Developing Murano Packages 101
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
Murano provides a very powerful and flexible platform to automate the
|
|
provisioning, deployment, configuration and lifecycle management of
|
|
applications in OpenStack clouds. However, the flexibility comes at cost: to
|
|
manage an application with Murano one has to design and develop special
|
|
scenarios which will tell Murano how to handle different aspects of application
|
|
lifecycle. These scenarios are usually called "Murano Applications" or "Murano
|
|
Packages". It is not hard to build them, but it requires some time to get
|
|
familiar with Murano's DSL to define these scenarios and to learn the common
|
|
patterns and best practices. This article provides a basic introductory course
|
|
of these aspects and aims to be the starting point for the developers willing
|
|
to learn how to develop Murano Application packages with ease.
|
|
|
|
The course consists of the following parts:

.. #. Creating your first Application Package
|
|
.. #. Adding User Interface to your package and other improvements
|
|
.. #. Modifying the application to do something useful
|
|
.. #. Adding scalability scenarios
|
|
.. #. Learning some advanced stuff for production-grade deployments
|
|
|
|
Before you proceed, please ensure that you have an OpenStack cloud
|
|
(devstack-based will work just fine) and the latest version of Murano deployed.

|
This guide assumes that the reader has a basic knowledge of some programming
|
|
languages and object-oriented design and is a bit familiar with the scripting
|
|
languages used to configure Linux servers. Also it would be beneficial to be
|
|
familiar with YAML format: lots of software configuration tools nowadays use
|
|
YAML, and Murano is no different.
