Chapter 8. Working with custom roles and services Red Hat OpenStack Platform usually consists of nodes in pre-defined roles, for example, nodes in Controller roles, Compute roles, and different storage role types. Each of these default roles contains a set of services that you define in the core heat template collection. However, the all-in-one Red Hat OpenStack Platform installation runs on a single node that contains all of the OpenStack services. The Standalone.yaml role file in the /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/roles directory is the configuration file that contains all of the services in the all-in-one installation. You can duplicate and modify the Standalone.yaml role file to enable and disable services in your installation. The Standalone.yaml file contains a list of services in a role Standalone . Use the following example to understand the syntax of this file: Include this role file in the deployment command to configure your stack with the Standalone role that contains the services that you include in the ServicesDefault: section of the role file: However, in a production, multi-node Red Hat OpenStack Platform environment, you assign each node with a role that contains a portion of the OpenStack services, rather than including all services on a single node. For example, the default Controller role includes administration, networking, and high availability services, and the default Compute role includes computing services. The default role file in a multi-node environment is the /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/roles_data.yaml file. This file defines the following role types: Controller Compute BlockStorage ObjectStorage CephStorage Use the following example to understand role syntax in a multi-node environment: You must include the role file each time you run the deployment command. You can use the -r argument in the deployment command to override this file and use a custom role file: 8.1. Enabling and disabling services in the all-in-one Red Hat OpenStack Platform environment The Standalone.yaml role file in the /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/roles directory is the configuration file that contains all of the services in the all-in-one installation. To enable or disable services in your environment, complete the following steps: Procedure To disable a service, edit the /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/roles/Standalone.yaml file and add the value OS::Heat::None to the service that you want to disable: To enable a service, edit the /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/roles/Standalone.yaml file and remove the value OS::Heat::None from the service that you want to enable:
