Install via Openstack-helm

Overview

This document specifies procedure for installing tacker service with OpenStack-helm. The goal of OpenStack-helm is to provide a collection of Helm charts that simply, resiliently, and flexibly deploy OpenStack and related services on Kubernetes.

Pre-Requisites for Tacker installation with openstack-helm

Pre-requisite for tacker installation are below:

  1. Clone OpenStack-helm and openstack-helm-infra code in home directory.

    $ git clone https://opendev.org/openstack/openstack-helm.git
$ git clone https://opendev.org/openstack/openstack-helm-infra.git
$ cd openstack-helm

  2. Setup Kubernetes.

    Please refer to install dependencies of Kubernetes Installation [1].

  3. Create namespace with name openstack and provide label to node.

    $ kubectl create ns openstack
$ kubectl label node <node-name> openstack-control-plane=enabled

  4. Setup OpenStack.

    Please refer to install following dependencies of OpenStack Installation:

    • Deploy ingress controller [2].

    • Deploy OpenStack backend [3].

    • Deploy OpenStack [4].

    Here you can see how to install OpenStack and it’s dependencies using openstack-helm.

Note

Barbican must be installed. Although not documented in Deploy OpenStack [4], you must install Barbican using similar procedure. Execute the following script to install Barbican.

$ cd ~/openstack-helm
$ ./tools/deployment/component/barbican/barbican.sh

Install Tacker

  1. Tacker installation with OpenStack-helm will use script tacker.sh.

    Use script tacker.sh to install tacker.

    $ cd ~/openstack-helm
$ ./tools/deployment/component/tacker/tacker.sh

  2. Validate tacker-conductor and tacker-server pods are running and deployment status of helm release is deployed.

    $ kubectl get pods -A | grep tacker
openstack          tacker-conductor-654fc7478-wt242                                1/1     Running     0             58m

openstack          tacker-ks-user-8blcj                                            0/1     Completed   0             58m
openstack          tacker-rabbit-init-tlbj8                                        0/1     Completed   0             58m
openstack          tacker-server-55fcdfdc5d-gj844                                  1/1     Running     0             58m

$ helm ls -A | grep tacker
tacker                  openstack       1               2024-01-05 13:02:43.337535539 +0000 UTC deployed        tacker-0.1.2            v1.0.0s

  3. Validate Tacker api is working properly.

    $ TACKER_SERVER_POD=tacker-server-55fcdfdc5d-gj844
$ kubectl exec -n openstack -it $TACKER_SERVER_POD \
   -- curl -i -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
