.yml
...

octavia_keystone_password: VQ2vA5AsFZLzt1t1FK39sMMu2R5BXMSSXtIXOWow

Create /etc/kolla/octavia-openrc.sh

sudo nano /etc/kolla/octavia-openrc.sh
...

for key in $( set | awk '{FS="="}  /^OS_/ {print $1}' ); do unset $key ; done
export OS_PROJECT_DOMAIN_NAME=Default
export OS_USER_DOMAIN_NAME=Default
export OS_PROJECT_NAME=service
export OS_TENANT_NAME=service
export OS_USERNAME=octavia
export OS_PASSWORD=<octavia_keystone_password>
export OS_AUTH_URL=http://10.10.150.11:35357/v3
export OS_INTERFACE=internal
export OS_ENDPOINT_TYPE=internalURL
export OS_IDENTITY_API_VERSION=3
export OS_REGION_NAME=RegionOne
export OS_AUTH_PLUGIN=password

source to /etc/kolla/octavia-openrc.sh

source /etc/kolla/octavia-openrc.sh

19. Create Amphora Image

Install Dependencies

sudo apt install -y qemu-utils git kpartx debootstrap

Clone octavia repository

git clone https://opendev.org/openstack/octavia -b stable/ussuri

Skip this step if you are create certificate using script

Install disk-builder

deactivate
python3 -m venv disk-builder
source disk-builder/bin/activate
pip install diskimage-builder

Create Amphora Image (Default using ubuntu)

cd octavia/diskimage-create
./diskimage-create.sh

20. Register the image in Glance

deactivate
source ~/kolla-venv/bin/activate

openstack image create amphora-x64-haproxy.qcow2 --container-format bare --disk-format qcow2 --private --tag amphora --file amphora-x64-haproxy.qcow2

21. Create Amphora Flavor

openstack flavor create --vcpus 1 --ram 1024 --disk 3 "amphora" --private

22. Create Amphora Security Group

Amphora

openstack security group create lb-mgmt-sec-grp
openstack security group rule create --protocol icmp lb-mgmt-sec-grp
openstack security group rule create --protocol tcp --dst-port 22 lb-mgmt-sec-grp
openstack security group rule create --protocol tcp --dst-port 9443 lb-mgmt-sec-grp

Health manager

openstack security group create lb-health-mgr-sec-grp
openstack security group rule create --protocol udp --dst-port 5555 lb-health-mgr-sec-grp
openstack security group rule create --protocol icmp lb-health-mgr-sec-grp

23. Create Amphora Keypair

openstack keypair create --public-key ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub octavia_ssh_key

24. Copy dhclient.conf to other node

Create Directory

sudo mkdir -m755 -p /etc/dhcp/octavia

Copy dhclient

cd ~
sudo cp octavia/etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf /etc/dhcp/octavia

25. Create octavia mgmt network and subnet

Network

openstack network create lb-mgmt-net

Subnet

OCTAVIA_MGMT_SUBNET=172.24.0.0/14

openstack subnet create --subnet-range $OCTAVIA_MGMT_SUBNET --gateway none --network lb-mgmt-net lb-mgmt-subnet

26. Create Octavia Health Manager Port

Create port

OCTAVIA_MGMT_PORT_IP=172.24.0.10

SUBNET_ID=$(openstack subnet show lb-mgmt-subnet -f value -c id)

MGMT_PORT_ID=$(openstack port create --security-group \
  lb-health-mgr-sec-grp --device-owner Octavia:health-mgr \
  --host=$(hostname) -c id -f value --network lb-mgmt-net \
  --fixed-ip subnet=$SUBNET_ID,ip-address=$OCTAVIA_MGMT_PORT_IP \
  octavia-health-manager-listen-port)

Bind Port to Controller

MGMT_PORT_MAC=$(openstack port show -c mac_address -f value $MGMT_PORT_ID)

sudo docker exec -it openvswitch_vswitchd ovs-vsctl -- --may-exist add-port br-int o-hm0 -- set Interface o-hm0 type=internal -- set Interface o-hm0 external-ids:iface-status=active -- set Interface o-hm0 external-ids:attached-mac=$MGMT_PORT_MAC -- set Interface o-hm0 external-ids:iface-id=$MGMT_PORT_ID 

sudo ip link set dev o-hm0 address $MGMT_PORT_MAC
sudo ip link set dev o-hm0 up
sudo dhclient -v o-hm0 -cf /etc/dhcp/octavia/dhclient.conf

27. Make Port Permanent on systemd

Create systemd network

sudo nano /etc/systemd/network/o-hm0.network
...

[Match]
Name=o-hm0

[Network]
DHCP=yes

Create Script

sudo tee -a /opt/octavia-interface.sh<<-EOF
#!/bin/bash

set -ex

MGMT_PORT_MAC=$MGMT_PORT_MAC
MGMT_PORT_ID=$MGMT_PORT_ID

if [ "$1" == "start" ]; then
  sudo docker exec -it openvswitch_vswitchd ovs-vsctl -- --may-exist add-port br-int o-hm0 -- set Interface o-hm0 type=internal -- set Interface o-hm0 external-ids:iface-status=active -- set Interface o-hm0 external-ids:attached-mac=$MGMT_PORT_MAC -- set Interface o-hm0 external-ids:iface-id=$MGMT_PORT_ID
  ip link set dev o-hm0 address $MGMT_PORT_MAC
  ip link set o-hm0 up
elif [ "$1" == "stop" ]; then
  sudo docker exec -it openvswitch_vswitchd ovs-vsctl del-port o-hm0
else
  sudo docker exec -it openvswitch_vswitchd ovs-vsctl show br-int
  ip a s dev o-hm0
fi
EOF

Give exe permission

sudo chmod +x /opt/octavia-interface.sh

Create Systemd service

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/octavia-interface.service
...

[Unit]
Description=Octavia Interface Creator
Requires=openvswitch-switch.service
After=openvswitch-switch.service

[Service]
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=true
ExecStart=/opt/octavia-interface.sh start
ExecStop=/opt/octavia-interface.sh stop

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

sudo systemctl enable octavia-interface.service

28. Add the octavia resource id into globals.yml

Check octavia resource id

openstack network show lb-mgmt-net | awk '/ id / {print $4}'
openstack security group show lb-mgmt-sec-grp | awk '/ id / {print $4}'
openstack flavor show amphora | awk '/ id / {print $4}'

Add the octavia resource id into globals.yml

nano /etc/kolla/globals.yml

octavia_amp_boot_network_list: <ID of lb-mgmt-net>
octavia_amp_secgroup_list: <ID of lb-mgmt-sec-grp>
octavia_amp_flavor_id: <ID of amphora flavor>

29. Change Octavia Health Manager Config

Check Port IP Address

HM_IP=$(openstack port show octavia-health-manager-listen-port | awk '/ fixed_ips / {print $4}' | cut -d "'" -f 2)
echo $HM_IP

nano /etc/kolla/config/octavia.conf
...

[health_manager]
bind_ip = <HM_IP>
controller_ip_port_list = <HM_IP>:5555

30. Reconfigure Octavia

kolla-ansible -i ./multinode reconfigure -t octavia

31. Install octavia client

source ~/kolla-install/bin/activate
source /etc/kolla/admin-openrc.sh
pip install python-octaviaclient
