RADIO EDIT

One click deploying of an integrated openstack cloud on rackspace cloud files.

OpenStack is under active development with many different projects:

• nova - compute
• glance - image delievery
• swift - object storage
• keystone - identity / authentication
• dash - dashbaord

As they are all changing rapidly, we need a way to deploy an integrated system. With a single button push an automated install.

Goal

Provide a webpage that:

• Lists all running the stack
• Can spawn a new stacks with the click of the button:
• Starts a cloud server
• Pulls down and runs auto.sh a la http://cloudbuilders.github.com/deploy.sh/hacking-nova.html
• shutdown instances older than 24 hours via cron
• make /latest always point to the most recent deploy at least 5 minutes

Later

• ajaxterm integration (single click to access console via ssh)
• /foo should redirect to a test instance named foo
• log integration
• option to deploy specific revisions of components
• kill a single stack
• display a checkbox next to stacks that "work"

Installation

#You need cherrypy 3.  This may be python-cherrypy on some debian based distros or python-cherrypy3 on others
apt-get install -y python-cherrypy3
apt-get install -y python-paramiko
git clone https://github.com/jacobian/openstack.compute.git
cd openstack.compute
python setup.py install

Configuration

There is an example configuration file in radioedit.cfg.

We use apache2 for deployment with the following mod_wsgi configuration:
