Magnum - Container cluster service

Magnum is an OpenStack service that provides support for deployment and management of container clusters such as Kubernetes. See the Magnum documentation for information on using Magnum.

Configuration

Enable Magnum, in globals.yml:

enable_magnum: true

Optional: enable cluster user trust

This allows the cluster to communicate with OpenStack on behalf of the user that created it, and is necessary for the auto-scaler and auto-healer to work. Note that this is disabled by default since it exposes the cluster to CVE-2016-7404. Ensure that you understand the consequences before enabling this option. In globals.yml:

enable_cluster_user_trust: true

Optional: private CA

If using TLS with a private CA for OpenStack public APIs, the cluster will need to add the CA certificate to its trust store in order to communicate with OpenStack. The certificate must be available in the magnum conductor container. It is copied to the cluster via user-data, so it is better to include only the necessary certificates to avoid exceeding the max Nova API request body size (this may be set via [oslo_middleware] max_request_body_size in nova.conf if necessary). In /etc/kolla/config/magnum.conf:

[drivers]
openstack_ca_file = <path to CA file>

Deployment

To deploy magnum and its dashboard in an existing OpenStack cluster:

kolla-ansible -i <inventory> deploy --tags horizon,magnum
