Mirantis Container Cloud (MCC) becomes part of Mirantis OpenStack for Kubernetes (MOSK)!

Starting with MOSK 25.2, the MOSK documentation set covers all product layers, including MOSK management (formerly Container Cloud). This means everything you need is in one place. Some legacy names may remain in the code and documentation and will be updated in future releases. The separate Container Cloud documentation site will be retired, so please update your bookmarks for continued easy access to the latest content.

HostOSConfiguration

TechPreview since MCC 2.26.0 (17.1.0 and 16.1.0)

Warning

For security reasons and to ensure safe and reliable cluster operability, test this configuration on a staging environment before applying it to production. For any questions, contact Mirantis support.

Caution

As long as the feature is still on the development stage, Mirantis highly recommends deleting all HostOSConfiguration objects, if any, before automatic upgrade of the management cluster to Container Cloud 2.27.0 (Cluster release 16.2.0). After the upgrade, you can recreate the required objects using the updated parameters.

This precautionary step prevents re-processing and re-applying of existing configuration, which is defined in HostOSConfiguration objects, during management cluster upgrade to 2.27.0. Such behavior is caused by changes in the HostOSConfiguration API introduced in 2.27.0.

This section describes the HostOSConfiguration custom resource (CR) used in the management API. It contains all necessary information to introduce and load modules for further configuration of the host operating system of the related Machine object.

Note

This object must be created and managed on the management cluster.

For demonstration purposes, we split the HostOSConfiguration CR into the following sections:

HostOSConfiguration metadata

The HostOSConfiguration custom resource (CR) metadata contains the following fields:

  • apiVersion

    API version of the object that is ipam.mirantis.com/v1alpha1.

  • kind

    Object type that is HostOSConfiguration.

  • metadata

    Object metadata that contains the following subfields:

    • name

      Object name.

    • namespace

      Project in which the HostOSConfiguration object is created.

Configuration example:

apiVersion: kaas.mirantis.com/v1alpha1
kind: HostOSConfiguration
metadata:
  name: host-os-configuration-sample
  namespace: default

HostOSConfiguration configuration

The spec object field contains configuration for a HostOSConfiguration object and has the following fields:

  • machineSelector

    Required for production deployments. A set of Machine objects to apply the HostOSConfiguration object to. Has the format of the Kubernetes label selector.

  • configs

    Required. List of configurations to apply to Machine objects defined in machineSelector. Each entry has the following fields:

    • module

      Required. Name of the module that refers to an existing module in one of the HostOSConfigurationModules objects.

    • moduleVersion

      Required. Version of the module in use in the SemVer format.

    • description

      Optional. Description and purpose of the configuration.

    • order

      Optional. Positive integer between 1 and 1024 that indicates the order of applying the module configuration. A configuration with the lowest order value is applied first. If the order field is not set:

      • Since MCC 2.27.0 (Cluster releases 17.2.0 and 16.2.0), the configuration is applied in the order of appearance in the list after all configurations with the value are applied.

      • In MCC 2.26.0 (Cluster releases 17.1.0 and 16.1.0), the following rules apply to the ordering when comparing each pair of entries:

        1. Ordering by alphabet based on the module values unless they are equal.

        2. Ordering by version based on the moduleVersion values, with preference given to the lesser value.

    • values

      Optional if secretValues is set. Module configuration in the format of key-value pairs.

    • secretValues

      Optional if values is set. Reference to a Secret object that contains the configuration values for the module:

      • namespace

        Project name of the Secret object.

      • name

        Name of the Secret object.

      Note

      You can use both values and secretValues together. But if the values are duplicated, the secretValues data rewrites duplicated keys of the values data.

      Warning

      The referenced Secret object must contain only primitive non-nested values. Otherwise, the values will not be applied correctly.

    • phase

      Optional. LCM phase, in which a module configuration must be executed. The only supported and default value is reconfigure. Hence, you may omit this field.

  • order

    Removed in Container Cloud 2.27.0 (Cluster releases 17.2.0 and 16.2.0). Optional. Positive integer between 1 and 1024 that indicates the order of applying HostOSConfiguration objects on newly added or newly assigned machines. An object with the lowest order value is applied first. If the value is not set, the object is applied last in the order.

    If no order field is set for all HostOSConfiguration objects, the objects are sorted by name.

    Note

    If a user changes the HostOSConfiguration object that was already applied on some machines, then only the changed items from the spec.configs section of the HostOSConfiguration object are applied to those machines, and the execution order applies only to the changed items.

    The configuration changes are applied on corresponding LCMMachine objects almost immediately after host-os-modules-controller verifies the changes.

Configuration example:

spec:
   machineSelector:
      matchLabels:
        label-name: "label-value"
   configs:
   - description: Brief description of the configuration
     module: mosk-provided-module-name
     moduleVersion: 1.0.0
     order: 1
     # the 'phase' field is provided for illustration purposes. it is redundant
     # because the only supported value is "reconfigure".
     phase: "reconfigure"
     values:
       foo: 1
       bar: "baz"
     secretValues:
       name: values-from-secret
       namespace: default

HostOSConfiguration status

The status field of the HostOSConfiguration object contains the current state of the object:

  • isValid

    Available since Container Cloud 2.27.0 (Cluster releases 17.2.0 and 16.2.0). Indicates whether all given configurations have been validated successfully and are ready to be applied on machines. An invalid object is discarded from processing.
