Ansible Service Broker Configuration Examples

The behavior of the broker is largely dictated by the broker's configuration file loaded on startup and contains:

Registry Configuration

The Registry section will allow you to define the registries that the broker should look at for APBs. All the registry config options are defined below

field description Required
name The name of the registry. Used by the broker to identify APBs from this registry. Y
user The username for authenticating to the registry N
pass The password for authenticating to the registry N
org The namespace/organization that the image is contained in N
type The type of registry. The only adapters so far are mock, RHCC, openshift, and dockerhub. Y
url The url that is used to retrieve image information. Used extensively for RHCC while the docker hub adapter uses hard-coded URLs. N
fail_on_error Should this registry fail the bootstrap request if it fails. will stop the execution of other registries loading. N
white_list The list of regular expressions used to define which image names should be allowed through. N
black_list The list of regular expressions used to define which images names should never be allowed through. N
images The list of images to be used with OpenShift Registry. N

For filter please look at the filtering documentation.

Production

The Production broker configuration is designed to be pointed at a trusted container distribution registry.

registry:
  - name: rhcc
    url: http://rhcc.redhat.com/api
    user: USER
    pass: PASS

Development

The developer configuration is primarily used by developers working on the broker. Set the registry name to 'dev' and 'devbroker' field to 'true' to enable developer settings.

registry:
  name: dev

broker:
  devbroker: true

Mock Registry

Using a Mock registry is useful for reading local APB specs. Instead of going out to a registry to search for image specs, use a list of local specs. Set the name of the registry to 'mock' to use the Mock registry.

registry:
  - name: mock
    type: mock

Dockerhub Registry

Using the dockerhub registry will allow you to load APBs from a specific organization dockerhub. A good example is the examples organization.

registry:
  - name: dockerhub
    type: dockerhub
    org: ansibleplaybookbundle
    user: user
    pass: password

Red Hat Container Catalog (RHCC) Registry

Using the RHCC (Red Hat Container Catalog) registry will allow you to load APBs that are published to this type of registry.

registry:
  - name: rhcc
    type: rhcc
    url: <rhcc url>

OpenShift Registry

Using the OpenShift registry will allow you to load APBs that are published to this type of registry.

registry:
  - name: openshift
    type: openshift
    user: <RH_user>
    pass: <RH_pass>
    url: <openshift_url>
    images:
      - <image_1>
      - <image_2>

There is a limitation when working with the OpenShift Registry right now. We have no capability to search the registry so we require that the user configure the broker with a list of images they would like to source from for when the broker bootstraps. The image name must be the fully qualified name without the registry URL.

Multiple Registries Example

You can use more then one registry to separate APBs into logical organizations and be able to manage them from the same broker. The main thing here is that the registries must have a unique non-empty name. If there is no unique name the service broker will fail to start with an error message alerting you to the problem.

registry:
  - name: dockerhub
    type: dockerhub
    org: ansibleplaybookbundle
    user: user
    pass: password
  - name: rhcc
    type: rhcc
    url: <rhcc url>

DAO Configuration

field description Required
etcd_host The url of the etcd host. Y
etcd_port The port to use when communicating with etcd_host Y

Log Configuration

field description Required
logfile Where to write the broker's logs Y
stdout Write logs to stdout Y
level Level of the log output Y
color Color the logs Y

OpenShift Configuration

field description Required
host OpenShift host N
ca_file Location of the certificate authority file N
bearer_token_file Location of bearer token to be used N
image_pull_policy When to pull the image Y
sandbox_role Role to give to apb sandbox environment Y

Broker Configuration

The broker config section will tell the broker what functionality should be enabled and disabled. It will also tell the broker where to find files on disk that will enable the full functionality.

Note: with the absence of async bind, setting launch_apb_on_bind to true can cause the bind action to timeout and will span a retry. The broker will handle with with 409 Conflicts because it is the same bind request with different parameters.

field description default value required
dev_broker Allow development routes to be accessible false N
launch_apb_on_bind Allow bind be be no op false N
bootstrap_on_startup Allow the broker attempt to bootstrap itself on start up. Will retrieve the APBs from configured registries false N
recovery Allow the broker to attempt to recover itself by dealing with pending jobs noted in etcd false N
output_request Allow the broker to output the requests to the log file as they come in for easier debugging false N
ssl_cert_key Tells the broker where to find the tls key file. Can be ignored if using --insecure option but otherwise is required "" N
ssl_cert Tells the broker where to find the tls crt file. Can be ignored if using the --insecure option but otherwise is required "" N
refresh_interval The interval to query registries for new image specs "600s" N

Secrets Configuration

The secrets config section will create associations between secrets in the broker's namespace and apbs the broker runs. The broker will use these rules to mount secrets into running apbs, allowing the user to use secrets to pass parameters without exposing them to the catalog or users. The config section is a list where each entry has the following structure:

field description Required
title The title of the rule. This is just for display/output purposes. Y
apb_name The name of the APB to associate with the specified secret. This is the fully qualified name (registry_name-org-image-tag). Y
secret The name of the secret to pull parameters from. Y

You can use the script in scripts/create_broker_secret.py to create and format this configuration section.

Secrets Example

secrets:
- title: Database credentials
  secret: db_creds
  apb_name: dh-fabianvf-rhscl-postgresql-apb-latest
