Test Fedora 24 Beta in an OpenStack cloud
|
|||
|
|
===========================================
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Although there are a few weeks remaining before [Fedora 24][1] is released, you can test out the Fedora 24 Beta release today! This is a great way to get [a sneak peek at new features][2] and help find bugs that still need a fix.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The [Fedora Cloud][3] image is available for download from your favorite [local mirror][4] or directly from [Fedora’s servers][5]. In this post, I’ll show you how to import this image into an OpenStack environment and begin testing Fedora 24 Beta.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
One last thing: this is beta software. It has been reliable for me so far, but your experience may vary. I would recommend waiting for the final release before deploying any mission critical applications on it.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Importing the image
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The older glance client (version 1) allows you to import an image from a URL that is reachable from your OpenStack environment. This is helpful since my OpenStack cloud has a much faster connection to the internet (1 Gbps) than my home does (~ 20 mbps upload speed). However, the functionality to import from a URL was [removed in version 2 of the glance client][6]. The [OpenStackClient][7] doesn’t offer the feature either.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
There are two options here:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- Install an older version of the glance client
|
|||
|
|
- Use Horizon (the web dashboard)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Getting an older version of glance client installed is challenging. The OpenStack requirements file for the liberty release [leaves the version of glance client without a maximum version cap][8] and it’s difficult to get all of the dependencies in order to make the older glance client work.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Let’s use Horizon instead so we can get back to the reason for the post.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Adding an image in Horizon
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Log into the Horizon panel and click Compute > Images. Click + Create Image at the top right of the page and a new window should appear. Add this information in the window:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- **Name**: Fedora 24 Cloud Beta
|
|||
|
|
- **Image Source**: Image Location
|
|||
|
|
- **Image Location**: http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/releases/test/24_Beta/CloudImages/x86_64/images/Fedora-Cloud-Base-24_Beta-1.6.x86_64.qcow2
|
|||
|
|
- **Format**: QCOW2 – QEMU Emulator
|
|||
|
|
- **Copy Data**: ensure the box is checked
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
When you’re finished, the window should look like this:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Click Create Image and the images listing should show Saving for a short period of time. Once it switches to Active, you’re ready to build an instance.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Building the instance
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Since we’re already in Horizon, we can finish out the build process there.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
On the image listing page, find the row with the image we just uploaded and click Launch Instance on the right side. A new window will appear. The Image Name drop down should already have the Fedora 24 Beta image selected. From here, just choose an instance name, select a security group and keypair (on the Access & Security tab), and a network (on the Networking tab). Be sure to choose a flavor that has some available storage as well (m1.tiny is not enough).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Click Launch and wait for the instance to boot.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Once the instance build has finished, you can connect to the instance over ssh as the fedora user. If your [security group allows the connection][9] and your keypair was configured correctly, you should be inside your new Fedora 24 Beta instance!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Not sure what to do next? Here are some suggestions:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- Update all packages and reboot (to ensure that you are testing the latest updates)
|
|||
|
|
- Install some familiar applications and verify that they work properly
|
|||
|
|
- Test out your existing automation or configuration management tools
|
|||
|
|
- Open bug tickets!
