Indeed, it'll be driven by Heat and Mistral mostly.</div><div> </div><div>But today our discussion extended on 2 uses-cases that we're going to explore and find how we can address them:</div><div>1) I'm a developer and want to deploy a containerized undercloud with customized containers (more or less related to the all-in-one discussions on another thread [1]).</div><div>2) I'm submitting a patch in tripleo-common (let's say a workflow) and need my patch to be tested when the undercloud is containerized (see [2] for an excellent example).</div><div><br></div><div>Both cases would require additional things:</div><div>- The container registry needs to be deployed *before* actually installing the undercloud.</div><div>- We need a tool to update containers from this registry and *before* deploying them. We already have this tool in place in our CI for the overcloud (see [3] and [4]). Now we need a similar thing for the undercloud.</div><div><br></div><div>Next steps:</div><div>- Agree that we need to deploy the container-registry before the undercloud.</div><div>- If agreed, we'll create a new Ansible role called ansible-role-container-registry that for now will deploy exactly what we have in TripleO, without extra feature.</div><div>- Drive the playbook runtime from tripleoclient to bootstrap the container registry (which of course could be disabled in undercloud.conf).</div><div>- Create another Ansible role that would re-use container-check tool but the idea is to provide a role to modify containers when needed, and we could also control it from tripleoclient. The role would be using the ContainerImagePrepare parameter, which Steve is working on right now.</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>This all looks really good Emilien, thanks for sending it out.</div><div>Regarding the update of containers, we would just want to be 100% sure that we can control which yum repositories are in play for the update. Maybe it will be done by the user prior to running the command, or maybe with some flags to what ever command Steve is working on.</div><div>FYI.. we've noticed in CI that when the base os updates ( not baseos) are included you tend to fail on at least on package download on one of the 50+ containers due to infra/network. In CI we only enable baseos, dlrn updates and the dependency change [1]</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks</div><div><br></div><div>[1] <a href="https://github.com/openstack/tripleo-quickstart-extras/blob/master/roles/overcloud-prep-containers/templates/overcloud-prep-containers.sh.j2#L104-L109">https://github.com/openstack/tripleo-quickstart-extras/blob/master/roles/overcloud-prep-containers/templates/overcloud-prep-containers.sh.j2#L104-L109</a></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><br></div><div>Feedback is welcome, thanks.</div><div><br></div><div>[1] All-In-One thread: <a href="http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2018-March/128900.html" target="_blank">http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2018-March/128900.html</a><br></div><div>[2] Bug report when undercloud is containeirzed <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/tripleo/+bug/1762422" target="_blank">https://bugs.launchpad.net/tripleo/+bug/1762422</a></div><div>[3] Tool to update containers if needed: <a href="https://github.com/imain/container-check" target="_blank">https://github.com/imain/container-check</a></div><div>[4] Container-check running in TripleO CI: <a href="https://review.openstack.org/#/c/558885/" target="_blank">https://review.openstack.org/#/c/558885/</a> and <a href="https://review.openstack.org/#/c/529399/" target="_blank">https://review.openstack.org/#/c/529399/</a></div>-- <br><div class="m_3142544306312324338gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">Emilien Macchi<br></div></div>
