Chapter 2. Configuring and deploying the overcloud for autoscaling You must configure the templates for the services on your overcloud that enable autoscaling. Procedure Create environment templates and a resource registry for autoscaling services before you deploy the overcloud for autoscaling. For more information, see Section 2.1, "Configuring the overcloud for autoscaling" Deploy the overcloud. For more information, see Section 2.2, "Deploying the overcloud for autoscaling" 2.1. Configuring the overcloud for autoscaling Create the environment templates and resource registry that you need to deploy the services that provide autoscaling. Procedure Log in to the undercloud host as the stack user. Create a directory for the autoscaling configuration files: USD mkdir -p USDHOME/templates/autoscaling/ Create the resource registry file for the definitions that the services require for autoscaling: USD cat <<EOF > USDHOME/templates/autoscaling/resources-autoscaling.yaml resource_registry: OS::TripleO::Services::AodhApi: /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/deployment/aodh/aodh-api-container-puppet.yaml OS::TripleO::Services::AodhEvaluator: /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/deployment/aodh/aodh-evaluator-container-puppet.yaml OS::TripleO::Services::AodhListener: /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/deployment/aodh/aodh-listener-container-puppet.yaml OS::TripleO::Services::AodhNotifier: /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/deployment/aodh/aodh-notifier-container-puppet.yaml OS::TripleO::Services::CeilometerAgentCentral: /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/deployment/ceilometer/ceilometer-agent-central-container-puppet.yaml OS::TripleO::Services::CeilometerAgentNotification: /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/deployment/ceilometer/ceilometer-agent-notification-container-puppet.yaml OS::TripleO::Services::ComputeCeilometerAgent: /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/deployment/ceilometer/ceilometer-agent-compute-container-puppet.yaml OS::TripleO::Services::GnocchiApi: /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/deployment/gnocchi/gnocchi-api-container-puppet.yaml OS::TripleO::Services::GnocchiMetricd: /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/deployment/gnocchi/gnocchi-metricd-container-puppet.yaml OS::TripleO::Services::GnocchiStatsd: /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/deployment/gnocchi/gnocchi-statsd-container-puppet.yaml OS::TripleO::Services::HeatApi: /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/deployment/heat/heat-api-container-puppet.yaml OS::TripleO::Services::HeatApiCfn: /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/deployment/heat/heat-api-cfn-container-puppet.yaml OS::TripleO::Services::HeatApiCloudwatch: /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/deployment/heat/heat-api-cloudwatch-disabled-puppet.yaml OS::TripleO::Services::HeatEngine: /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/deployment/heat/heat-engine-container-puppet.yaml OS::TripleO::Services::Redis: /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/deployment/database/redis-pacemaker-puppet.yaml EOF Create an environment template to configure the services required for autoscaling: cat <<EOF > USDHOME/templates/autoscaling/parameters-autoscaling.yaml parameter_defaults: NotificationDriver: 'messagingv2' GnocchiDebug: false CeilometerEnableGnocchi: true ManagePipeline: true ManageEventPipeline: true EventPipelinePublishers: - gnocchi://?archive_policy=generic PipelinePublishers: - gnocchi://?archive_policy=generic ManagePolling: true ExtraConfig: ceilometer::agent::polling::polling_interval: 60 EOF If you use Red Hat Ceph Storage as the data storage back end for the time-series database service, add the following parameters to your parameters-autoscaling.yaml file: parameter_defaults: GnocchiRbdPoolName: 'metrics' GnocchiBackend: 'rbd' You must create the defined archive policy generic before you can store metrics. You define this archive policy after the deployment. For more information, see Section 3.1, "Creating the generic archive policy for autoscaling" . Set the polling_interval parameter, for example, 60 seconds. The value of the polling_interval parameter must match the gnocchi granularity value that you defined when you created the archive policy. For more information, see Section 3.1, "Creating the generic archive policy for autoscaling" . Deploy the overcloud. For more information, see Section 2.2, "Deploying the overcloud for autoscaling" 2.2. Deploying the overcloud for autoscaling You can deploy the overcloud for autoscaling by using director or by using a standalone environment. Prerequisites You have created the environment templates for deploying the services that provide autoscaling capabilities. For more information, see Section 2.1, "Configuring the overcloud for autoscaling" . Procedure Section 2.2.1, "Deploying the overcloud for autoscaling by using director" Section 2.2.2, "Deploying the overcloud for autoscaling in a standalone environment" 2.2.1. Deploying the overcloud for autoscaling by using director Use director to deploy the overcloud. If you are using a standalone environment, see Section 2.2.2, "Deploying the overcloud for autoscaling in a standalone environment" . Prerequisites A deployed undercloud. For more information, see Installing director on the undercloud . Procedure Log in to the undercloud as the stack user. Source the stackrc undercloud credentials file: [stack@director ~]USD source ~/stackrc Add the autoscaling environment files to the stack with your other environment files and deploy the overcloud: (undercloud)USD openstack overcloud deploy --templates \ -e [your environment files] \ -e USDHOME/templates/autoscaling/parameters-autoscaling.yaml \ -e USDHOME/templates/autoscaling/resources-autoscaling.yaml 2.2.2. Deploying the overcloud for autoscaling in a standalone environment To test the environment files in a pre-production environment, you can deploy the overcloud with the services required for autoscaling by using a standalone deployment. Note This procedure uses example values and commands that you must change to suit a production environment. If you want to use director to deploy the overcloud for autoscaling, see Section 2.2.1, "Deploying the overcloud for autoscaling by using director" . Prerequisites An all-in-one RHOSP environment has been staged with the python3-tripleoclient. For more information, see Installing the all-in-one Red Hat OpenStack Platform environment . An all-in-one RHOSP environment has been staged with the base configuration. For more information, see Configuring the all-in-one Red Hat OpenStack Platform environment . Procedure Change to the user that manages your overcloud deployments, for example, the stack user: Replace or set the environment variables USDIP , USDNETMASK and USDVIP for the overcloud deployment: USD export IP=192.168.25.2 USD export VIP=192.168.25.3 USD export NETMASK=24 Deploy the overcloud to test and verify the resource and parameter files: USD sudo openstack tripleo deploy \ --templates \ --local-ip=USDIP/USDNETMASK \ --control-virtual-ip=USDVIP \ -e /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/environments/standalone/standalone-tripleo.yaml \ -r /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/roles/Standalone.yaml \ -e USDHOME/containers-prepare-parameters.yaml \ -e USDHOME/standalone_parameters.yaml \ -e USDHOME/templates/autoscaling/resources-autoscaling.yaml \ -e USDHOME/templates/autoscaling/parameters-autoscaling.yaml \ --output-dir USDHOME \ --standalone Export the OS_CLOUD environment variable: USD export OS_CLOUD=standalone Additional resources Director Installation and Usage guide. Standalone Deployment Guide . 2.3. Verifying the overcloud deployment for autoscaling Verify that the autoscaling services are deployed and enabled. Verification output is from a standalone environment, but director-based environments provide similar output. Prerequisites You have deployed the autoscaling services in an existing overcloud using standalone or director. For more information, see Section 2.2, "Deploying the overcloud for autoscaling" . Procedure Log in to your environment as the stack user. For standalone environments set the OS_CLOUD environment variable: [stack@standalone ~]USD export OS_CLOUD=standalone For director environments, source the overcloudrc overcloud credentials file: [stack@undercloud ~]USD source ~/overcloudrc Verification Verify that the deployment was successful and ensure that the service API endpoints for autoscaling are available: USD openstack endpoint list
