OpenStack Trove Essentials

Chapter 2. Setting up Trove with DevStack in a Box

There are several distributions of OpenStack that are available out there and almost all of them can be used along with Trove. Since the focus of this book is Trove and not so much deploying OpenStack itself, we will set up Trove along with DevStack, which is a script that helps in quickly setting up a development environment of OpenStack.

In this chapter, we will look at setting up our Stack in a single node deployment and follow up with setting up the Trove system. In brief, this chapter will deal with:

  • Prerequisites for following along with this book
  • Understanding DevStack and its components
  • Setting up the Trove system with DevStack
  • Working with screen and performing some functions in DevStack

At the end of the book, we will have a working Trove install in less than a couple of hours. It is not recommended to use this method (using DevStack) to roll out a production environment.

Requirements

In order to use DevStack, the requirements are fairly minimal and the setup is fairly easy. We can set up a range of deployments right from a single node deployment to a multiple node deployment in a few moments. The following list shows what we need.

Operating system

DevStack runs on Ubuntu, RHEL, and Fedora and can work on most other popular Linux distributions. The latest releases of these operating systems are supported. In this book, we will be using Ubuntu 14.04 as our base operating system for the DevStack install.

Database

From a database perspective, DevStack runs with MySQL (or Maria DB) and PostgreSQL. We will be using Maria DB (the open source fork of MySQL) in this book.

Messaging queue

DevStack supports both RabbitMQ and QPID. In this book, we will be using RabbitMQ.

Web server

Apache is supported by DevStack and we will be using this in our installation.

Internet connection

Internet connection is a must as the script will pull the actual repositories from GitHub in order...

Preparing the server

We will be creating a single node install of DevStack and be using Nova networking, rather than Neutron networking for the sake of simplicity.

It is possible to run DevStack in multiple environments, right from running it on a virtual machine (VM) in your laptop/desktop, physical hardware, or even in public cloud environments like Azure and Rackspace.

In this book, we will create our VM running on an ESXi server in our lab environment. The only limitation in following this approach is that we will be able to use only QEMU as opposed to KVM (we can edit to pass the 64 bit flags up, but that will not give us true 64 bit in the nested hypervisor environment).

Minimum configuration required

In order to run DevStack, the following are the bare minimum requirements:

  • RAM: 4 GB
  • CPU: 2 cores
  • Disk: 20 GB
  • Internet connection: Yes
  • Operating system: DevStack-supported operating system

We will be using this environment later to show replication, backup, and so on. For running some serious...

Installing prerequisites

Before we can run the DevStack script, we will have to perform a couple of prerequisite actions:

  • Add a user and give it sudoers access
  • Install packages

Adding a user

We will create a user called stack and give that user sudoers permission. We will need root access to do so.

sudo su
adduser stack

This will create the user and also creates the home directory for the user. We will now give this user all sudoers permissions as this user will be the one to install all the different components. When a list of questions appears, just select all the defaults.

echo "stack ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL" | sudo tee -a /etc/sudoers

Executing this command will add the user stack to the sudoers file allowing the stack user with all the permissions. We could even put the stack user in the admin group, but then it will need a password, hence this method is followed.

Installing packages

There are a few packages we will need to install before we can proceed any further:

  • git: This package...

DevStack

DevStack, as we have already discussed, is a script that installs the other OpenStack components in a development environment. There are several modes in which DevStack can be installed, but the only thoroughly tested mode is the All-In-One Single box installation.

The DevStack script itself is located on the GitHub and needs to be pulled from there. This ensures that we always have the latest script.

Downloading the DevStack script

DevStack can be downloaded by the git clone command. We will clone that in our home directory.

cd ~
git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack-dev/devstack

This will clone the DevStack project onto the local devstack folder. Since we are using a proxy server, this may not work right off the bat. If you don't have a proxy server, then you can skip this section.

Using a proxy with GitHub

In order to make git work with a proxy, we will use corkscrew. We will need the following information:

Name

Value

Proxy IP

172.21.2.17

Proxy port

80

Proxy username...

Working with screen

Since we are using DevStack in this book, screen becomes a core concept of running DevStack. In this section, we will take a look at some screen commands and how we will be using them in order to interact with DevStack.

Screen is software that essentially is a window manager in Linux. It helps the user to use multiple shell windows from a single SSH session. This is recommended to be used when we have a long running command that needs to survive network disruptions.

Screen is normally used to run long running processes. DevStack creates and runs its entire services in its own screen and if you were to use the ~/devstack/restack.sh script, it would connect you to the already running screen session.

We installed screen as a prerequisite earlier in the chapter; let us now look at some of the commands that will help us.

Screen control key

Pressing Ctrl + A activates the control mode and any key you press after that is passed as a control key and not as a key press sent to the...

Key benefits

  • Familiarize yourself with the concept of Database as a Service and make your existing system scalable and efficient with OpenStack Trove
  • Minimize the administrative tasks and complexities of managing your cloud infrastructure
  • This is a fast-paced guide to datastore management on the OpenStack platform using OpenStack Trove

Description

OpenStack has become an extremely popular solution to build public and private clouds with. Database as a Service (DBaaS) enables the delivery of more agile database services at lower costs. Some other benefits of DBaaS are secure database deployments and compliance to standards and best practices. Trove is a DBaaS built on OpenStack and is becoming more popular by the day. Since Trove is one of the most recent projects of OpenStack, DBAs and system administrators can find it difficult to set up and run a DBaaS using OpenStack Trove. This book helps DBAs make that step. We start by introducing you to the concepts of DBaaS and how is it implemented using OpenStack Trove. Following this, we look at implementing OpenStack and deploying Trove. Moving on, you will learn to create guest images to be used with Trove. We then look at how to provision databases in self-service mode, and how to perform administration tasks such as backup and recovery, and fine-tuning databases. At the end of the book, we will examine some advanced features of Trove such as replication.

Who is this book for?

If you are a DBA / system administrator / architect, or a student who wants to build a Database as a Service based on OpenStack, this book is for you. You should have a basic knowledge of OpenStack components, RDBMS/NoSQL, IaaS, and cloud computing.

What you will learn

  • * Get to grips with the basics of OpenStack and the prerequisites to install Trove
  • * Understand the expectations of DBaaS and how Trove can help you achieve them
  • * Set up a basic installation of DevStack (Development Stack) in a virtual box
  • * Install Trove and utilize its configuration groups to manage and tune databases
  • * Use Image builder to create guest images for Trove
  • * Utilize Trove to provision your first database instance
  • * Back up and restore your databases with the help of Trove

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
