The glance module is a part of OpenStack, an effort by the OpenStack infrastructure team to provide continuous integration testing and code review for OpenStack and OpenStack community projects as part of the core software. The module its self is used to flexibly configure and manage the image service for OpenStack.

The glance module is a thorough attempt to make Puppet capable of managing the entirety of glance. This includes manifests to provision such things as keystone endpoints, RPC configurations specific to glance, and database connections. Types are shipped as part of the glance module to assist in manipulation of configuration files.

This module is tested in combination with other modules needed to build and leverage an entire OpenStack software stack.

What the glance module affects

• Glance, the image service for OpenStack.

puppet module install openstack/glance

To utilize the glance module's functionality you will need to declare multiple resources. This is not an exhaustive list of all the components needed, we recommend you consult and understand the core openstack documentation.

Define a glance node

class { 'glance::api':
  keystone_tenant     => 'services',
  keystone_user       => 'glance',
  keystone_password   => '12345',
  database_connection => 'mysql://glance:[email protected]/glance',
}

class { 'glance::registry':
  keystone_tenant     => 'services',
  keystone_user       => 'glance',
  keystone_password   => '12345',
  database_connection => 'mysql://glance:[email protected]/glance',
}

class { 'glance::backend::file': }

Setup postgres node glance

class { 'glance::db::postgresql':
  password => '12345',
}

Setup mysql node for glance

class { 'glance::db::mysql':
  password      => '12345',
  allowed_hosts => '%',
}

Setup up keystone endpoints for glance on keystone node

class { 'glance::keystone::auth':
  password     => '12345'
  email        => '[email protected]',
  public_url   => 'http://172.17.0.3:9292',
  admin_url    => 'http://172.17.0.3:9292',
  internal_url => 'http://172.17.1.3:9292',
  region       => 'example-west-1',
}

Setup up notifications for multiple RabbitMQ nodes

class { 'glance::notify::rabbitmq':
  rabbit_password               => 'pass',
  rabbit_userid                 => 'guest',
  rabbit_hosts                  => [
    'localhost:5672', 'remotehost:5672'
  ],
  rabbit_use_ssl                => false,
}

The glance_api_config provider is a children of the ini_setting provider. It allows one to write an entry in the /etc/glance/glance-api.conf file.

glance_api_config { 'DEFAULT/image_cache_dir' :
  value => /var/lib/glance/image-cache,
}

This will write image_cache_dir=/var/lib/glance/image-cache in the [DEFAULT] section.

Section/setting name to manage from glance-api.conf

The value of the setting to be defined.

Whether to hide the value from Puppet logs. Defaults to false.

If value is equal to ensure_absent_val then the resource will behave as if ensure => absent was specified. Defaults to <SERVICE DEFAULT>

The glance_registry_config provider is a children of the ini_setting provider. It allows one to write an entry in the /etc/glance/glance-registry.conf file.

glance_registry_config { 'DEFAULT/workers' :
  value => 1,
}

This will write workers=1 in the [DEFAULT] section.

Section/setting name to manage from glance-registry.conf

The value of the setting to be defined.

Whether to hide the value from Puppet logs. Defaults to false.

If value is equal to ensure_absent_val then the resource will behave as if ensure => absent was specified. Defaults to <SERVICE DEFAULT>

The glance_cache_config provider is a children of the ini_setting provider. It allows one to write an entry in the /etc/glance/glance-cache.conf file.

glance_cache_config { 'DEFAULT/image_cache_stall_time' :
  value => 86400,
}

This will write image_cache_stall_time=86400 in the [DEFAULT] section.

Section/setting name to manage from glance-cache.conf

The value of the setting to be defined.

Whether to hide the value from Puppet logs. Defaults to false.

If value is equal to ensure_absent_val then the resource will behave as if ensure => absent was specified. Defaults to <SERVICE DEFAULT>

glance is a combination of Puppet manifest and ruby code to deliver configuration and extra functionality through types and providers.

• Only supports configuring the file, swift and rbd storage backends.

This module has beaker-rspec tests

To run the tests on the default vagrant node:

To run:

bundle install
bundle exec rspec spec/acceptance
