Openshift Driver

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

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.priority
Default: 100
Type: int

The priority of this provider pool (a lesser number is a higher priority). Nodepool launchers will yield requests to other provider pools with a higher priority as long as they are not paused. This means that in general, higher priority pools will reach quota first before lower priority pools begin to be used.

This setting may be specified at the provider level in order to apply to all pools within that provider, or it can be overridden here for a specific pool.

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 MiB 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.
