Overview
TODO: Bin to add a few words describing overall goal of this document!
Airship
Airship is a collection of loosely coupled but interoperable open source tools that declaratively automate cloud provisioning.
Airship is a robust delivery mechanism for organizations who want to embrace containers as the new unit of infrastructure delivery at scale. Starting from raw bare metal infrastructure, Airship manages the full lifecycle of data center infrastructure to deliver a production-grade Kubernetes cluster with Helm deployed artifacts, including OpenStack-Helm. Airship allows operators to manage their infrastructure deployments and lifecycle through the declarative YAML documents that describe an Airship environment.
See more at https://www.airshipit.org/ .
OpenStack Helm
OpenStack-Helm is a set of Helm charts to enable deployment, maintenance, and upgrading of loosely coupled OpenStack services and their dependencies individually or as part of complex environments.
See more at https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Openstack-helm/ .
Treasuremap
Treasuremap is a documentation, deployment reference as well as CI/CD project for Airship.
Airship site deployments are using the treasuremap
repository as a global
manifest set (YAML configuration documents) that then are overridden with site specific configuration (networking details, disk layout, etc).
See more at https://airship-treasuremap.readthedocs.io/ .
Deployment
The Airship installer is delivered in a form of site
and type
manifests, as well as deployment script. This helps automating and adjusting the Airship to the OPNFV reference lab Intel POD17.
Manifests
All site configuration is divided in three layers - global
, type
and site
. They are hierarchical and meant as overrides from one layer to another. This means that global
is baseline for all sites, type
is a subset of common overrides for a number of sites with common configuration patters (e.g. similar hardware, or need of enabled features), and finally the site
is the last layer of site specific overrides and configuration (such as specific IP addresses, hostnames, etc). See Deckhand documentation for more details on layering.
Global
Global manifests contain base configuration including version to all the Helm charts and Docker images specified in versions.yaml.
Type
The type cntt
will eventually support specifications published by the CNTT community, see CNTT type.
Site
The site documents reside under site
folder. While there already are, and will be more sites published in future, the intel-pod17
shall be considered as Airship OPNFV reference site, see more at POD17 manifests.
The site-definition.yaml ties together site
with the specific type and global
manifests.
