Openstack Service Builder Role

This is a role that can be used to setup a multi-region/-project service on Openstack. It has been tested on SWITCHengines. Your mileage on any other Openstack installation may vary.

It can create and delete:

• networks
• routers
• security groups
• servers
• data volumes
• floating ips
• VIPs (for use with e.g. keepalived)
• server groups (e.g anti-affinity)

It allows for the definition of your virtual infrastructure in a declarative manner. E.g.

The definition for a VM with one data volume may look like this: (host_number is the host part of the IP address)

os_server:
  my_server1: { host_number: "11",  networks: ["my_network"], flavor: "c1.small", image: "Ubuntu 16.04", root_size: "20", security_groups: "default,ssh",  hints: {}, floating_ip: '86.119.41.50' }

os_volumes:
  my_server1:
    - { name: "data", name_prefix: "my_svc", state: "mounted", device: "/dev/vdb", size: "1024", fs: "xfs", owner: "root", group: "root", mode: "0755" }

You'd create it with:

ansible-playbooks -i inventory playbooks/infra_set_up.yml
