CF OpenStack Validator

Is your OpenStack installation ready to run BOSH and install Cloud Foundry? Run this validator to find out.

• Roadmap: Pivotal Tracker (click on Add/View Stories)
• Slack: #openstack on cloudfoundry.slack.com (get your invite here)
• List of executed tests

Prerequisites

OpenStack

• Keystone v2/v3
• Create an OpenStack project/tenant
• Create a user with access to the previously created project/tenant (ideally you don't want to run as admin)
• Create a network
  • Connect the network with a router to your external network
• Allocate a floating IP
• Allow ssh access in the default security group
• Create a key pair by executing

$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -N "" -f cf-validator.rsa_id

• Upload the generated public key to OpenStack as cf-validator

• A public image available in glance

  • If your OpenStack installation doesn't yet provide any image, you can upload a CirrOS test image

Environment

The validator runs on Mac and Linux. Please ensure that the following packages are installed on your system:

Linux Requirements

• ruby 2.4.x or newer
• make
• gcc
• zlib1g-dev
• libssl-dev
• ssh

Mac Requirements

• xcode command line tools

Running the validator

The intended place to run the validator is a VM within your OpenStack. If you are executing the tests from a machine outside your OpenStack, you need to set validator.use_external_ip to true.

Usage

• git clone https://github.com/cloudfoundry-incubator/cf-openstack-validator.git
• cd cf-openstack-validator
• Copy the generated private key into the cf-openstack-validator folder.
• Copy validator.template.yml to validator.yml and replace occurrences of <replace-me> with appropriate values (see prerequisites)
  • If using Keystone v3, ensure there are values for domain and project
  • If using Keystone v2, remove domain and project, and ensure there is a value for tenant. Also use the Keystone v2 URL as auth_url.

$ cp validator.template.yml validator.yml

• Download a stemcell from OpenStack stemcells bosh.io

$ wget --content-disposition https://bosh.io/d/stemcells/bosh-openstack-kvm-ubuntu-xenial-go_agent

• Install dependencies

$ gem install bundler
$ bundle install

• Start validation

$ ./validate --stemcell bosh-stemcell-<xxx>-openstack-kvm-ubuntu-xenial-go_agent.tgz --config validator.yml

Configure CPI used by validator

Validator downloads CPI release from the URL specified in the validator configuration. You can override this by specifying the --cpi-release command line option with the path to a CPI release tarball.

If you already have a CPI compiled, you can specify the path to the executable in the environment variable OPENSTACK_CPI_BIN. This is used when no CPI release is specified on the command line. It overrides the setting in the validator configuration file.

Command line help

To learn about available options run

$ ./validate --help

Extensions

You can extend the validator with custom tests. For a detailed description and examples, please have a look at the extension documentation.

This repository already contains some extensions. Each extension has its own documentation which can be found in the corresponding extension folder.

Troubleshooting

The validator does not run on your OpenStack? See additional OpenStack related configuration options for possible solutions.
