Salt Cloud 0.8.9 Release Notes
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
Welcome to 0.8.9! It has been a long time since the last release, and we're
|
|
excited to get this one out the door!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Documentation
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
The documentation for Salt Cloud can be found on Read the Docs:
|
|
http://salt-cloud.readthedocs.org
|
|
|
|
|
|
Download
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
Salt Cloud can be downloaded and install via pypi:
|
|
|
|
https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/s/salt-cloud/salt-cloud-0.8.9.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
Some packages have been made available for salt-cloud and more on on their
|
|
way. Packages for Arch and FreeBSD are being made available thanks to the
|
|
work of Christer Edwards, and packages for RHEL and Fedora are being created
|
|
by Clint Savage. The Ubuntu PPA is being managed by Sean Channel. Package
|
|
availability will be announced on the salt mailing list.
|
|
|
|
|
|
New Cloudstack Driver
|
|
=====================
|
|
One of the more impressive stories this release involves the Cloud Stack driver,
|
|
written by Sebastien Goasguen. After meeting Thomas Hatch at the LinuxTag
|
|
conference, Sebastien went out and wrote a Cloud Stack driver for Salt Cloud, in
|
|
less time than it took to compile these release notes. His story is here:
|
|
|
|
http://sebgoa.blogspot.com/2013/05/the-linuxtag-hack.html
|
|
|
|
Several people have been asking for this driver, and we are very grateful to
|
|
Sebastien for adding it for us!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Updated Joyent Support
|
|
======================
|
|
Joyent has updated their API, and Salt Cloud has included the updates in this
|
|
version. Bob Szabo did the bulk of this work, and we would like to extend a
|
|
special thanks to him for his efforts. The Joyent driver has also been
|
|
optimized to access the API directly, resulting in faster operations, and
|
|
opening up more of Joyent's native API for future use. Some of the features
|
|
that have already been added as a result of this pertain to SSH key management,
|
|
directly from Salt Cloud. The following functions have been added:
|
|
|
|
* list_keys
|
|
* show_key
|
|
* import_key
|
|
* delete_key
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mapping Independent Hierarchies
|
|
===============================
|
|
Salt Cloud 0.8.5 introduced the ability to spin up an instance and install
|
|
the salt-master package on it. This functionality has been extended, so that
|
|
a map file may now spin up a new master, and its minions, and pre-seed the
|
|
master with the minion keys so that they are immediately accepted by the time
|
|
the new salt-master starts up, and each minion is started up. A map file that
|
|
can accomplish this might look like:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
Ubuntu-12.04-64bit:
|
|
TT_Master:
|
|
minion:
|
|
retry_dns: 5
|
|
make_master: True
|
|
TT2:
|
|
minion:
|
|
retry_dns: 5
|
|
TT3:
|
|
minion:
|
|
retry_dns: 5
|
|
|
|
This functionality was added by Pedro Algarvio, to spin up hierarchies for
|
|
testing purposes, and then remove them when finished. This can be instrumental
|
|
to organizations wishing to extend their testing and build environments. We
|
|
would like to thank him for this, and the many other contributions that he has
|
|
added to this and other releases!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Parallel Creation and Logging
|
|
=============================
|
|
There have been reports of issues in the past pertaining to screen issues when
|
|
running salt-cloud in parallel mode (-P). This mode has been greatly stabilized
|
|
in this release. Additionally, parallel logging capabilities have been added,
|
|
allowing users to store parallel execution logs. Finally, keyboard interrupts
|
|
(such as ^C) are now properly handled.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Internal Data Structure
|
|
=======================
|
|
On 0.8.7 we unleashed the power of multiple cloud provider profiles, it even
|
|
allows multiple profiles for the same cloud provider. That was a much asked
|
|
feature and was adopted by users right away. Unfortunately, all that power had
|
|
a small point of failure when multiple profiles existed for the same cloud
|
|
provider. Only the first was used in most operations.
|
|
To fix this small issue, salt-cloud's internal data structure changed quite a
|
|
bit. Every action, function, virtual machine creation, etc, is now, **always**
|
|
"attached" to a provider alias and the(one of the) cloud drivers defined.
|
|
Internally, when loading the configuration, all the defined profiles are
|
|
matched to the available providers. If the provider does not exits, the profile
|
|
gets removed. The same happens for the defined providers, they all know which
|
|
profiles they can manage. This closes that small point of failure.
|
|
|
|
Data Presentation
|
|
=================
|
|
With the internal data structure change also came a data presentation change.
|
|
Most, unless not applicable, output is now done in an ``<provider-alias>``
|
|
|srarr| ``<provider-driver>`` |srarr| ``<detailed-output>``. An example is
|
|
always better. For an ``ec2-config`` provider alias with an ``ec2`` driver
|
|
configured:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
salt-cloud -f show_image ec2-config image=ami-35eb835c
|
|
|
|
|
|
