Table of Contents

About Apache Cloudstack

Apache CloudStack is open source software designed to deploy and manage large networks of virtual machines, as a highly available, highly scalable Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud computing platform.

More info on: http://cloudstack.apache.org/

Requirements

Cookbooks

  • yum - packages management
  • apt - packages management
  • mysql - for MySQL database server and client
  • sudo - to configure sudoers for user cloud

There is a dependency on Ruby gem cloudstack_ruby_client for chef which is handle in recipe[cloudstack::default].

Resources / Providers

cloudstack_setup_database

Create MySQL database and connection configuration used by CloudStack management-server using /usr/bin/cloudstack-setup-databases utility.

# Using attributes
cloudstack_setup_database node['cloudstack']['db']['host'] do
  root_user     node['cloudstack']['db']['rootusername']
  root_password node['cloudstack']['db']['rootpassword']
  user          node['cloudstack']['db']['username']
  password      node['cloudstack']['db']['password']
  action        :create
end
# using mysql cookbook and CloudStack default passwords
cloudstack_setup_database node['cloudstack']['db']['host'] do
  action        :create
end

cloudstack_system_template

Download initial SystemVM template prior to initialize a CloudStack Region. cloudstack_system_template require access to CloudStack database which must be initated before executing this ressource. If no URL is provided cloudstack_system_template will use the default URL from the database if available to download the template.

# Using attributes
cloudstack_system_template 'xenserver' do
  url         node['cloudstack']['systemvm']['xenserver']
  nfs_path    node['cloudstack']['secondary']['path']
  nfs_server  node['cloudstack']['secondary']['host']
  db_user     node['cloudstack']['db']['username']
  db_password node['cloudstack']['db']['password']
  db_host     node['cloudstack']['db']['host']
end

Which is equivalent to:

/usr/share/cloudstack-common/scripts/storage/secondary/cloud-install-sys-tmplt \
  -m /mnt/secondary \
  -u http://cloudstack.apt-get.eu/systemvm/4.4/systemvm64template-4.4.1-7-xen.vhd.bz2 \
  -h xenserver \
  -F

Simpler example:

# Using URL from CloudStack database
cloudstack_system_template 'kvm' do
end

cloudstack_setup_management

Post package installation and Database Creation for CloudStack, cloudstack-management service must be configure using a script /usr/bin/cloudstack-setup-management.

cloudstack_setup_management node.name

cloudstack_api_keys

Generate api keys for account. Currently working only for admin account.

Will update attributes:

  • node['cloudstack']['admin']['api_key']
  • node['cloudstack']['admin']['secret_key']
# Create API key if now exist in Cloudstack and update node attributes
cloudstack_api_keys 'admin' do
  action :create
end
# Generate new API Keys
cloudstack_api_keys 'admin' do
  action :reset
end

cloudstack_global_setting

Update Global Settings values.

cloudstack_global_setting 'expunge.delay' do
  value '80'
  notifies :restart, 'service[cloudstack-management]', :delayed
end
