Vagrant OpenStack Cloud Provider

This is a Vagrant 1.2+ plugin that adds an OpenStack Cloud provider to Vagrant, allowing Vagrant to control and provision machines within an OpenStack cloud.

This plugin started as a fork of the Vagrant Rackspace provider.

Note: This plugin requires Vagrant 1.2+. The last version of this plugin supporting Vagrant 1.1 is 0.3.0.

Features

• Boot OpenStack Cloud instances.
• SSH into the instances.
• Provision the instances with any built-in Vagrant provisioner.
• Minimal synced folder support via rsync.
• Create instances with a specific list of networks

Usage

$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-openstack-cloud-provider
$ cat <<EOF > Vagrantfile
require 'vagrant-openstack-cloud-provider'

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|

  # This is a publicly available dummy box.
  config.vm.box = "sharpie/dummy"

  config.vm.provider :openstack do |os|
    os.username = "${OS_USERNAME}"
    os.api_key  = "${OS_PASSWORD}"
    os.flavor   = /m1.tiny/
    os.image    = /Ubuntu/
    os.endpoint = "${OS_AUTH_URL}/tokens"
    os.keypair_name = "" # Your keypair name
    os.ssh_username = "" # Your image SSH username
    os.public_network_name = "public" # Your Neutron network name
    os.networks = %w() # Additional neutron networks
    os.tenant = "${OS_TENANT_NAME}"
    os.region = "${OS_REGION_NAME}"
  end
end
EOF
$ vagrant up --provider=openstack
...

Configuration

This provider exposes quite a few provider-specific configuration options:

• api_key - The API key for accessing OpenStack.
• flavor - The server flavor to boot. This can be a string matching the exact ID or name of the server, or this can be a regular expression to partially match some server flavor.
• image - The server image to boot. This can be a string matching the exact ID or name of the image, or this can be a regular expression to partially match some image.
• endpoint - The keystone authentication URL of your OpenStack installation.
• server_name - The name of the server within the OpenStack Cloud. This defaults to the name of the Vagrant machine (via config.vm.define), but can be overridden with this.
• username - The username with which to access OpenStack.
• keypair_name - The name of the keypair to access the machine.
• ssh_username - The username to access the machine.
• public_network_name - The name of the public network within your Openstack cluster
• networks - A list -- use %w(net1 net2) -- of networks to configure on your instance.
• tenant - The name of the tenant on which the virtual machine should spawn.

These can be set like typical provider-specific configuration:

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  # ... other stuff

  config.vm.provider :openstack do |os|
    os.username = "mitchellh"
    os.api_key  = "foobarbaz"
  end
end

Networks

Networking features in the form of config.vm.network are not supported with vagrant-openstack, currently. If any of these are specified, Vagrant will emit a warning, but will otherwise boot the OpenStack server.

Synced Folders

There is minimal support for synced folders. Upon vagrant up, vagrant reload, and vagrant provision, the OpenStack provider will use rsync (if available) to uni-directionally sync the folder to the remote machine over SSH.

This is good enough for all built-in Vagrant provisioners (shell, chef, and puppet) to work!

Development

To work on the vagrant-openstack-cloud-provider plugin, clone this repository out, and use Bundler to get the dependencies:

$ bundle

Once you have the dependencies, verify the unit tests pass with rake:

$ bundle exec rake

If those pass, you're ready to start developing the plugin. You can test the plugin without installing it into your Vagrant environment by just creating a Vagrantfile in the top level of this directory (it is gitignored) that uses it, and uses bundler to execute Vagrant:

$ bundle exec vagrant up --provider=openstack
