Abstract

This document describes the stoney cloud (OpenStack) relevant OpenLDAP directory data organisation.

Introduction

This document describes the OpenLDAP directory data organisation for the stoney cloud service.

Data Organisation

The following chapters explain the data organisation of the OpenStack based stoney cloud OpenLDAP directory, in this case we looking at the stoney cloud service.

OpenStack (service)

The sub tree ou=openstack,ou=service,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org contains all the OpenStack based stoney cloud service data. 

dn: ou=openstack,ou=services,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org
objectclass: top
objectclass: organizationalUnit
ou: openstack

OpenStack (service) - Configuration

dn: ou=configuration,ou=openstack,ou=services,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org 
objectclass: top
objectclass: organizationalUnit
ou: configuration
description: The sub tree for the configuration of the OpenStack based stoney cloud service.

OpenStack (service) - Configuration - Resellers

dn: ou=reseller,ou=configuration,ou=openstack,ou=services,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org
objectclass: top
objectclass: organizationalUnit
ou: reseller
description: The sub tree for the reseller specific configuration of the OpenStack based stoney cloud service.

OpenStack (service) - Domains (resellers)

dn: ou=domains,ou=openstack,ou=services,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org 
objectclass: top
objectclass: organizationalUnit
ou: domains
description: The sub tree for the domains (resellers) of the OpenStack based stoney cloud service.

OpenStack (service) - Domains (resellers) - Domain (OpenStack Default Domain) example

This is a very special domain and is created during the bootstrapping phase of the OpenStack installation. Therefore we never provision this domain and we do not add the objectclass: sstProvisioning to this domain. 

dn: uid=3999998,ou=domains,ou=openstack,ou=services,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org
objectclass: top
objectclass: sstOpenStackDomain
objectclass: sstRelationship
uid: 3999999
sstOpenStackId: default
sstOpenStackName: Default
description: The default domain
sstIsActive: TRUE
sstIsIaaSDomain: FALSE
sstBillable: FALSE
sstConsolidatedBill: FALSE
sstRegion: duedingen_test
sstBelongsToResellerUID: 4000000
sstBelongsToCustomerUID: 4000001

OpenStack (service) - Domains (resellers) - Domain (OpenStack Service Provider Domain) example

This is also quite a special domain, as it collects the cloud administrators of the OpenStack based stoney cloud. It is added manually just after the bootstrapping phase. Therefore we never provision this domain and we do not add the objectclass: sstProvisioning to this domain. 

dn: uid=3999999,ou=domains,ou=openstack,ou=services,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org
objectclass: top
objectclass: sstOpenStackDomain
objectclass: sstRelationship

sstOpenStackId: abcdef2477be64c099500224864999998
sstOpenStackName: Service Provider
description: Service Provider stepping stone AG
sstIsActive: TRUE
sstIsIaaSDomain: FALSE
sstBillable: FALSE
sstConsolidatedBill: FALSE
sstRegion: duedingen_test
sstBelongsToResellerUID: 4000000
sstBelongsToCustomerUID: 4000001

OpenStack (service) - Domains (resellers) - Domain (reseller) example

The following LDIF example shows a typical OpenStack Domain. 

dn: uid=4000000,ou=domains,ou=openstack,ou=services,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org
objectclass: top
objectclass: sstOpenStackDomain
objectclass: sstProvisioning
objectclass: sstRelationship
uid: 4000000
sstOpenStackId: b01822477be64c09950022486300c59c
sstOpenStackName: Reseller Ltd.
description: 4000000 - Reseller Ltd.
sstIsActive: TRUE
sstIsIaaSDomain: FALSE
sstBillable: TRUE
sstNonBillableItem: network_id:f7f865e8-a745-455c-80cf-b0a4ea09323c
sstCancellationDate: 20201231
sstConsolidatedBill: FALSE
sstRegion: duedingen_test
sstProvisioningMode: added
sstProvisioningExecutionDate: 0
sstProvisioningState: 20180819T083208Z
sstBelongsToResellerUID: 4000000
sstBelongsToCustomerUID: 4000001

The following table describes the different attributes:

Attribute Objectclass
Existence
Mandatory
 Description
uid sstOpenStackDomain
MUST
x
 A unique integer value with 7 digits or more. In the case of OpenStack Domains (resellers), the value of uid corresponds with the value of sstBelongsToResellerUID.

For example: uid: 4000000 corresponds with sstBelongsToResellerUID: 4000000.

sstOpenStackId sstOpenStackDomain
MAY
x3
 The OpenStack Domain id as returned from the OpenStack API.

For example: "id" : "b01822477be64c09950022486300c59c". This gives us the LDAP entry: sstOpenStackId: b01822477be64c09950022486300c59c.

sstOpenStackName sstOpenStackDomain
MAY
x
 The OpenStack Domain name as returned from the OpenStack API.

For example: "name" : "Reseller Ltd.". This gives us the LDAP entry: sstOpenStackName: Reseller Ltd..

description sstOpenStackDomain
MAY
x
 The description is built up as follows: <sstBelongsToResellerUID> - <sstOpenStackName>.

For example: description: 4000000 - Reseller Ltd..

sstIsActive sstOpenStackDomain
MUST
x
 Is the entry active? Either TRUE (yes) or FALSE (no).

The default value is TRUE.

sstIsIaaSDomain sstOpenStackDomain
MAY
x
 Is the OpenStack based Domain (reseller) a Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Domain? Either yes (TRUE) or no (FALSE).

The default value is FALSE.

sstBillable sstOpenStackDomain
MAY
x
 It the entry billable? Either TRUE (yes) or FALSE (no). All hierarchical levels must have sstBillable: TRUE to actually have an invoice generated and sent. If the attribute sstBillable doesn't exist, the default is TRUE. This way, we are forced to set a reseller, customer or product manually to sstBillable: FALSE if we want to avoid sending them an invoice.
sstNonBillableItem sstRelationship
MAY
This multi-valued attribute lists the items, that aren't billable, even if sstBillable is set to TRUE. The following example presumes, that the reseller with sstBelongsToResellerUID: 4000000 has their own floating ip range with the OpenStack with the network_id f7f865e8-a745-455c-80cf-b0a4ea09323c.

Example: sstNonBillableItem: network_id:f7f865e8-a745-455c-80cf-b0a4ea09323c

sstCancellationDate sstOpenStackDomain
MAY
The cancellation date of a reseller, customer or service in the form of [YYYY][MM][DD] (ISO 8601). For example: 20201231.

The attribute sstCancellationDate is used in a logical AND combination with sstIsActive. With other words: Once the cancellation date has passed, it overrides the sstIsActive value.

sstConsolidatedBill sstOpenStackDomain
MAY
x
 Do we want to have a consolidated bill for the OpenStack Domain? Either yes (TRUE) or no (FALSE).

The default value is FALSE.

sstRegion sstOpenStackDomain
MAY
x
 The region tells us, were the infrastructure (domains, projects, networks, servers and more) is to be provisioned. Currently duedingen_production and duedingen_test are

supported. The default region is duedingen_production.

The default value is duedingen_production.

sstProvisioningMode sstProvisioning
MUST
x1
 The provisioning mode, either add, modify or delete. For a new account, this attribute must be set to add. See the stoney core: OpenLDAP provisioning page for details. If the entry was successfully added, modified or deleted, the provisioning mode is changed to added, modified or deleted.
sstProvisioningExecutionDate sstProvisioning
MUST
x
 The date the provisioning shall occur in the form of [YYYY][MM][DD] (ISO 8601). For a new account, this attribute must be set to 0. See the stoney core: OpenLDAP provisioning page for details.
sstProvisioningState sstProvisioning
MUST
x2
 The provisioning state, either 0 or in the form of [YYYY][MM][DD]T[hh][mm][ss]Z (ISO 8601). Z is the zone designator for the zero UTC offset. For a new OpenStack Domain, this attribute must be set to 0. After the successful provisioning, the value is set to the time of the provisioning. For example: sstProvisioningState: 20180819T083208Z. See the stoney core: OpenLDAP provisioning page for details.
sstBelongsToResellerUID sstRelationship
MAY
x
 Stores the reseller UID the leaf belongs to. A unique integer value with 7 digits or more. In the case of OpenStack Domains (resellers), the value of sstBelongsToResellerUID corresponds with the value of uid.

For example: sstBelongsToResellerUID: 4000000 corresponds with uid: 4000000.

sstBelongsToCustomerUID sstRelationship
MAY
x
 Stores the customer UID the leaf belongs to. A unique value with 7 digits or more, must correspond with the uid entry. Each reseller is also a customer in the LDAP directory. Therefore, the value of the attribute sstBelongsToCustomerUID should always be set to the customer UID, that reflects the reseller for the OpenStack Domains.

For example: sstBelongsToCustomerUID: 4000001.

Legend:

  • x: Mandatory in all cases.
  • x1: Set sstProvisioningMode to either added, modified or deleted if modifying the entry manually.
  • x2: Use date --utc "+%Y%m%dT%H%M%SZ" to set the attribute sstProvisioningState if modifying the entry manually.
  • x3: Set by Terraform after the successful provisioning.

 It the entry billable? Either TRUE (yes) or FALSE (no). All hierarchical levels must have sstBillable: TRUE to actually have an invoice generated and sent. If the attribute sstBillable doesn't exist, the default is TRUE. This way, we are forced to set a reseller, customer or product manually to sstBillable: FALSE if we want to avoid sending them an invoice.
sstCancellationDate sstOpenStackUnit
MAY
The cancellation date of a reseller, customer or service in the form of [YYYY][MM][DD] (ISO 8601). For example: 20201231.

sstBelongsToCustomerUID sstRelationship
MAY
x
 Stores the customer UID the leaf belongs to. A unique value with 7 digits or more, must correspond with the uid entry. Each reseller is also a customer in the LDAP directory. Therefore, the value of the attribute sstBelongsToCustomerUID should always be set to the customer UID, that reflects the reseller for the OpenStack Domains.

For example: sstBelongsToCustomerUID: 4000001.

Legend:

  • x: Mandatory in all cases.
  • x1: Must be set after the provisioning, as OpenStack doesn't allow to set ids.
  • x2: Set sstProvisioningMode to either added, modified or deleted if modifying the entry manually.

The following table describes the different attributes:

Attribute Objectclass
Existence
Mandatory
 Description
uid sstOpenStackImageBackup
MUST
x
 A unique integer value with 7 digits or more.

For example: uid: 4100002.

sstDisplayName sstOpenStackImageBackup
MUST
x
 The OpenStack project name as returned from the OpenStack API.

For example: "name" : "sst-int-001: stepping stone AG: CentOS 7 (Odoo)". This gives us the LDAP entry: sstDisplayName: sst-int-001: stepping stone AG: CentOS 7 (Odoo).

description sstOpenStackImageBackup
MAY
x
 The description is built up as follows: The leaf for the OpenStack server <sstDisplayName>..

For example: The leaf for the OpenStack server sst-int-001: stepping stone AG: CentOS 7 (Odoo)..

sstBackupIterations sstOpenStackImageBackup
MUST
x
 The number of image backup iterations. Possible values are between 0 and 9999. Default is 1.

For example: sstBackupIterations: 1.

sstBackupLastSuccessfulBackup sstOpenStackImageBackup
MAY
The date and time of the last successful image backup in UTC, either 0 or in the form of [YYYY][MM][DD]T[hh][mm][ss]Z (ISO 8601).

For example: sstBackupLastSuccessfulBackup: 20130923T063554Z.

sstIsActive sstOpenStackImageBackup
MUST
x
 Is the entry active? Either TRUE (yes) or FALSE (no).

The default value is TRUE.

sstBillable sstOpenStackImageBackup
MAY
x
 It the entry billable? Either TRUE (yes) or FALSE (no). All hierarchical levels must have sstBillable: TRUE to actually have an invoice generated and sent. If the attribute sstBillable doesn't exist, the default is TRUE. This way, we are forced to set a reseller, customer or product manually to sstBillable: FALSE if we want to avoid sending them an invoice.
sstCancellationDate sstOpenStackImageBackup
MAY
The cancellation date of a reseller, customer or service in the form of [YYYY][MM][DD] (ISO 8601).

For example: sstCancellationDate: 20201231.

The attribute sstCancellationDate is used in a logical AND combination with sstIsActive. With other words: Once the cancellation date has passed, it overrides the sstIsActive value.

sstBelongsToProjectID sstOpenStackImageBackup
MUST
x
 The OpenStack project id the project belongs to.

For example: sstBelongsToProjectID: 5a3a4fd5d6e94a87815131be42d8e6d9.

sstBelongsToUnitID sstOpenStackImageBackup
MAY
x1
 The OpenStack unit id as returned from the OpenStack API.

For example: sstBelongsToUnitID: 9ecb5bfdd4564f6ca52bba1e869eeea4.

sstBelongsToResellerUID sstRelationship
MAY
x
 Stores the reseller UID the leaf belongs to. A unique integer value with 7 digits or more.

For example: sstBelongsToResellerUID: 4000000.

sstBelongsToCustomerUID sstRelationship
MAY
x
 Stores the customer UID the leaf belongs to. A unique value with 7 digits or more, must correspond with the uid entry. Each reseller is also a customer in the LDAP directory. Therefore, the value of the attribute sstBelongsToCustomerUID should always be set to the customer UID, that reflects the reseller for the OpenStack Domains.

For example: sstBelongsToCustomerUID: 4000001.

sstBelongsToServiceUID sstRelationship
MAY
x
 Stores the UID (Unique Identifier) of the service the leaf belongs to. This UID can be used to look up other information. For example, if the attribute sstBelongsToUnitID is missing, we can look this value up (and maybe update it at the same time to spare future lookups).

For example: sstBelongsToServiceUID: 4000002.

Legend:

  • x: Mandatory in all cases.
  • x1: Must be set after the provisioning, as OpenStack doesn't allow to set ids.

OpenStack (infrastructure) - Unit (control-, compute- and storage-nodes as well as the control virtual machines) - Examples

Some concrete naming examples of the OpenStack control-, compute- and storage nodes as well as the control virtual machines (VMs):

Control nodes:

  • ctrl-node-001: stepping stone AG: CentOS 7 (Control), with the Puppet role cloud_openstack_control
  • ctrl-node-002: stepping stone AG: CentOS 7 (Control), with the Puppet role cloud_openstack_control

Compute nodes:

  • compute-node-001: stepping stone AG: CentOS 7 (Compute), with the Puppet role cloud_openstack_compute
  • compute-node-002: stepping stone AG: CentOS 7 (Compute), with the Puppet role cloud_openstack_compute

Storage nodes:

  • storage-node-001: stepping stone AG: CentOS 7 (Ceph monitor), with the Puppet role storage_ceph
  • storage-node-002: stepping stone AG: CentOS 7 (Ceph monitor), with the Puppet role storage_ceph
  • storage-node-003: stepping stone AG: CentOS 7 (Ceph storage), with the Puppet role storage_ceph

Control VMs:

  • ctrl-vm-020: stepping stone AG: CentOS 7 (Ceph monitor), with the Puppet role storage_ceph
  • ctrl-vm-021: stepping stone AG: CentOS 7 (Glance), with the Puppet role cloud_openstack_glance

The following LDIF shows a complete example of storage node with the Puppet role storage_ceph.

Questions

  • We need a mechanism to make sure, that the internal OpenStack domain(s) and the corresponding project(s) don't get provisioned!
  • Should we have a configuraton sub tree with sane default values?
  • Should we store the current values in the LDAP (CPU, RAM, ...)?
  • Will we store the network configuraton in the LDAP?
    • If yes, how will we store the additional networks in the LDAP (shared network)?
  • How will we make sure, not to bill the IPv4 netwoks, belonging to a reseller and/or customer?
    • For example Fence IT AG?
  • Will we have both sstBelongsToDomainID and sstBelongsToDomainUID or just one or the other?
