Disclaimer

This is pre-beta code that is actively being developed.

Although the code is in a functional state, there is currently no guarentees about the interfaces that it provides.

I am actively seeking users who understand that this code is in a pre-alpha state. Feel free to contact me (Dan Bode) at [email protected] or bodepdfreenode.

Any feedback greatly appreciated.

Use Cases

• Tested for a single node swift install http://swift.openstack.org/development_saio.html

• Tested for multi-node swift install http://swift.openstack.org/howto_installmultinode.html

• Only been tested with tempauth

Dependencies:

• Only tested on Ubuntu Natty
• Only tested against Puppet 2.7.10
• Only verified with Swift 1.4.7

module Dependencies

This is known to work with master from the following github repos:

• https://github.com/saz/puppet-ssh
• https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-rsync
• https://github.com/saz/puppet-memcached
• https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-stdlib

This module is intended to complement other openstack modules and will eventually be a submodule of the openstack set of modules:

https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-openstack

Usage:

swift:

class that sets up base packages and the base /etc/swift/swift.conf.

class { 'swift':
  # shared salt used when hashing ring mappings
  swift_hash_suffix => 'shared_secret',
}

swift::proxy:

class that installs and configures the swift proxy server

class { 'swift::proxy':
  # specifies that account should be automatically created
  # this should be set to true when tempauth is used
  account_autocreate = true,
  proxy_local_net_ip = $ipaddress_eth1,
  #proxy_port = '11211',
  # auth type defaults to tempauth - this is the
  # only auth that has been tested
  #auth_type = 'tempauth',
}

swift::storage

class that sets up all of the configuration and dependencies for swift storage server instances

class { 'swift::storage':
  # address that swift should bind to
  storage_local_net_ip => $ipaddress_eth1,
  devices              => '/srv/node'
}

swift::storage::server

Defined resource type that can be used to create a swift storage server instance. In general, you do not need to explicity specify your server instances (as the swift::storage::class will create them for you)

This will configure an rsync server instance and swift storage instance to manage the all devices in the devices directory.

# the title for this server and the port where it
# will be hosted
swift::storage::server { '6010':
  # the type of device (account/object/container)
  type => 'object',
  # directory where device is mounted
  devices => '/srv/node',
  # address to bind to
  storage_local_net_ip => '127.0.0.1'
}

swift::storage::loopback

This defined resource was created to test swift by creating loopback devices that can be used for testing

It creates a partition of size [$seek] at base_dir/[$name] using dd with [$byte_size], formats it to be an xfs filesystem which is mounted at /src/node/[$name]

It then creates swift::storage::devices for each device type using the title as the 3rd digit of a four digit port number :60[digit][role] (object = 0, container = 1, account = 2)

swift::storage::loopback { '1':
  base_dir  => '/srv/loopback-device',
  mnt_base_dir => '/srv/node',
  byte_size => '1024',
  seek      => '25000',
  storage_local_net_ip => '127.0.0.1'

}

swift::ringbuiler

class that knows how to build rings.

Creates the initial rings, collects any exported resources, and rebalances the ring if it is updated.

  class { 'swift::ringbuilder':
    part_power     => '18',
    replicas       => '3',
    min_part_hours => '1',
  }

Example

For an example of how to use this module to build out a single node swift cluster, you can have a look at examples/all.pp

This example can be used as follows:`

set up pre-reqs

puppet apply examples/pre.pp

install all swift components on a single node

puppet apply examples/all.pp

For an example of how to use this module to build out a multi node swift cluster, you can have a look at examples/multi.pp

This example assumes that a puppetmaster already exists and is resolvable as puppetmaster.

This example can be used as follows:`

set up pre-reqs

puppet apply examples/pre.pp

install all swift components on a single node

puppet apply examples/all.pp --certname my_role

Verifying installation

This module also comes with a simple Ruby script that validates rather or not your swift cluster is functional.

The script can be run as:

ruby /files/swift_tester.rb
