• VM startup is very slow
• VM performance is not good
VM Problems
But a VM is very cheap:)

Let’s use container

OpenStack on Docker Problems
• Well known
• Not support OpenvSwitch
• Not support Cinder Volume
• Devstack failed to
• Reserve keystone port
• install nova-docker
• Restart docker
• Nova-docker didn’t support Neutron ML2
Linuxbridge driver
• Neutron failed to ip6tables

14. 14Copyright©2014 NTT corp. All Rights Reserved.
• OpenvSwitch
• Select ML2 Linuxbridge as Neutron plugin
• Cinder Volume
• Don’t use volume
• Reserve Keystone port ⇒ Bugfix #125740
• Install nova-docker ⇒ Bugfix #128746
• Restart docker
• Replace command (Workaround)
• start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile "/var/run/docker.pid”
• ML2 Linuxbridge driver ⇒ Bugfix #130520
• Don’t use ip6tables
• Disable ipv6 in container(Workaround)
• echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/default/disable_ipv6

• Jenkins runs shell script
Jenkins Run
#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -e
mkdir -p $BUILD_NUMBER/logs
docker run -v
$WORKSPACE/$BUILD_NUMBER/logs:/opt/stack/logs --
privileged $DOCKER_IMAGE $GERRIT_REFSPEC
• Docker can bind mount a
volume from the host
• Storing log became very
easy
