Automatic Heat template generation

Project description

OpenStack Orchestration project Heat implements an orchestration engine to launch multiple composite cloud applications based on templates. A Heat template describes infrastructure resources (servers, networks, floating ips, etc) and the relationships between these resources, allowing Heat to deploy the resources in a correct order and to manage whole infrastructure lifecycle.

flame is a standalone tool that generates HOT Heat template from already existing infrastructure. It provides support for Nova (key pairs and servers), Cinder (volumes) and Neutron (router, networks, subnets, security groups and floating IPs) resources.

flame works as follows: using provided credentials (user name, project name, password or auth_token, authentication url), the tool will list supported resources deployed in the project and will generate corresponding, highly customized HOT template.

Installation

First of all, clone the repository and go to the repository directory:

git clone https://github.com/openstack/flame.git cd flame

Then just run:

python setup.py install

Usage

usage: flame [-h] [–username USERNAME] [–password PASSWORD]

[–project PROJECT] [–region REGION] [–auth_url AUTH_URL] [–os-auth-token OS_AUTH_TOKEN] [–insecure] [–os-cert <certification>] [–os-key <key>] [–endpoint_type ENDPOINT_TYPE] [–exclude-servers] [–exclude-volumes] [–exclude-keypairs] [–generate-stack-data] [–extract-ports]

optional arguments:

--username USERNAME

A user name with access to the project. Defaults to env[OS_USERNAME]

--password PASSWORD

The user’s password. Defaults to env[OS_PASSWORD]

--project PROJECT

Name of project. Defaults to env[OS_TENANT_NAME]

--region REGION

Name of region. Defaults to env[OS_REGION_NAME]

--auth_url AUTH_URL

Authentication URL. Defaults to env[OS_AUTH_URL].

--os-auth-token OS_AUTH_TOKEN

User’s auth token. Defaults to env[OS_AUTH_TOKEN].

--os-cert <certificate>

Path to user’s certificate needed to establish two-way SSL connection with the identity service. Defaults to env[OS_CERT].

--os-key <key>

Path to the user’s certificate private key. Defaults to env[OS_KEY].

--insecure

Explicitly allow clients to perform”insecure” SSL (https) requests. The server’s certificate will not be verified against any certificate authorities. This option should be used with caution.

--endpoint_type ENDPOINT_TYPE

Defaults to env[OS_ENDPOINT_TYPE] or publicURL

--exclude-servers

Do not export in template server resources

--exclude-volumes

Do not export in template volume resources

--exclude-keypairs

Do not export in template key pair resources

--generate-stack-data

In addition to template, generate Heat stack data file.

--extract-ports

Export the tenant network ports

Usage example

To use Flame you can provide yours OpenStack credentials as arguments :

$ flame –username user –password password –project project –auth_url http://<Keystone_host>:5000/v2.0

Or you can source your OpenStack RC file and use Flame without arguments.

To establish a two-way SSL connection with the identity service :

$flame –username arezmerita –os-auth-token keystonetoken

–project project-arezmerita –auth_url http://<Keystone_host>:5000/v2.0 –os-cert <path/to/certificate> –os-key <path/to/key>

Flame can be used with either a login and password pair or a keystone token by exporting the OS_AUTH_TOKEN variable (the token is obtained with keystone token-get).
