Test Drive Caasp2 beta on Openstack Cloud

A potential customer wanted to have a look at Caasp 2 beta. I was trying the steps provided in documentation, but i quickly realized that the platform could be setup on Openstack Cloud as quickly as possible. (Setup everything under 10 mins)

A bit of user-data injection into the node and volla we are ready.

Step1 : Download the Caasp 2.0 beta Openstack Cloud image https://goo.gl/d9bddi . Download only the SUSE-CaaS-Platform-2-OpenStack-Cloud.x86_64-2.0.0-RC1.qcow2 file. Upload it to your glance

# openstack image create --private --protected --disk-format qcow2 --container-format bare --file SUSE-CaaS-P latform-2-OpenStack-Cloud.x86_64-2.0.0-RC1.qcow2 suse-casp-2

Step 2: Setup the user-data files for admin and cluster worker node files

root@xxxx:~ # cat /root/caasp-admin #cloud-config debug: True disable_root: False suse_caasp: role: admin

root@xxxx:~ # cat /root/caasp-node #cloud-config debug: True disable_root: False suse_caasp: role: cluster admin_node: caasp-admin

admin_node: parameter value will be same as the instance id of caasp admin node. Also be careful of the spaces . (These are yaml files, worry about spaces..)

Step 3: Now deploy your admin, master and three worker nodes. Here is deploy-caasp.sh

root@xxxx:~ # cat /root/deploy_caasp.sh #!/usr/bin/bash

source /root/.openrc nova boot --flavor m1.medium --image suse-casp-2 --key-name cloud --security-group Allow-SSH,default,Allow-Salt,Allow-HTTP caasp-admin --user-data /root/caasp-admin

nova boot --flavor m1.medium --image suse-casp-2 --key-name cloud --security-group Allow-SSH,default,Allow-Salt caasp-master --user-data /root/caasp-node

nova boot --flavor m1.medium --image suse-casp-2 --key-name cloud --security-group Allow-SSH,default,Allow-Salt caasp-worker-1 --user- data /root/caasp-node

nova boot --flavor m1.medium --image suse-casp-2 --key-name cloud --security-group Allow-SSH,default,Allow-Salt caasp-worker-2 --user-data /root/caasp-node

nova boot --flavor m1.medium --image suse-casp-2 --key-name cloud --security-group Allow-SSH,default,Allow-Salt caasp-worker-3 --user-data /root/caasp-node

Once you deploy your cluster, you should be able to see your caasp-admin, caasp-master and caasp-worker nodes running on your cluster and opening the admin node HTTP interface should show you the following screen
