The Administration Dashboard

The HP Cloud OS for Moonshot Administration Dashboard is the interface you’ll use to manage your cloud after the cloud environment is created in the Operational Dashboard.

You can access the Administration Dashboard via different user roles to perform the tasks assigned to each role. Apart from the basic functions, such as creating projects, users, roles, resource pools, and topology templates, HP Cloud OS for Moonshot provides two major features to enhance your cloud experience:

 Moonshot Management  Workload Service

 Moonshot Management

Managing the IT resources in a scalable, dynamic cloud is challenging. To have a simplified and enhanced cloud management experience, HP Cloud OS for Moonshot provides a Single Pane of Glass (SPOG) view with the Chassis Manager.

The Chassis Manager caters to three important requirements of a Cloud Administrator.

1. Display an overall perspective of the datacenter, hosted servers and health of chassis in the

Datacenter View

2. Provide detailed information of individual chassis host and its health status in the Single Chassis

View

3. Server management with the Power On/Off actions and Maintenance action

Datacenter View

It provides an overview of the hosted chassis in a datacenter. In this view, Cloud Administrator is able to add/delete chassis, which then goes on to discover all cartridges and nodes of a chassis. At a glance, the user is able to comprehend the datacenter health and view critical events that need immediate attention.

Single Chassis View It provides in-depth information of a selected chassis. In this view, the user is able to grasp the overall

structure and health of the contained cartridges and nodes. A drill-down to individual cartridges or nodes provides detailed information in terms of configuration,

power status, health status, workload information etc. Event information at individual chassis level helps to monitor chassis events. The user is also able to perform power Off/On operations on individual cartridges and nodes. For more details on working with Moonshot Chassis, refer to the Moonshot Management section.

 Workload Service

In Cloud Enterprise IT, a typical goal is to deploy a composite service, which is comprised of different application components that cater to different aspects of a service. Each application will have its own computing pattern defining its specific workload and hence needs specialized deployment of infrastructure elements. Namely: Compute, Storage and Network. The Workload service aims to facilitate the end user in deployment of a composite service in user-friendly manner. For details on creating and provisioning a workload, refer to the Workloads section.

Workloads

Workloads functionality in HP Cloud OS for Moonshot aims to facilitate the end user in deployment of a composite service comprising of different applications and hence different workloads in an easy to use manner.

The end user can browse through HP’s catalog listing of pre-tested and pre-crafted workloads, download and publish them to the cloud and launch them to get a running application infrastructure without worrying about the intricate and in-depth understanding of technical details like topology, OpenStack nova flavor, Moonshot Cartridge specification etc. The end user can also define personalized workloads by following a simplified folder structure and can import the same to the cloud.

Page | 59

HP Cloud OS for Moonshot Administration Dashboard Help Version 1.0

Workloads Service

Facilitates automated deployment of a workload based service realization.

Workload

A composite entity comprising Application Image, Infrastructure Design, Infrastructure hints for specific resource requirement.

Workload Topology

An infrastructure blueprint defining infrastructure topology.

Deployment Profile

A cloud specific workload binding document which references cloud resources and can be provisioned (or deployed) as is to create a deployed workload. It references specific cloud resources.

Deployed Workload

A realized service after the deployment profile has been successfully launched by the end user

Understanding Workload Entities

Some of the important entities that help to make up Workloads based provisioning are:

Relationship between Workload Entities

A workload entity is an abstract representation of a service which maps to a given infrastructure blue-print (technically termed as topology). The same workload can be realized by different cloud resources present in the system which can be uniquely represented as deployment profiles.

For Example: Let us assume that a single server group based workload requirement is, to serve static web hosting. As we know that both Scott_1 and Borman can serve static web hosting, it is thus possible to have two different deployment profiles; where one maps to nova flavor compute resource of Borman while the other maps to Scott_1. Also, a given deployment profile can be launched multiple times for same or different user. Considering this, there is an inherent relationship amongst workloads, topology, deployment profiles and deployed workloads which has been illustrated below:

Figure 43: Relationship between Workload Entities

Page | 60

HP Cloud OS for Moonshot Administration Dashboard Help Version 1.0

Content Creator

Responsibility: to create pre-tested workload

Content Publisher

Responsibility: Publishes content on a centralized shared portal maintained by HP

Cloud Administrator

Responsibility: Imports content from different sources using CODN. Currently, CODN allows importing of workload content from local folder (like Glance allows importing images) as well as from remote portal maintained by HP. Cloud Administrator also creates deployment profile(s) (more than one in most of cases) as per resources available in the cloud

Cloud User

Responsibility: Provisions a deployable profile. Cloud User can also create a deployment profile

Cloud Personalities

Lifecycle of a Workload is a multi-phase activity and needs different actors to collaborate together to make a simplified realization of a given application infrastructure by the end user. The list below elaborates on the actors along with their roles and responsibilities in entire workload lifecycle.

All the above players contribute towards realizing the lifecycle of a Workload and play relevant role in each stage of its workflow.

Understanding Workload Content

Each workload is represented as a CSU file, which is inherently a data container to store various elements of workload (like images, topology design etc.) in compressed format as shown in the diagram below:

Figure 44: Workload Content

Page | 61

HP Cloud OS for Moonshot Administration Dashboard Help Version 1.0

Category

Type

Description

Infrastructure Documents

Topology

Defines the blue print of the infrastructure. Every workload has one topology document.

UI Binding

Contains graphical aspect of infrastructure design and is needed by CCUE designer to open the topology in Administrator Dashboard. Every workload must have UI binding document corresponding to the topology document.

Default profile

Defines the structure of deployment profiles for a given topology document. Every workload must have a default profile corresponding to topology document.

Application Software specification

Deployment Profile Guide

Defines the software aspect of the workload. It primarily contains infrastructure hints in cloud agnostic format so that appropriate cloud resources can be discovered and can be referred in deployment profiles, which are used to deploy (often termed as launch) a given workload.

Images

OS image

Specifies OS image used in server provisioning. A workload can have number of OS images depending upon the server design mentioned in the topology.

Kernel image

Every Baremetal OS image is associated with a kernel image which is used during PXE boot process.

RAM disk image

Every Baremetal OS image is associated with a RAMdisk image which is used during PXE boot process.

CSU specification

Manifest

Specifies layout of workload and its components and their dependencies. It is used by CODN to import a given workload during the import process of the workload.

Help

Readme

Contains description of a workload.

HP Cloud OS for Moonshot provides the functionality to import the CSU file and create a workload (a cloud entity) which can be managed by the Administration Dashboard. This section explains in detail the following:

1. Elements of a Workload

2. Content Structure of CSU File

3. Manifest file

Entire section illustrates the content using a sample Apache workload which allows you to deploy single Apache server on a Moonshot cartridge.

Elements of Workload

A workload typically comprises of images, topology, manifest file etc. Every workload must have the following set of components as described in the table below:

Page | 62

HP Cloud OS for Moonshot Administration Dashboard Help Version 1.0

Content Structure of a CSU File

As mentioned above, a workload CSU file is an archived version of different content types in a compressed format. The entire content is organized in a folder structure. The below figure explains the layout of Apache workload:

Figure 45: File Structure of Apache Workload

Understanding the Manifest File

A manifest file is a JSON file which contains specification of elements of a workload. The below picture explains the layout of Manifest file Apache workload:

Understanding Workload Lifecycle

The following figure illustrates the lifecycle of workload entities and the workflow required when the content is being imported from remote folder using CODN:

Figure 48: Workload Lifecycle

Each lifecycle phase depicted above, and the various tasks that its respective owner / cloud personality plays, is briefly explained in the following sections.

Note: The next section “Managing Workload Lifecycle using Administrator Dashboard” illustrates Workload workflow

in detail.

Phase 1: Create Content

Content Creator is responsible for creating the deployable content that is uploaded to a shared portal. Content creation involves:

1. Workload Creation - packaging different aspects of a workload (as topology, images,

infrastructure hints etc.)

2. Modifying the Manifest file

Phase 2: Upload Content

Content Publisher bundles the workload files as a .csu file and uploads it on a centralized portal. It is later published to HP Cloud’s Public catalog after necessary approvals. It is then available for importing into the cloud environment using HP Cloud OS for Moonshot Administration Dashboard. Access to the catalog is based on username and password credentials.

Phase 3: Download / Import to Cloud

Workload Management is primarily the task of Cloud Administrator. While the Cloud Administrator downloads the workload content and publishes it for user consumption, he also creates / edits and launches deployment profiles. Other roles can only manipulate the workload content that has been downloaded as per the project requirements.

Page | 66

HP Cloud OS for Moonshot Administration Dashboard Help Version 1.0

Phase 4: Publish to Cloud

Once the content is downloaded / imported, the Cloud Administrator publishes it to the Cloud thus enabling the Workloads to be used in different projects depending on the scope defined while publishing the content.

Phase 5: Create Profile

A workload can have multiple deployment profiles. When a workload is downloaded from CODN or is imported from local system, a deployment guide that is part of the setup is also downloaded to your cloud environment. This deployment guide helps in the creation of a deployment profile. Once the deployment profile is created, you can provision the workload.

Phase 6: Provision

Once the Workloads are deployed, Project Administrators / Users can use the workload content to create / edit deployment profile and launch profile as per project requirements.

Managing Workload Lifecycle using Administration Dashboard

Workload workflow using Administration Dashboard can be depicted in the following sequence of steps:

Figure 49: Workload Lifecycle using Administration Dashboard

Each step is explained in detail in the following sections.

Create Workload

Creation of workload is a manual process. This necessitates the need of assembling the following elements as per the folder structure explained in the Understanding the Workload section and creating an archive file with a .csu extension:

1. Infrastructures documents

a. Topology b. UI binding document c. Default profile

2. Deployment Profile Guide

3. Images

4. CSU file

Page | 67

HP Cloud OS for Moonshot Administration Dashboard Help Version 1.0

Currently, you can use CCUE designer to generate infrastructure documents and export its content as an XML file. CSU and Deployment Profile Guide can be generated using normal text editor. Content of the deployment profile needs to be customized as per desired topology.

Figure 50: Deployment Profile Guide

Publish Workload to HP Cloud OS Enterprise Portal

This process involves uploading content to HP Cloud OS Enterprise portal and initialization of the HP content approval process. Once content is approved by the appropriate authorities, it is published to HP Cloud Public catalog. The Cloud Administrator can now import, download and publish the workload in the Cloud environment using the Administration Dashboard. Refer to Updates and Extensions section for details.

Manage Topology Designs

Use the Topology Designs area of the HP Cloud OS for Moonshot Administration Dashboard to manage service designs, which are the recipes for automating the cloud. A topology design is used for straightforward IaaS deployments, and allows you to design in a free-form layout where connection relationships implicitly define the service fulfillment lifecycle. The provider for Topology Designs is HP Cloud OS for Moonshot. Available components are determined by the version of OpenStack you select within HP Cloud OS for Moonshot, e.g., Diablo, Grizzly.

As part of creating a design, you add nodes and set properties in the Editor Tab. Use the Validation Tab at any time to view details about design errors. After creating the design, you can optionally create one or more Profiles based on the design which allows you to override some of the original configuration properties. Profiles create an association to a design document and allow you to set different values such as flavors, machine images and keypairs.

Note: Topology Designs can be created by all users but should ideally be created by a Cloud Architect.

* If the topology design is created by a Project Admin or a Project User, it is suggested that the scope should not be selected as Public, Cloud as the user will be unable save and publish the design. * Project User cannot edit any topology created by Cloud Architect.

* Project Administrator can edit topology designs with Project scope only, such as: Public, Project; Private, Project.

The Topology Designer allows you to perform different tasks using the following:

 Browse Designs Page  Overview Tab  Editor Tab  Profiles Tab  Revisions Tab  Validations Tab
