Fuel Experience

• Started with a purely Fuel Web install

• This works inconsistently with not very helpful debug information

  • Specifically, we were getting timeouts on the machines which would disconnect and later reconnect
  • Our solution was to simply kill the environment, reboot the machines, and rerun

• While this worked, Fuel Web doesn't support use of Quantum or Swift, which we will want

• This is only supported through the Fuel command line tool

  • Our hope is to write a script to simply inject our known paramaters into these files (config.yaml, astute.yaml, and puppet.conf)
  • However, there are too many undocumented (that we've found) parameters with non-obvious usage

• In an attempt to get some understanding, we ran the Fuel Web installer as before, hoping we could examine how it configured these files

  • However, the Fuel Web doesn't seem to use these files, as they were unmodified after successfully installing

• Direction

  • Ping Mirantis about how to use their tools
  • Gain better insight into how these 'blackbox' tools work
  • Make decision if we even want these tools as opposed to writing our own scripts
