This charm acts as a proxy to OpenStack and provides an interface to provide a set of credentials for a somewhat limited project user to the applications that are related to this charm.

Usage

When on OpenStack, this charm can be deployed, granted trust via Juju to access OpenStack, and then related to an application that supports the interface.

For example, Charmed Kubernetes has support for this, and can be deployed with the following bundle overlay (download it here):

applications:
  openstack-integrator:
    charm: openstack-integrator
    num_units: 1
    trust: true
relations:
  - ['openstack-integrator', 'kubernetes-control-plane:openstack']
  - ['openstack-integrator', 'kubernetes-worker:openstack']

Using Juju 2.4 or later:

juju deploy charmed-kubernetes --overlay ./k8s-openstack-overlay.yaml --trust

To deploy with earlier versions of Juju, you will need to provide the cloud credentials via the credentials, charm config options.

Resource Usage Note

By relating to this charm, other charms can directly allocate resources, such as PersistentDisk volumes and Load Balancers, which could lead to cloud charges and count against quotas. Because these resources are not managed by Juju, they will not be automatically deleted when the models or applications are destroyed, nor will they show up in Juju’s status or GUI. It is therefore up to the operator to manually delete these resources when they are no longer needed, using the OpenStack console or API.

Examples

Following are some examples using OpenStack integration with Charmed Kubernetes.

Creating a pod with a PersistentDisk-backed volume

This script creates a busybox pod with a persistent volume claim backed by OpenStack’s PersistentDisk.

#!/bin/bash

# create a persistent volume claim using the StorageClass which is
# automatically created by Charmed Kubernetes when it is related to
# the openstack-integrator
kubectl create -f - <<EOY
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
  name: testclaim
spec:
  accessModes:
    - ReadWriteOnce
  resources:
    requests:
      storage: 100Mi
  storageClassName: cdk-cinder
EOY

# create the busybox pod with a volume using that PVC:
kubectl create -f - <<EOY
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: busybox
  namespace: default
spec:
  containers:
    - image: busybox
      command:
        - sleep
        - "3600"
      imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
      name: busybox
      volumeMounts:
        - mountPath: "/pv"
          name: testvolume
  restartPolicy: Always
  volumes:
    - name: testvolume
      persistentVolumeClaim:
        claimName: testclaim
EOY

Creating a service with a OpenStack load-balancer

The following script starts the hello-world pod behind a OpenStack-backed load-balancer.

kubectl create deployment hello-world --image=gcr.io/google-samples/node-hello:1.0
kubectl scale deployment hello-world --replicas=5
kubectl expose deployment hello-world --type=LoadBalancer --name=hello --port=8080
watch kubectl get svc hello -o wide
