OpenShift Ansible

This repository contains Ansible roles and playbooks to install, upgrade, and manage OpenShift clusters.

Note: the Ansible playbooks in this repository require an RPM package that provides docker. Currently, the RPMs from dockerproject.org do not provide this requirement, though they may in the future. This limitation is being tracked by #2720.

Getting the correct version

When choosing an openshift release, ensure that the necessary origin packages are available in your distribution's repository. By default, openshift-ansible will not configure extra repositories for testing or staging packages for end users.

We recommend using a release branch. We maintain stable branches corresponding to upstream Origin releases, e.g.: we guarantee an openshift-ansible 3.2 release will fully support an origin 1.2 release.

The most recent branch will often receive minor feature backports and fixes. Older branches will receive only critical fixes.

In addition to the release branches, the master branch master branch tracks our current work in development and should be compatible with the Origin master branch (code in development).

Getting the right openshift-ansible release

Follow this release pattern and you can't go wrong:

Origin/OCP OpenShift-Ansible version openshift-ansible branch
1.3 / 3.3 3.3 release-1.3
1.4 / 3.4 3.4 release-1.4
1.5 / 3.5 3.5 release-1.5
3.X 3.X release-3.x

If you're running from the openshift-ansible master branch we can only guarantee compatibility with the newest origin releases in development. Use a branch corresponding to your origin version if you are not running a stable release.

Setup

Install base dependencies:

Requirements:

  • Ansible >= 2.6, Ansible 2.7 is supported
  • Jinja >= 2.7
  • pyOpenSSL
  • python-lxml

Fedora:

dnf install -y ansible pyOpenSSL python-cryptography python-lxml

Additional requirements:

Logging:

  • java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless
  • patch

Metrics:

  • httpd-tools

Simple all-in-one localhost Installation

This assumes that you've installed the base dependencies and you're running on Fedora or RHEL

git clone https://github.com/openshift/openshift-ansible
cd openshift-ansible
sudo ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts.localhost playbooks/prerequisites.yml
sudo ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts.localhost playbooks/deploy_cluster.yml

Node Group Definition and Mapping

In 3.10 and newer all members of the [nodes] inventory group must be assigned an openshift_node_group_name. This value is used to select the configmap that configures each node. By default there are three configmaps created; one for each node group defined in openshift_node_groups and they're named node-config-master node-config-infra node-config-compute. It's important to note that the configmap is also the authoritative definition of node labels, the old openshift_node_labels value is effectively ignored.

There are also two configmaps that label nodes into multiple roles, these are not recommended for production clusters, however they're named node-config-all-in-one and node-config-master-infra if you'd like to use them to deploy non production clusters.

The default set of node groups is defined in [roles/openshift_facts/defaults/main.yml] like so

openshift_node_groups:
  - name: node-config-master
    labels:
      - 'node-role.kubernetes.io/master=true'
    edits: []
  - name: node-config-infra
    labels:
      - 'node-role.kubernetes.io/infra=true'
    edits: []
  - name: node-config-compute
    labels:
      - 'node-role.kubernetes.io/compute=true'
    edits: []
  - name: node-config-master-infra
    labels:
      - 'node-role.kubernetes.io/infra=true,node-role.kubernetes.io/master=true'
    edits: []
  - name: node-config-all-in-one
    labels:
      - 'node-role.kubernetes.io/infra=true,node-role.kubernetes.io/master=true,node-role.kubernetes.io/compute=true'
    edits: []

When configuring this in the INI based inventory this must be translated into a Python dictionary. Here's an example of a group named node-config-all-in-one which is suitable for an All-In-One installation with kubeletArguments.pods-per-core set to 20

openshift_node_groups=[{'name': 'node-config-all-in-one', 'labels': ['node-role.kubernetes.io/master=true', 'node-role.kubernetes.io/infra=true', 'node-role.kubernetes.io/compute=true'], 'edits': [{ 'key': 'kubeletArguments.pods-per-core','value': ['20']}]}]

For upgrades, the upgrade process will block until you have the required configmaps in the openshift-node namespace. Please define openshift_node_groups as explained above or accept the defaults and run the playbooks/openshift-master/openshift_node_group.yml playbook to have them created for you automatically.
