TripleO's TLS implementation using nova in the undercloud relies on instance metadata that contains the services a particular instance is going to host. For example, metadata for a controller (e.g., controller-0) will contain JSON that describes the services and interfaces that are supposed to be hosted on controller (e.g., haproxy/controller-0.ctlplane.example.test). For TLS, we need to generate certificates for those services automatically. This requires us to parse the metadata for the instance, determine the services that are supposed to the hosted by that instance, and then curate unique principals that we add to FreeIPA. Once the appropriate hosts (e.g., controller-0.example.test), sub-hosts (e.g., controller-0.ctlplane.example.test), and principals (e.g., haproxy/controller-0.ctlplane.example.test) have been added to FreeIPA, we can generate certificates for that service and configure it to use TLS. The commit attempts to introduce a filter that parses metadata from the instance and returns a list of tuples to the caller. Each tuple is unique to each service being hosted on an instance and we use them to generate the requisite entities in FreeIPA for TLS certificates using ansible-freeipa later. The functionality was formally a part of novajoin, which is a nova metadata service. This patch adds unit tests and relevant env configuration. Change-Id: Ibbac29a9d2570280cad0f426ad0b0367587bfee7
Role Name
A brief description of the role goes here.
Requirements
Any pre-requisites that may not be covered by Ansible itself or the role should be mentioned here. For instance, if the role uses the EC2 module, it may be a good idea to mention in this section that the boto package is required.
Role Variables
A description of the settable variables for this role should go here, including any variables that are in defaults/main.yml, vars/main.yml, and any variables that can/should be set via parameters to the role. Any variables that are read from other roles and/or the global scope (ie. hostvars, group vars, etc.) should be mentioned here as well.
Dependencies
A list of other roles hosted on Galaxy should go here, plus any details in regards to parameters that may need to be set for other roles, or variables that are used from other roles.
Example Playbook
Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:
- hosts: servers
roles:
- { role: username.rolename, x: 42 }
