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].max-cores
providers.[openshift].max-servers
providers.[openshift].max-ram
providers.[openshift].max-resources
providers.[openshift].pools

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].pools.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: An alias for max-servers.

providers.[openshift].max-cores Default: unlimited Type: int: Maximum number of cores usable from this provider’s pools by default. This can be used to limit usage of the openshift backend. If not defined nodepool can use all cores up to the limit of the backend.

providers.[openshift].max-servers Default: unlimited Type: int: Maximum number of projects spawnable from this provider’s pools by default. This can be used to limit the number of projects. If not defined nodepool can create as many servers the openshift backend allows.

providers.[openshift].max-ram Default: unlimited Type: int: Maximum ram usable from this provider’s pools by default. This can be used to limit the amount of ram allocated by nodepool. If not defined nodepool can use as much ram as the openshift backend allows.

providers.[openshift].max-resources Default: unlimited Type: dict: A dictionary of other quota resource limits applicable to this provider’s pools by default. Arbitrary limits may be supplied with the providers.[openshift].pools.labels.extra-resources attribute.

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].pools.max-cores Type: int: Maximum number of cores usable from this pool. This can be used to limit usage of the kubernetes backend. If not defined nodepool can use all cores up to the limit of the backend.

providers.[openshift].pools.max-servers Type: int: Maximum number of pods spawnable from this pool. This can be used to limit the number of pods. If not defined nodepool can create as many servers the kubernetes backend allows.

providers.[openshift].pools.max-ram Type: int: Maximum ram usable from this pool. This can be used to limit the amount of ram allocated by nodepool. If not defined nodepool can use as much ram as the kubernetes backend allows.

providers.[openshift].pools.max-resources Default: unlimited Type: dict: A dictionary of other quota resource limits applicable to this pool. Arbitrary limits may be supplied with the providers.[openshift].pools.labels.extra-resources attribute.

providers.[openshift].pools.default-label-cpu Type: int: Only used by the pod label type; specifies specifies a default value for providers.[openshift].pools.labels.cpu for all labels of this pool that do not set their own value.

providers.[openshift].pools.default-label-memory Type: int: Only used by the pod label type; specifies a default value in MiB for providers.[openshift].pools.labels.memory for all labels of this pool that do not set their own value.

providers.[openshift].pools.default-label-memory-limit Type: int: Only used by the pod label type; specifies a default value in MiB for providers.[openshift].pools.labels.memory-limit for all labels of this pool that do not set their own value.

providers.[openshift].pools.default-label-storage-limit Type: int: Only used by the pod label type; specifies a default value in MB for providers.[openshift].pools.labels.storage-limit for all labels of this pool that do not set their own value.

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

providers.[openshift].pools.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].pools.labels.image parameter and it is configured with a service account that can exec and get the logs of the pod.

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

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

providers.[openshift].pools.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].pools.labels.labels Type: dict: A dictionary of additional values to be added to the namespace or pod metadata. The value of this field is added to the metadata.labels field in OpenShift. Note that this field contains arbitrary key/value pairs and is unrelated to the concept of labels in Nodepool.

providers.[openshift].pools.labels.annotations Type: dict: A dictionary of additional values to be added to the pod metadata. The value of this field is added to the metadata.annotations field in OpenShift. This field contains arbitrary key/value pairs that can be accessed by tools and libraries. E.g custom schedulers can make use of this metadata.

providers.[openshift].pools.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].pools.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].pools.labels.cpu Type: int: Only used by the pod label type; specifies the number of cpu to request for the pod. If no limit is specified, this will also be used as the limit.

providers.[openshift].pools.labels.memory Type: int: Only used by the pod label type; specifies the amount of memory in MiB to request for the pod. If no limit is specified, this will also be used as the limit.

providers.[openshift].pools.labels.gpu Type: float: Only used by the pod label type; specifies the amount of gpu allocated to the pod. This will be used to set both requests and limits to the same value, based on how kubernetes assigns gpu resources: https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/manage-gpus/scheduling-gpus/.

providers.[openshift].pools.labels.gpu-resource Type: str: Only used by the pod label type; specifies the custom schedulable resource associated with the installed gpu that is available in the cluster.
