So the automated and customizable build process <br>will be very helpful. <br><br>With respect to where to land the patch, I think diskimage-builder is a reasonable target. <br>If it does not land there, Magnum does currently have 2 sets of diskimage-builder elements for Mesos image <br>and Ironic image, so it is also reasonable to submit the patch to Magnum. With the new push to reorganize<br>into drivers for COE and distro, the elements would be a natural fit for Fedora Atomic. <br><br>As for periodic image build, it's a good idea to stay current with the distro, but we should avoid the situation <br>where something new in the image breaks a COE and we are stuck for awhile until a fix is made. So instead of<br>an automated periodic build, we might want to stage the new image to make sure it's good before switching.<br><br>One question: I notice the image built by DIB is 871MB, similar to the manually built image, while the<br>public image from Atomic is 486MB. It might be worthwhile to understand the difference. <br><br>Ton Ngo,<br><br></font><img src="cid:1__=8FBBF513DF9587BE8f9e8a93df938690918c8FB@" width="16" height="16" alt="Inactive hide details for Yolanda Robla Mota ---03/23/2016 04:12:54 AM---Hi I wanted to start a discussion on how Fedora Atomic"><font size="4" color="#424282">Yolanda Robla Mota ---03/23/2016 04:12:54 AM---Hi I wanted to start a discussion on how Fedora Atomic images are being</font><font size="4"><br></font><font color="#5F5F5F"><br>From: </font>Yolanda Robla Mota <yolanda.robla-mota@hpe.com><font color="#5F5F5F"><br>To: </font><openstack-dev@lists.openstack.org><font color="#5F5F5F"><br>Date: </font>03/23/2016 04:12 AM<font color="#5F5F5F"><br>Subject: </font>[openstack-dev] [magnum] Generate atomic images using diskimage-builder<font size="4"><br></font><hr width="100%" size="2" align="left" noshade><font size="4"><br><br></font><tt><font size="4"><br>Hi<br>I wanted to start a discussion on how Fedora Atomic images are being <br>built. Currently the process for generating the atomic images used on <br>Magnum is described here: </font></tt><tt><u><font size="4" color="#0000FF"><br></font></u></tt><a href="http://docs.openstack.org/developer/magnum/dev/build-atomic-image.html"><tt><u><font size="4" color="#0000FF">http://docs.openstack.org/developer/magnum/dev/build-atomic-image.html</font></u></tt></a><tt><font size="4">.<br>The image needs to be built manually, uploaded to fedorapeople, and then <br>consumed from there in the magnum tests.<br>I have been working on a feature to allow diskimage-builder to generate <br>these images. The code that makes it possible is here: </font></tt><tt><u><font size="4" color="#0000FF"><br></font></u></tt><a href="https://review.openstack.org/287167"><tt><u><font size="4" color="#0000FF">https://review.openstack.org/287167</font></u></tt></a><tt><font size="4"><br>This will allow that magnum images are generated on infra, using <br>diskimage-builder element. This element also has the ability to consume <br>any tree we need, so images can be customized on demand. I generated one <br>image using this element, and uploaded to fedora people. The image has <br>passed tests, and has been validated by several people.<br><br>So i'm raising that topic to decide what should be the next steps. This <br>change to generate fedora-atomic images has not already landed into <br>diskimage-builder. But we have two options here:<br>- add this element to generic diskimage-builder elements, as i'm doing now<br>- generate this element internally on magnum. So we can have a directory <br>in magnum project, called "elements", and have the fedora-atomic element <br>here. This will give us more control on the element behaviour, and will <br>allow to update the element without waiting for external reviews.<br><br>Once the code for diskimage-builder has landed, another step can be to <br>periodically generate images using a magnum job, and upload these images <br>to OpenStack Infra mirrors. Currently the image is based on Fedora F23, <br>docker-host tree. But different images can be generated if we need a <br>better option.<br><br>As soon as the images are available on internal infra mirrors, the tests <br>can be changed, to consume these internals images. By this way the tests <br>can be a bit faster (i know that the bottleneck is on the functional <br>testing, but if we reduce the download time it can help), and tests can <br>be more reilable, because we will be removing an external dependency.<br><br>So i'd like to get more feedback on this topic, options and next steps <br>to achieve the goals.
