This PS: * adds a trap to clean up OSH which is deployed in the course of integration tests. It appears as though node cleanup in Jenkins is hanging so this is to try to ameliorate that * creates a deckhand.conf.test to be used by functional and integration tests instead of writing it out dynamically [0] * updates logging.conf.sample to dump logs to stdout/stderr by default as this is amenable to containers * makes test_gabbi.py common between functional and integration tests to avoid unnecessary code duplication [0] review comments in https://review.gerrithub.io/#/c/att-comdev/deckhand/+/407638/ Change-Id: I762fb0bde5f75effcde56316d92bd57b30026995
Deckhand
Deckhand is a storage service for YAML-based configuration documents, which are managed through version control and automatically validated. Deckhand provides users with a variety of different document types that describe complex configurations using the features listed below.
Find more documentation for Deckhand on Read the Docs.
Core Responsibilities
- layering - helps reduce duplication in configuration by applying the notion of inheritance to documents
- substitution - provides separation between secret data and other configuration data for security purposes and reduces data duplication by allowing common data to be defined once and substituted elsewhere dynamically
- revision history - maintains well-defined collections of documents within immutable revisions that are meant to operate together, while providing the ability to rollback to previous revisions
- validation - allows services to implement and register different kinds of validations and report errors
- secret management - leverages existing OpenStack APIs -- namely Barbican -- to reliably and securely store sensitive data
Getting Started

Testing
Automated Testing
To run unit tests using sqlite, execute:
$ tox -epy27
$ tox -epy35against a py27- or py35-backed environment, respectively. To run individual unit tests, run:
$ tox -e py27 -- deckhand.tests.unit.db.test_revisionsfor example.
To run functional tests:
$ tox -e functionalYou can also run a subset of tests via a regex:
$ tox -e functional -- gabbi.suitemaker.test_gabbi_document-crud-success-multi-bucketIntegration Points
Deckhand has the following integration points:
- Barbican (OpenStack Key Manager) provides secure storage for sensitive data.
- Keystone (OpenStack Identity service) provides authentication and support for role based authorization.
- PostgreSQL is used to persist information to correlate workflows with users and history of workflow commands.
Note
Currently, other database back-ends are not supported.
Though, being a low-level service, has many other UCP services that integrate with it, including:
