Fuel Plugin for 6WIND Virtual Accelerator installation

The Fuel plugin for 6WIND Virtual Accelerator allows to install and integrate the Virtual Accelerator on desired nodes (compute) running Mirantis Openstack 8.0.

This plugin uses the Fuel pluggable architecture and it must be compatible with the version 8.0 of Mirantis OpenStack.

Problem description

Proposed change

Implement a Fuel plugin which will perform all the necessary steps to install and configure Mirantis OpenStack nodes to use the 6WIND Virtual Accelerator.

Alternatives

SR-IOV

Data model impact

None

REST API impact

None

Upgrade impact

When upgrading to newer versions of Mirantis Openstack, this plugin should be upgraded accordingly.

Security impact

None. Nova security groups are still supported for deployed VMs on all compute nodes running 6WIND VA.

Notifications impact

None

Other end user impact

After plugin installation, the end user can enable it on the Setting tab of the Fuel web UI and customize plugin settings.

Performance Impact

Other deployer impact

Developer impact

Work Items

  • Create test environment (physical servers or KVM based vms)
  • Create Fuel plugin bundle (containing deployments scripts, puppet modules and metadata)
  • Implement puppet modules with the following functions:
  • Retrieve 6WIND Virtual Accelerator software from repository
  • Eventually updates libvirt and qemu Mirantis Openstack packages on compute nodes
  • 6WIND Virtual Accelerator deployment on selected OpenStack nodes
  • Configure Mirantis Openstack to support 6WIND Virtual Accelerator
  • Test 6WIND Virtual Accelerator plugin
  • Create Documentation

Dependencies

  • Fuel 8.0
  • Hypervisor with KVM capability
  • Qemu with vhost-user and hugepage support

Testing

  • Sanity checks including plugin build
  • Syntax check
  • Functional testing
  • Non-functional testing (Destructive and Negative)

Documentation Impact

  • Deployment Guide (how to prepare environment for plugin installation and configuration before MOS deployment)
  • User Guide (list of features the plugin provides, how to customize them in the deployed MOS environment)
  • Test Plan
  • Test Report
