The document discusses using infrastructure as code (IaC) to deploy test environments for the Uyuni project. It introduces Sumaform, which provides Terraform modules specific to Uyuni to deploy virtual machines, apply configuration via Salt states, and provision Uyuni servers and clients. The modules support deploying to different backends like libvirt and AWS. The demo then shows using the modules to deploy a Uyuni server and OpenSUSE minion in under 3 sentences.

Sumaform
– Architecture
– Modules
– Demo

42. What is?
“Sumaform provides UYUNI-specific Terraform
modules that leverage OS base images and Salt
states to deliver a complete solution: from VM
creation to installation of the product to
configuration.”
* Silvio Moioli, SUSE Manager Development Team

43. Architecture
+ +

44. ●
Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
– Deploy virtual machines
– Manage resources life-cycle
●
Domain specific modules
●
Provisioning
– Copy salt resources and apply state
Terraform

45. Terraform Modules
●
Notion of backend
independent modules
– server
– proxy
– minon
– ...
●
Two modules for each
supported provider
– Base
– Host
Provider Independent Modules Provider Specific Modules

46. Supported providers (backends)
* run provisioning on
existing machines
(null provider)
Soon!

47. OS image + cloud init
●
Public JeOS images
●
Cloud init: bring machine
to “known base”
– Install "salt-minion"
package
– Allow ssh login

48. Salt (CaC)
●
Salt states for each machine
role
●
Parameters for customization
– auto-register (on server)
– additional repositories

49. Code example
provider "libvirt" {
uri = "qemu:///system"
}
module "base" {
source = "./modules/base"
cc_username = "..."
cc_password = "..."
name_prefix = "uyuni-"
domain = "tf.local"
images = ["opensuse152"]
use_avahi = true
}
module "server" {
source =
"./modules/server"
base_configuration =
module.base.configuration
product_version = "uyuni-
released"
name =
"server"
}
module "min-opensuse" {
source =
"./modules/minion"
base_configuration =
module.base.configuration
product_version = "uyuni-
released"
name =
"opensuse"
image =
"opensuse152"

50. Code example
provider "libvirt" {
uri = "qemu:///system"
}
module "base" {
source = "./modules/base"
cc_username = "..."
cc_password = "..."
name_prefix = "uyuni-"
domain = "tf.local"
images = ["opensuse152"]
use_avahi = true
}
module "server" {
source =
"./modules/server"
base_configuration =
module.base.configuration
product_version = "uyuni-
released"
name =
"server"
}
module "min-opensuse" {
source =
"./modules/minion"
base_configuration =
module.base.configuration
product_version = "uyuni-
released"
name =
"opensuse"
image =
"opensuse152"
