Prerequisites

Objectives

This guide aims to show you how to:

• Create a working Resource with Openstack infrastructure
• Include an external IP address as part of the infrastructure so the Resource service can be accessed publicly
• Create Compute instances accessible with SSH keys that are stored securely in TNC-O (Brent), and provided to lifecycle scripts and inventory to be able to connect to the instance.
• Add lifecycle scripts to configure a software function for the Resource
• Create an instance of the Resource

Prerequisites

To follow this guide you will need:

• LMCTL v2.5.0+
• A ready-to-use Telco Network Cloud Orchestration (TNC-O) environment
• An Openstack environment (for testing we recommend installing DevStack. Playbooks to setup a DevStack VM can be found on GitHub)

Openstack

Your Openstack environment will need:

• Compute instance image with SSH password access support: xenial-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1 (this should be included with a standard DevStack install or manually loaded from here)
• A public network (should be included with a standard DevStack install)
• A key-pair named apache1_server_key of type SSH Key to be used by compute instances (create one through the Openstack UI, and save the private key that is downloaded when creating the key)

Telco Network Cloud Orchestration (TNC-O)

Your TNC-O environment must have the following:

• Openstack VIM Driver installed and onboarded
• Ansible Lifecycle Driver installed and onboarded
• A valid Deployment Location onboarded to TNC-O with the necessary properties required by the Openstack VIM Driver and Ansible Lifecycle Driver

Get Started

Once you have fulfilled the prerequisites you may start creating the resource
