Openshift Driver

Selecting the openshift driver adds the following options to the providers section of the configuration.

providers.[openshift]
providers.[openshift].context
providers.[openshift].launch-retries
providers.[openshift].max-projects
providers.[openshift].pools
providers.[openshift].labels

providers.[openshift] Type: list

An Openshift provider’s resources are partitioned into groups called pool (see providers.[openshift].pools for details), and within a pool, the node types which are to be made available are listed (see providers.[openshift].labels for details).

Note

For documentation purposes the option names are prefixed providers.[openshift] to disambiguate from other drivers, but [openshift] is not required in the configuration (e.g. below providers.[openshift].pools refers to the pools key in the providers section when the openshift driver is selected).

Example:

providers:
  - name: cluster
    driver: openshift
    context: context-name
    pools:
      - name: main
        labels:
          - name: openshift-project
            type: project
          - name: openshift-pod
            type: pod
            image: docker.io/fedora:28

providers.[openshift].context (required)

Name of the context configured in kube/config.

Before using the driver, Nodepool services need a kube/config file manually installed with self-provisioner (the service account needs to be able to create projects) context. Make sure the context is present in oc config get-contexts command output.

providers.[openshift].launch-retries Default: 3: The number of times to retry launching a node before considering the job failed.

providers.[openshift].max-projects Default: infinite Type: int: Maximum number of projects that can be used.

providers.[openshift].pools Type: list

A pool defines a group of resources from an Openshift provider.

providers.[openshift].pools.name (required): Project’s name are prefixed with the pool’s name.

providers.[openshift].pools.node-attributes Type: dict: A dictionary of key-value pairs that will be stored with the node data in ZooKeeper. The keys and values can be any arbitrary string.

providers.[openshift].labels Type: list

Each entry in a pool`s labels section indicates that the corresponding label is available for use in this pool.

Each entry is a dictionary with the following keys

providers.[openshift].labels.name (required): Identifier for this label; references an entry in the labels section.

providers.[openshift].labels.type

The Openshift provider supports two types of labels:

project: Project labels provide an empty project configured with a service account that can create pods, services, configmaps, etc.

pod: Pod labels provide a new dedicated project with a single pod created using the providers.[openshift].labels.image parameter and it is configured with a service account that can exec and get the logs of the pod.

providers.[openshift].labels.image: Only used by the pod label type; specifies the image name used by the pod.

providers.[openshift].labels.image-pull Default: IfNotPresent Type: str: The ImagePullPolicy, can be IfNotPresent, Always or Never.

providers.[openshift].labels.image-pull-secrets Default: [] Type: list

The imagePullSecrets needed to pull container images from a private registry.

Example:

labels:
  - name: openshift-pod
    image: docker.io/fedora:28
    image-pull-secrets:
      - name: registry-secret

providers.[openshift].labels.python-path Default: auto Type: str: The path of the default python interpreter. Used by Zuul to set ansible_python_interpreter. The special value auto will direct Zuul to use inbuilt Ansible logic to select the interpreter on Ansible >=2.8, and default to /usr/bin/python2 for earlier versions.

providers.[openshift].labels.shell-type Default: sh Type: str

The shell type of the node’s default shell executable. Used by Zuul to set ansible_shell_type. This setting should only be used

For a windows image with the experimental connection-type ssh, in which case cmd or powershell should be set and reflect the node’s DefaultShell configuration.
If the default shell is not Bourne compatible (sh), but instead e.g. csh or fish, and the user is aware that there is a long-standing issue with ansible_shell_type in combination with become

providers.[openshift].labels.cpu Type: int: Only used by the pod label type; specifies the number of cpu to request for the pod.

providers.[openshift].labels.memory Type: int: Only used by the pod label type; specifies the amount of memory in MB to request for the pod.

providers.[openshift].labels.env Default: [] Type: list

Only used by the pod label type; A list of environment variables to pass to the Pod.

providers.[openshift].labels.env.name (required) Type: str: The name of the environment variable passed to the Pod.

providers.[openshift].labels.env.value (required) Type: str: The value of the environment variable passed to the Pod.

providers.[openshift].labels.node-selector Type: dict: Only used by the pod label type; A map of key-value pairs to ensure the OpenShift scheduler places the Pod on a node with specific node labels.
