Sumaform
– Architecture
– Modules
– Demo

42. What is?
“Sumaform provides UYUNI-specific Terraform
modules that leverage OS base images and Salt
states to deliver a complete solution: from VM
creation to installation of the product to
configuration.”
* Silvio Moioli, SUSE Manager Development Team

43. Architecture
+ +

44. ●
Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
– Deploy virtual machines
– Manage resources life-cycle
●
Domain specific modules
●
Provisioning
– Copy salt resources and apply state
Terraform

45. Terraform Modules
●
Notion of backend
independent modules
– server
– proxy
– minon
– ...
●
Two modules for each
supported provider
– Base
– Host
Provider Independent Modules Provider Specific Modules

46. Supported providers (backends)
* run provisioning on
existing machines
(null provider)
Soon!

47. OS image + cloud init
●
Public JeOS images
●
Cloud init: bring machine
to “known base”
– Install "salt-minion"
package
– Allow ssh login

48. Salt (CaC)
●
Salt states for each machine
role
●
Parameters for customization
– auto-register (on server)
– additional repositories

49. Code example
provider "libvirt" {
uri = "qemu:///system"
}
module "base" {
source = "./modules/base"
cc_username = "..."
cc_password = "..."
name_prefix = "uyuni-"
domain = "tf.local"
images = ["opensuse152"]
use_avahi = true
}
module "server" {
source = "./modules/server"
base_configuration = module.base.configuration
product_version = "uyuni-released"
name = "server"
}
module "min-opensuse" {
source = "./modules/minion"
base_configuration = module.base.configuration
product_version = "uyuni-released"
name = "opensuse"
image = "opensuse152"
server_configuration = module.server.configuration
}

50. Code example
provider "libvirt" {
uri = "qemu:///system"
}
module "base" {
source = "./modules/base"
cc_username = "..."
cc_password = "..."
name_prefix = "uyuni-"
domain = "tf.local"
images = ["opensuse152"]
use_avahi = true
}
module "server" {
source = "./modules/server"
base_configuration = module.base.configuration
product_version = "uyuni-released"
name = "server"
}
module "min-opensuse" {
source = "./modules/minion"
base_configuration = module.base.configuration
product_version = "uyuni-released"
name = "opensuse"
image = "opensuse152"
server_configuration = module.server.configuration
}
