DCI OpenShift Agent

dci-openshift-agent provides Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (RHOCP) in Red Hat Distributed CI service.

Table of Contents

Requirements

Systems requirements

DCI OpenShift Agent needs a dedicated system to act as a controller node. It is identified as the DCI Jumpbox in this document. This system will be added to a standard OCP topology by being connected to the OCP baremetal network. The DCI OpenShift Agent will drive the RHOCP installation workflow from there.

Therefore, the simplest working setup must be composed of at least 5 systems (1 system for DCI and 4 systems to match OCP minimum requirements).

Please follow the OpenShift Baremetal Deploy Guide (a.k.a. openshift-kni) for how to properly configure the OCP networks and systems.

Choose the OCP version you want to install and follow steps 1 to 3 to configure the networks and install RHEL 8 on the OpenShift Provisioning node. Steps after 4 will be handled by the dci-openshift-agent.

  1. Installation of DCI Jumpbox
  2. Configuration
  3. Copying the ssh key to your provisionhost
  4. Starting the DCI OCP Agent

As mentioned before, the DCI Jumpbox is NOT part of the RHOCP cluster. It is only dedicated to download RHOCP artifacts from DCI public infrastructure and to schedule the RHOCP cluster deployment across all systems under test (1x OpenShift Provisioning node and several OCP nodes).

The OpenShift Provisioning node is used by the OpenShift installer to provision the OpenShift cluster nodes.

The 3 remaining systems will run the freshly installed OCP Cluster. “3” is the minimum required number of nodes to run RHOCP but it can be more if you need to.

Jumpbox requirements

The Jumpbox can be a physical server or a virtual machine. In any case, it must:

Systems under test

Systems under test will be installed through DCI workflow with each job and form the new “fresh” RHOCP cluster.

All files on these systems are NOT persistent between each dci-openshift-agent job as the RHOCP cluster is reinstalled at each time. Therefore, every expected customization and tests have to be automated from the DCI Jumpbox (by using hooks) and will therefore be applied after each deployment (More info at Configuration).

Optional

  • We strongly advise the partners to provide the Red Hat DCI team with access to their jumpbox. This way, Red Hat engineers can help with initial setup and troubleshooting.

  • We suggest to run the full virtualized provided example first to understand how the dci-openshift-agent works before going to production with a real lab.

Installation of DCI Jumpbox

Before proceeding you should have set up your networks and systems according to the baremetal-deploy doc that was referenced above.

Provision the Jumphost with RHEL8.

The dci-openshift-agent is packaged and available as a RPM file. However,dci-release and epel-release must be installed first:

# dnf -y install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
# dnf -y install https://packages.distributed-ci.io/dci-release.el8.noarch.rpm
# subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms
# subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms
# dnf -y install dci-openshift-agent

Configuration

There are three configuration files for dci-openshift-agent: /etc/dci-openshift-agent/dcirc.sh, /etc/dci-openshift-agent/hosts and /etc/dci-openshift-agent/settings.yml.

  • /etc/dci-openshift-agent/dcirc.sh

Note: The initial copy of dcirc.sh is shipped as /etc/dci-openshift-agent/dcirc.sh.dist.

Copy this to /etc/dci-openshift-agent/dcirc.sh to get started, then replace inline some values with your own credentials.

From the web the DCI web dashboard, the partner team administrator has to create a Remote CI in the DCI web dashboard.

Copy the relative credential and paste it locally on the Jumpbox to /etc/dci-openshift-agent/dcirc.sh.

This file should be edited once:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
DCI_CS_URL="https://api.distributed-ci.io/"
DCI_CLIENT_ID=remoteci/<remoteci_id>
DCI_API_SECRET=<remoteci_api_secret>
export DCI_CLIENT_ID
export DCI_API_SECRET
export DCI_CS_URL
  • /etc/dci-openshift-agent/settings.yml

This is the dci openshift agent settings (format is .ini). Use this to specify which version of OCP to install.

Variable Required Type Description
topic True String Name of the topic. OCP-4.5 and up.
dci_components_by_query False List Component by query. ['name:4.5.9']
dci_components False List Component by UUID. ['acaf3f29-22bb-4b9f-b5ac-268958a9a67f']
dci_openshift_agent_conformance False String If defined we will run that category of conformance test
baremetal_deploy_version False String Allows you to lock upstream baremetal repo to specific version
  • /etc/dci-openshift-agent/hosts

This file is an Ansible inventory file (format is .ini). It includes the configuration for the dci-openshift-agent job and the inventory for the masters, workers (if any) and the provisionhost.

Example:

[all:vars]
prov_nic=eno1
pub_nic=eno2
domain=example.com
cluster=dciokd
dnsvip=192.168.10.41
cluster_pro_if=eno1
masters_prov_nic=eno1
prov_ip=172.22.0.3
dir="{{ ansible_user_dir }}/clusterconfigs"
ipv6_enabled=false
cache_enabled=True

# Master nodes
[masters]
master-0 name=master-0 role=master ipmi_user=ADMIN ipmi_password=ADMIN ipmi_address=ipmi-master-0.dciokd.example.com provision_mac=ac:1f:6b:7d:dd:44 hardware_profile=default labels='{"node-role.kubernetes.io.foo":"", "node-role.kubernetes.io.bar":""}'
master-1 name=master-1 role=master ipmi_user=ADMIN ipmi_password=ADMIN ipmi_address=ipmi-master-1.dciokd.example.com provision_mac=ac:1f:6b:6c:ff:ee hardware_profile=default labels='{"node-role.kubernetes.io.bar":""}'
master-2 name=master-2 role=master ipmi_user=ADMIN ipmi_password=ADMIN ipmi_address=ipmi-master-2.dciokd.example.com provision_mac=ac:1f:6b:29:33:3c hardware_profile=default

# Worker nodes
[workers]

# Provision Host
[provisioner]
provisionhost ansible_user=kni prov_nic=eno1 pub_nic=ens3 ansible_ssh_common_args="-o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null"

Overloading settings and hooks directories

To allow storing the settings and the hooks in a different directory, you can set /etc/dci-openshift-agent/config like this:

CONFIG_DIR=/var/lib/dci-openshift-agent/config

This will allow you to use a version control system for all your settings.

If you want to also store the hooks in the same directory, you have to specify dci_config_dirs in your settings.yml. Example:

---
dci_topic: OCP-4.7
dci_config_dirs: [/var/lib/dci-openshift-agent/config]

Copying the ssh key to your provisionhost

# su - dci-openshift-agent
% ssh-keygen
% ssh-copy-id kni@provisionhost

Starting the DCI OCP Agent

Now that you have configured the DCI OpenShift Agent, you can start the service.

Please note that the service is a systemd Type=oneshot. This means that if you need to run a DCI job periodically, you have to configure a systemd timer or a crontab.

$ systemctl start dci-openshift-agent

If you need to run the dci-openshift-agent manually in foreground, you can use this command line:

# su - dci-openshift-agent
% dci-openshift-agent-ctl -s -- -v

dci-openshift-agent workflow

Step 0 : “New DCI job”

  • Create a DCI job

tags: job runs on localhost

Step 1 : “Pre-run”

  • Prepare the Jumpbox: /plays/pre-run.yml
  • Deploy infrastructure if needed: /hooks/pre-run.yml

tags: pre-run runs on localhost

Step 2 : “Configure”

  • Prepare provisioner: /plays/configure-provisioner.yml and /hooks/configure.yml

tags: running, configure runs on provisioner

Step 3a : “Installing”

  • Start OpenShift install: /plays/install.yml and /hooks/install.yml. This is launched the variable dci_main is undefined or equal to install.

tags: running, installing runs on provisioner

Step 3b : “Upgrading”

  • Start OpenShift upgrade: /plays/upgrade.yml and /hooks/upgrade.yml. This is launched when the variable dci_main is set to upgrade.

tags: running, upgrading runs on provisioner

Step 4 : “Red Hat tests”

  • start Red Hat tests: /plays/tests.yml

tags: running, testing, redhat-testing runs on localhost

Step 5 : “Partner tests”

  • start partner tests: /hooks/tests.yml

tags: running, testing, partner-testing runs on localhost

Step 6 : “Post-run”

  • Start post-run to collect results: /plays/post-run.yml and /hooks/post-run.yml
  • Note: All results files (logs, tests, ...) must be stored within the {{ dci_cluster_configs_dir }}/ directory in order to be properly uploaded to the DCI server. Test result files must follow the Junit format and the file name must follow the pattern "junit_*.xml".

tags: post-run runs on localhost

Step 7 : “Success”

  • Launch additional tasks when the job is successful: /hooks/success.yml

tags: success runs on localhost

Exit playbooks: The following playbooks are executed sequentially at any step that fail:

  • Teardown: /hooks/teardown.yml
  • Failure: /plays/failure.yml during the running steps and /plays/error.yml during the other steps.

All the task files located in directory /etc/dci-openshift-agent/hooks/ are empty by default and should be customized by the user.

All the tasks prefixed with test_ will get exported in Junit using the Ansible Junit callback and submitted automatically to the DCI control server.

Getting Involved

Testing a change

If you want to test a change from a Gerrit review or from a Github PR, use the dci-check-change command. Example:

$ dci-check-change 21136

to check https://softwarefactory-project.io/r/#/c/21136/ or from a Github:

$ dci-check-change https://github.com/myorg/config/pull/42

Regarding Github, you will need a token to access private repositories stored in ~/.github_token.

By convention, the settings.yml and hosts files are searched in directories ending in config.

You can use dci-queue from the dci-pipeline package to manage a queue of changes. To enable it, add the name of the queue into /etc/dci-openshift-agent/config:

DCI_QUEUE=<queue name>

If you have multiple prefixes, you can also enable it in /etc/dci-openshift-agent/config:

USE_PREFIX=1

Local dev environment

For dev purposes, it is important to be able to run and test the code directly on your dev environment so without using the package manager.

In order to run the agent without using the RPM package, you need to move the three configuration files (settings.yml, dcirc.sh and hosts) in the directory of the git repo.

Then, you need to modify dev-ansible.cfg two variables: inventory and roles_path (baremetal_deploy_repo).

Also, in order to install package with the ansible playbook, you need to add rights to dci-openshift-agent user:

# cp dci-openshift-agent.sudo /etc/sudoers.d/dci-openshift-agent

Finally, you can run the script:

# Option -d for dev mode
# Overrides variables with group_vars/dev
% ./dci-openshift-agent-ctl -s -c settings.yml -d -- -e @group_vars/dev

Create your DCI account on distributed-ci.io

Every user needs to create his personal account by connecting to https://www.distributed-ci.io by using a Red Hat SSO account.

The account will be created in the DCI database at the first connection with the SSO account. For now, there is no reliable way to know your team automatically. Please contact the DCI team when this step has been reached, to be assigned in the correct organisation.
