Kayobe on Packet

This Terraform deployment reproduces the environment for a universe from nothing workshop on Packet.

Software Components

Kayobe enables deployment of containerised OpenStack to bare metal.

Instructions for deployment

After cloning this repo,

cd a-universe-from-nothing-packet
echo packet_auth_token=\"ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ123456\" >> terraform.tfvars
echo packet_project_id=\"12345678-90AB-CDEF-GHIJ-KLMNOPQR\" >> terraform.tfvars
echo deploy_prefix=\"kayobe\" >> terraform.tfvars
echo packet_facility=\"ewr1\" >> terraform.tfvars
echo lab_count=25 >> terraform.tfvars
echo packet_facility_alt=\"nrt1\" >> terraform.tfvars
echo lab_count_alt=25 >> terraform.tfvars

Note that the packet_auth_token needs to be the user auth token, not the project auth token, otherwise you will hit strange errors. This can be obtained by clicking the user icon on the top right hand corner on https://app.packet.net and choose API Keys in the menu.

Next up is the terraform bit assuming it is already installed:

terraform init
terraform plan
terraform apply -auto-approve -parallelism=52

To reprovision a lab machine:

terraform taint packet_device.lab.#
terraform apply -auto-approve

where # is the lab index which can be obtained from the web UI.

To destroy the cluster:

terraform destroy

Instructions for lab users

Logging in

SSH in to your lab instance by running and entering the provided password:

ssh lab@<lab-ip-address> -o PreferredAuthentications=password

It is recommeded that you run passwd immediately to change the default password.

Nested virtualisation

Make sure that nested virtualisation is enabled on the host:

egrep --color 'vmx|svm' /proc/cpuinfo

Look for vmx or svm coloured red in the output.

Initial seed deployment

Ensure that the initialsation steps are complete by looking at the log:

tail -f a-seed-from-nothing.out

When complete, it should report an elapsed time as follows:

[INFO] 22 minutes and 3 seconds elapsed.

Inspect the bifrost container inside your seed VM:

ssh [email protected]
docker ps
exit
