This repository contains Ansible roles and playbooks to install, upgrade, and manage OpenShift clusters.
Note: the Ansible playbooks in this repository require an RPM
package that provides docker. Currently, the RPMs from
dockerproject.org do not provide this
requirement, though they may in the future. This limitation is being
tracked by
#2720.
When choosing an openshift release, ensure that the necessary origin packages are available in your distribution's repository. By default, openshift-ansible will not configure extra repositories for testing or staging packages for end users.
We recommend using a release branch. We maintain stable branches corresponding to upstream Origin releases, e.g.: we guarantee an openshift-ansible 3.2 release will fully support an origin 1.2 release.
The most recent branch will often receive minor feature backports and fixes. Older branches will receive only critical fixes.
In addition to the release branches, the master branch master branch tracks our current work in development and should be compatible with the Origin master branch (code in development).
Getting the right openshift-ansible release
Follow this release pattern and you can't go wrong:
| Origin/OCP | OpenShift-Ansible version | openshift-ansible branch |
|---|---|---|
| 1.3 / 3.3 | 3.3 | release-1.3 |
| 1.4 / 3.4 | 3.4 | release-1.4 |
| 1.5 / 3.5 | 3.5 | release-1.5 |
| 3.X | 3.X | release-3.x |
If you're running from the openshift-ansible master branch we can only guarantee compatibility with the newest origin releases in development. Use a branch corresponding to your origin version if you are not running a stable release.
Install base dependencies:
Requirements:
- Ansible >= 2.6.2
- Jinja >= 2.7
- pyOpenSSL
- python-lxml
Fedora:
dnf install -y ansible pyOpenSSL python-cryptography python-lxml
Additional requirements:
Logging:
- java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless
- patch
Metrics:
- httpd-tools
This assumes that you've installed the base dependencies and you're running on Fedora or RHEL
git clone https://github.com/openshift/openshift-ansible
cd openshift-ansible
sudo ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts.localhost playbooks/prerequisites.yml
sudo ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts.localhost playbooks/deploy_cluster.yml
In 3.10 and newer all members of the [nodes] inventory group must be assigned an
openshift_node_group_name. This value is used to select the configmap that
configures each node. By default there are three configmaps created; one for
each node group defined in openshift_node_groups and they're named
node-config-master node-config-infra node-config-compute. It's important
to note that the configmap is also the authoritative definition of node labels,
the old openshift_node_labels value is effectively ignored.
There are also two configmaps that label nodes into multiple roles, these are
not recommended for production clusters, however they're named
node-config-all-in-one and node-config-master-infra if you'd like to use
them to deploy non production clusters.
The default set of node groups is defined in [roles/openshift_facts/defaults/main.yml] like so
openshift_node_groups:
- name: node-config-master
labels:
- 'node-role.kubernetes.io/master=true'
edits: []
- name: node-config-infra
labels:
- 'node-role.kubernetes.io/infra=true'
edits: []
- name: node-config-compute
labels:
- 'node-role.kubernetes.io/compute=true'
edits: []
- name: node-config-master-infra
labels:
- 'node-role.kubernetes.io/infra=true,node-role.kubernetes.io/master=true'
edits: []
- name: node-config-all-in-one
labels:
- 'node-role.kubernetes.io/infra=true,node-role.kubernetes.io/master=true,node-role.kubernetes.io/compute=true'
edits: []
When configuring this in the INI based inventory this must be translated into a
Python dictionary. Here's an example of a group named node-config-all-in-one
which is suitable for an All-In-One installation with
kubeletArguments.pods-per-core set to 20
openshift_node_groups=[{'name': 'node-config-all-in-one', 'labels': ['node-role.kubernetes.io/master=true', 'node-role.kubernetes.io/infra=true', 'node-role.kubernetes.io/compute=true'], 'edits': [{ 'key': 'kubeletArguments.pods-per-core','value': ['20']}]}]
For upgrades, the upgrade process will block until you have the required
configmaps in the openshift-node namespace. Please define
openshift_node_groups as explained above or accept the defaults and run the
playbooks/openshift-master/openshift_node_group.yml playbook to have them
created for you automatically.
