MASAKARI(1) masakari MASAKARI(1)

masakari - masakari 17.0.0

Masakari is an OpenStack project designed to ensure high availability of instances and compute processes running on hosts.

This documentation is intended to help explain the current scope of the Masakari project and the architectural decisions made to support this scope. The documentation will include the future architectural roadmap and the current development process and policies.

The Masakari API is extensive. We provide a concept guide which gives some of the high level details, as well as a more detailed API reference.

Masakari architecture: An overview of how all the components in masakari work together.

A detailed install guide for masakari.

Masakari provides Virtual Machines High Availability(VMHA), and rescues KVM-based Virtual Machines(VM) from a failure events described below:

  • VM process down - restart vm (use nova stop API, and nova start API). Libvirt events will be also emitted by other failures.
  • Provisioning process down - restarts process, changes nova-compute service status to maintenance mode (use nova service-disable).
  • nova-compute host failure - evacuate all the VMs from failure host according to the following recovery methods (use nova evacuate API).
  • auto - evacuate all the VMs with no destination node for nova scheduler.
  • reserved_host - evacuate all the VMs with reserved hosts as the destination nodes for nova scheduler.
  • auto_priority - evacuate all the VMs by using auto recovery method firstly. If failed, then using reserved_host recovery method.
  • rh_priority - evacuate all the VMs by using reserved_host recovery method firstly. If failed, then using auto recovery method.




The below services enables deplores to integrate with the Masakari directly or through custom plug-ins.

The Masakari service consists of the following components:

masakari-api
An OpenStack-native REST API that processes API requests by sending them to the masakari-engine over Remote Procedure Call (RPC).
masakari-engine
Processes the notifications received from masakari-api by executing the recovery workflow in asynchronous way.

This section describes how to install and configure Masakari services on the compute node.

This section assumes that you already have a working OpenStack environment with the following components installed: Nova, Glance, Cinder, Neutron and Identity.

The installation and configuration vary by distribution.

This section describes how to install and configure Masakari for Ubuntu 18.04 (bionic).

Before you install and configure the masakari service, you must create databases, service credentials, and API endpoints.

1.
To create the masakari database, follow these steps:
Use the database access client to connect to the database server as the root user:

# mysql


Create the masakari database:

mysql> CREATE DATABASE masakari CHARACTER SET utf8;


Grant access privileges to the databases:

mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON masakari.* TO 'username'@'localhost' \
  IDENTIFIED BY 'MASAKARI_DBPASS';
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON masakari.* TO 'username'@'%' \
  IDENTIFIED BY 'MASAKARI_DBPASS';


Replace MASAKARI_DBPASS with a suitable password.

Exit the database access client.

2.
Source the admin credentials to gain access to admin-only CLI commands:

$ . admin-openrc


3.
Create the Masakari service credentials:
Create the masakari user with password as masakari:

$ openstack user create --password-prompt masakari
User Password:
Repeat User Password:
+---------------------+----------------------------------+
| Field               | Value                            |
+---------------------+----------------------------------+
| domain_id           | default                          |
| enabled             | True                             |
| id                  | 8a7dbf5279404537b1c7b86c033620fe |
| name                | masakari                             |
| options             | {}                               |
| password_expires_at | None                             |
+---------------------+----------------------------------+


Add the admin role to the masakari user:

$ openstack role add --project service --user masakari admin


Create the masakari service entity:

$ openstack service create --name masakari \
--description "masakari high availability" instance-ha
+-------------+----------------------------------+
| Field       | Value                            |

Configuration Options

The following is an overview of all available configuration options in Masakari.

string
keystone
keystone, noauth2

This determines the strategy to use for authentication: keystone or noauth2. ‘noauth2’ is designed for testing only, as it does no actual credential checking. ‘noauth2’ provides administrative credentials only if ‘admin’ is specified as the username.

Possible values:
Either ‘keystone’ (default) or ‘noauth2’.


Services that use this:
masakari-api


Related options:
None




boolean
False

When True, the ‘X-Forwarded-For’ header is treated as the canonical remote address. When False (the default), the ‘remote_address’ header is used.

You should only enable this if you have an HTML sanitizing proxy.

Possible values:
True, False (default)


Services that use this:
masakari-api


Related options:
None




integer

As a query can potentially return many thousands of items, you can limit the maximum number of items in a single response by setting this option.

Possible values:
Any positive integer. Default is 1000.


Services that use this:
masakari-api


Related options:
None




string
<None>

This string is prepended to the normal URL that is returned in links to the OpenStack Masakari API. If it is empty (the default), the URLs are returned unchanged.

Finally the name of a binding method that must be present in tokens.


list
['service']

A choice of roles that must be present in a service token. Service tokens are allowed to request that an expired token can be used and so this check should tightly control that only actual services should be sending this token.

By default SSL checks that the name in the server’s certificate matches the hostname in the transport_url. In some configurations it may be preferable to use the virtual hostname instead, for example if the server uses the Server Name Indication TLS extension (rfc6066) to provide a certificate per virtual host. Set ssl_verify_vhost to True if the server’s SSL certificate uses the virtual host name instead of the DNS name.

Configuration Options

The following is an overview of all available configuration options in Masakari.

unknown type
{'pre': ['disable_compute_service_task'], 'main': ['prepare_HA_enabled_instances_task'], 'post': ['evacuate_instances_task']}

This option allows operator to customize tasks to be executed for host failure auto recovery workflow.

Provide list of strings reflecting to the task classes that should be included to the host failure recovery workflow. The full classname path of all task classes should be defined in the ‘masakari.task_flow.tasks’ of setup.cfg and these classes may be implemented by OpenStack Masaskari project team, deployer or third party.

By default below three tasks will be part of this config option:- 1. disable_compute_service_task 2. prepare_HA_enabled_instances_task 3. evacuate_instances_task

The allowed values for this option is comma separated dictionary of object names in between { and }.


unknown type

This option allows operator to customize tasks to be executed for instance failure recovery workflow.

Provide list of strings reflecting to the task classes that should be included to the instance failure recovery workflow. The full classname path of all task classes should be defined in the ‘masakari.task_flow.tasks’ of setup.cfg and these classes may be implemented by OpenStack Masaskari project team, deployer or third party.

By default below three tasks will be part of this config option:- 1. stop_instance_task 2. start_instance_task 3. confirm_instance_active_task

The allowed values for this option is comma separated dictionary of object names in between { and }.


unknown type
{'pre': ['disable_compute_node_task'], 'main': ['confirm_compute_node_disabled_task'], 'post': []}

This option allows operator to customize tasks to be executed for process failure recovery workflow.

Provide list of strings reflecting to the task classes that should be included to the process failure recovery workflow. The full classname path of all task classes should be defined in the ‘masakari.task_flow.tasks’ of setup.cfg and these classes may be implemented by OpenStack Masaskari project team, deployer or third party.

By default below two tasks will be part of this config option:- 1. disable_compute_node_task 2. confirm_compute_node_disabled_task

The allowed values for this option is comma separated dictionary of object names in between { and }.


If operator wants customized recovery workflow, so here is guidelines mentioned for how to associate custom tasks from Third Party Library along with standard recovery workflows in Masakari.:

1.
First make sure required Third Party Library is installed on the Masakari engine node. Below is the sample custom task file. For example:

from oslo_log import log as logging
from taskflow import task
LOG = logging.getLogger(__name__)
class Noop(task.Task):
    def __init__(self, novaclient):
        self.novaclient = novaclient
        super(Noop, self).__init__()
    def execute(self, **kwargs):
        LOG.info("Custom task executed successfully..!!")
        return


1.
Configure custom task in Third Party Library’s setup.cfg as below:

For example, Third Party Library’s setup.cfg will have following entry points

masakari.task_flow.tasks =
    custom_pre_task = <custom_task_class_path_from_third_party_library>
    custom_main_task = <custom_task_class_path_from_third_party_library>
    custom_post_task = <custom_task_class_path_from_third_party_library>


Note: Entry point in Third Party Library’s setup.cfg should have same key as in Masakari setup.cfg for respective failure recovery.

1.
Configure custom task in Masakari’s new conf file custom-recovery-methods.conf with same name which was given in the setup.cfg to locate class path. For example(custom task added in host auto failure config option):

host_auto_failure_recovery_tasks = {
'pre': ['disable_compute_service_task', 'custom_pre_task'],
'main': ['custom_main_task', 'prepare_HA_enabled_instances_task'],
'post': ['evacuate_instances_task', 'custom_post_task']}


1.
If there are any configuration parameters required for custom task, then add them into custom-recovery-methods.conf under the same group/section where they are registered in Third Party Library. All config parameters related to recovery method customization should be part of newly added conf file. Operator will be responsible to generate masakari.conf and related configuration files by themselves.
2.
Operator should ensure output of each task should be made available to the next tasks needing them.

WARNING:

JSON formatted policy file is deprecated since Masakari 11.0.0 (Wallaby). This oslopolicy-convert-json-to-yaml tool will migrate your existing JSON-formatted policy file to YAML in a backward-compatible way.

Masakari comprises of two services api and engine, each performing different functions. The user-facing interface is a REST API, while internally Masakari communicates via an RPC message passing mechanism.

The API servers process REST requests, which typically involve database reads/writes, sending RPC messages to other Masakari engine, and generating responses to the REST calls. RPC messaging is done via the oslo.messaging library, an abstraction on top of message queues. The Masakari engine will run on the same host where the Masakari api is running, and has a manager that is listening for RPC messages. The manager too has periodic tasks.

Below you will find a helpful explanation of the key components of a typical Masakari deployment. [image]

  • DB: sql database for data storage.
  • API: component that receives HTTP requests, converts commands and communicates with masakari engine via the oslo.messaging queue.
  • Engine: Executes recovery workflow and communicates with nova via HTTP.

Similar to other OpenStack services Masakari emits notifications to the message bus with the Notifier class provided by oslo.messaging-doc. From the notification consumer point of view a notification consists of two parts: an envelope with a fixed structure defined by oslo.messaging and a payload defined by the service emitting the notification. The envelope format is the following:

{
    "priority": <string, selected from a predefined list by the sender>,
    "event_type": <string, defined by the sender>,
    "timestamp": <string, the isotime of when the notification emitted>,
    "publisher_id": <string, defined by the sender>,
    "message_id": <uuid, generated by oslo>,
    "payload": <json serialized dict, defined by the sender>
}


Driver Description
messaging Send notifications using the 1.0 message format
messagingv2 Send notifications using the 2.0 message format (with a message envelope)
routing Configurable routing notifier (by priority or event_type)
log Publish notifications via Python logging infrastructure
test Store notifications in memory for test verification
noop Disable sending notifications entirely

So notifications can be completely disabled by setting the following in Masakari configuration file:

[oslo_messaging_notifications]
driver = noop


Masakari supports only Versioned notifications.

Masakari code uses the masakari.rpc.get_notifier call to get a configured oslo.messaging Notifier object and it uses the oslo provided functions on the Notifier object to emit notifications. The configuration of the returned Notifier object depends on the parameters of the get_notifier call and the value of the oslo.messaging configuration options driver and topics. The versioned notification the the payload is not a free form dictionary but a serialized oslo.versionedobjects-doc.

For example the wire format of the segment.update notification looks like the following:

{
    "event_type": "api.update.segments.start",
    "timestamp": "2018-11-27 14:32:20.396940",
    "payload": {
        "masakari_object.name": "SegmentApiPayload",
        "masakari_object.data": {
            "description": null,
            "fault": null,
            "recovery_method": "auto",
            "name": "test",
            "service_type": "compute",
            "id": 877,
            "uuid": "89597691-bebd-4860-a93e-1b6e9de34b9e"
        }, "
        "masakari_object.version": "1.0",
        "masakari_object.namespace": "masakari"
    },
    "priority": "INFO",
    "publisher_id": "masakari-api:test-virtualbox",
    "message_id": "e6322900-025d-4dd6-a3a1-3e0e1e9badeb"
}


The serialized oslo versionedobject as a payload provides a version number to the consumer so the consumer can detect if the structure of the payload is changed. Masakari provides the following contract regarding the versioned notification payload:

  • the payload version defined by the masakari_object.version field of the payload will be increased only if the syntax or the semantics of the masakari_object.data field of the payload is changed.
  • a minor version bump indicates a backward compatible change which means that only new fields are added to the payload so a well written consumer can still consume the new payload without any change.
  • a major version bump indicates a backward incompatible change of the payload which can mean removed fields, type change, etc in the payload.
  • there is an additional field ‘masakari_object.name’ for every payload besides ‘masakari_object.data’ and ‘masakari_object.version’. This field contains the name of the Masakari internal representation of the payload type. Client code should not depend on this name.

This provides the list of existing versioned notifications with sample payloads.
