Migrating Zuul V2 CI jobs to V3
===============================
The OpenStack CI system moved from Zuul v2 to Zuul v3, and all CI jobs moved to
the new CI system. All jobs have been migrated automatically to a format
compatible with Zuul v3; the jobs produced in this way however are suboptimal
and do not use the capabilities introduced by Zuul v3, which allow for re-use of
job parts, in the form of Ansible roles, as well as inheritance between jobs.
DevStack hosts a set of roles, plays and jobs that can be used by other
repositories to define their DevStack based jobs. To benefit from them, jobs
must be migrated from the legacy v2 ones into v3 native format.
This document provides guidance and examples to make the migration process as
painless and smooth as possible.
Where to host the job definitions.
==================================
In Zuul V3 jobs can be defined in the repository that contains the code they
excercise. If you are writing CI jobs for an OpenStack service you can define
your DevStack based CI jobs in one of the repositories that host the code for
your service. If you have a branchless repo, like a Tempest plugin, that is
a convenient choice to host the job definitions since job changes do not have
to be backported. For example, see the beginning of the ``.zuul.yaml`` from the
sahara Tempest plugin repo:
.. code:: yaml
# In http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/sahara-tests/tree/.zuul.yaml:
- job:
name: sahara-tests-tempest
description: |
Run Tempest tests from the Sahara plugin.
parent: devstack-tempest
Which base job to start from
============================
If your job needs an OpenStack cloud deployed via DevStack, but you don't plan
on running Tempest tests, you can start from one of the base
:doc:`jobs <zuul_jobs>` defined in the DevStack repo.
The ``devstack`` job can be used for both single-node jobs and multi-node jobs,
and it includes the list of services used in the integrated gate (keystone,
glance, nova, cinder, neutron and swift). Different topologies can be achieved
by switching the nodeset used in the child job.
The ``devstack-base`` job is similar to ``devstack`` but it does not specify any
required repo or service to be run in DevStack. It can be useful to setup
children jobs that use a very narrow DevStack setup.
If your job needs an OpenStack cloud deployed via DevStack, and you do plan
on running Tempest tests, you can start from one of the base jobs defined in the
Tempest repo.
The ``devstack-tempest`` job can be used for both single-node jobs and
multi-node jobs. Different topologies can be achieved by switching the nodeset
used in the child job.
Jobs can be customized as follows without writing any Ansible code:
- add and/or remove DevStack services
- add or modify DevStack and services configuration
- install DevStack plugins
- extend the number of sub-nodes (multinode only)
- define extra log files and/or directories to be uploaded on logs.o.o
- define extra log file extensions to be rewritten to .txt for ease of access
Tempest jobs can be further customized as follows:
- define the Tempest tox environment to be used
- define the test concurrency
- define the test regular expression
Writing Ansible code, or importing existing custom roles, jobs can be further
extended by:
- adding pre and/or post playbooks
- overriding the run playbook, add custom roles
The (partial) example below extends a Tempest single node base job
"devstack-tempest" in the Kuryr repository. The parent job name is defined in
job.parent.
.. code:: yaml
# https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/kuryr-kubernetes/tree/.zuul.yaml:
- job:
name: kuryr-kubernetes-tempest-base
parent: devstack-tempest
description: Base kuryr-kubernetes-job
required-projects:
- openstack/devstack-plugin-container
- openstack/kuryr
- openstack/kuryr-kubernetes
- openstack/kuryr-tempest-plugin
- openstack/neutron-lbaas
vars:
tempest_test_regex: '^(kuryr_tempest_plugin.tests.)'
tox_envlist: 'all'
devstack_localrc:
KURYR_K8S_API_PORT: 8080
TEMPEST_PLUGINS: '/opt/stack/kuryr-tempest-plugin'
devstack_services:
kubernetes-api: true
kubernetes-controller-manager: true
kubernetes-scheduler: true
kubelet: true
kuryr-kubernetes: true
(...)
devstack_plugins:
kuryr-kubernetes: https://git.openstack.org/openstack/kuryr
devstack-plugin-container: https://git.openstack.org/openstack/devstack-plugin-container
neutron-lbaas: https://git.openstack.org/openstack/neutron-lbaas
(...)
Job variables
=============
Variables can be added to the job in three different places:
- job.vars: these are global variables available to all node in the nodeset
- job.host-vars.[HOST]: these are variables available only to the specified HOST
- job.group-vars.[GROUP]: these are variables available only to the specified
GROUP
Zuul merges dict variables through job inheritance. Host and group variables
override variables with the same name defined as global variables.
In the example below, for the sundaes job, hosts that are not part of the
subnode group will run vanilla and chocolate. Hosts in the subnode group will
run stracciatella and strawberry.
.. code:: yaml
- job:
name: ice-creams
vars:
devstack_service:
vanilla: true
chocolate: false
group-vars:
subnode:
devstack_service:
pistacchio: true
stracciatella: true
- job:
name: sundaes
parent: ice-creams
vars:
devstack_service:
chocolate: true
group-vars:
subnode:
devstack_service:
strawberry: true
pistacchio: false
DevStack Gate Flags
===================
The old CI system worked using a combination of DevStack, Tempest and
devstack-gate to setup a test environment and run tests against it. With Zuul
V3, the logic that used to live in devstack-gate is moved into different repos,
including DevStack, Tempest and grenade.
DevStack-gate exposes an interface for job definition based on a number of
DEVSTACK_GATE_* environment variables, or flags. This guide shows how to map
DEVSTACK_GATE flags into the new
system.
The repo column indicates in which repository is hosted the code that replaces
the devstack-gate flag. The new implementation column explains how to reproduce
the same or a similar behaviour in Zuul v3 jobs. For localrc settings,
devstack-gate defined a default value. In ansible jobs the default is either the
value defined in the parent job, or the default from DevStack, if any.

OVERRIDE_ZUUL_BRANCH zuul override-checkout:
[branch]
in the job definition.
DEVSTACK_GATE_NET_OVERLAY zuul-jobs A bridge called
br-infra is set up for
all jobs that inherit
from multinode with
a dedicated `bridge role <https://docs.openstack.org/infra/zuul-jobs/roles.html#role-multi-node-bridge>`_.
DEVSTACK_GATE_FEATURE_MATRIX devstack-gate ``test_matrix_features``
variable of the
test-matrix role in
devstack-gate. This
is a temporary
solution, feature
matrix will go away.
In the future services
will be defined in
jobs only.
DEVSTACK_CINDER_VOLUME_CLEAR devstack *CINDER_VOLUME_CLEAR: true/false*
in devstack_localrc
in the job vars.
DEVSTACK_GATE_NEUTRON devstack True by default. To
disable, disable all
neutron services in
devstack_services in
the job definition.
DEVSTACK_GATE_CONFIGDRIVE devstack *FORCE_CONFIG_DRIVE: true/false*
in devstack_localrc
in the job vars.
DEVSTACK_GATE_INSTALL_TESTONLY devstack *INSTALL_TESTONLY_PACKAGES: true/false*
in devstack_localrc
in the job vars.
DEVSTACK_GATE_VIRT_DRIVER devstack *VIRT_DRIVER: [virt driver]*
in devstack_localrc
in the job vars.
DEVSTACK_GATE_LIBVIRT_TYPE devstack *LIBVIRT_TYPE: [libvirt type]*
in devstack_localrc
in the job vars.
DEVSTACK_GATE_TEMPEST devstack Defined by the job
tempest that is used. The
``devstack`` job only
runs devstack.
The ``devstack-tempest``
one triggers a Tempest
run as well.
DEVSTACK_GATE_TEMPEST_FULL tempest *tox_envlist: full*
in the job vars.
DEVSTACK_GATE_TEMPEST_ALL tempest *tox_envlist: all*
in the job vars.
DEVSTACK_GATE_TEMPEST_ALL_PLUGINS tempest *tox_envlist: all-plugin*
in the job vars.
DEVSTACK_GATE_TEMPEST_SCENARIOS tempest *tox_envlist: scenario*
in the job vars.
TEMPEST_CONCURRENCY tempest *tempest_concurrency: [value]*
in the job vars. This
is available only on
jobs that inherit from
``devstack-tempest``
down.
DEVSTACK_GATE_TEMPEST_NOTESTS tempest *tox_envlist: venv-tempest*
in the job vars. This
will create Tempest
virtual environment
but run no tests.
DEVSTACK_GATE_SMOKE_SERIAL tempest *tox_envlist: smoke-serial*
in the job vars.
DEVSTACK_GATE_TEMPEST_DISABLE_TENANT_ISOLATION tempest *tox_envlist: full-serial*
in the job vars.
*TEMPEST_ALLOW_TENANT_ISOLATION: false*
in devstack_localrc in
the job vars.

DevStack gate flag Status Details
===================================== ====== ==========================
DEVSTACK_GATE_TOPOLOGY WIP The topology depends on the base
job that is used and more
specifically on the nodeset
attached to it. The new job
format allows project to define
the variables to be passed to
every node/node-group that exists
in the topology. Named topologies
that include the nodeset and the
matching variables can be defined
in the form of base jobs.
DEVSTACK_GATE_GRENADE TBD Grenade Zuul V3 jobs will be
hosted in the grenade repo.
GRENADE_BASE_BRANCH TBD Grenade Zuul V3 jobs will be
hosted in the grenade repo.
DEVSTACK_GATE_NEUTRON_DVR TBD Depends on multinode support.
DEVSTACK_GATE_EXERCISES TBD Can be done on request.
DEVSTACK_GATE_IRONIC TBD This will probably be implemented
on ironic side.
DEVSTACK_GATE_IRONIC_DRIVER TBD This will probably be implemented
on ironic side.
DEVSTACK_GATE_IRONIC_BUILD_RAMDISK TBD This will probably be implemented
on ironic side.
DEVSTACK_GATE_POSTGRES Legacy This flag exists in d-g but the
only thing that it does is
capture postgres logs. This is
already supported by the roles in
post, so the flag is useless in
the new jobs. postgres itself can
be enabled via the
devstack_service job variable.
DEVSTACK_GATE_ZEROMQ Legacy This has no effect in d-g.
DEVSTACK_GATE_MQ_DRIVER Legacy This has no effect in d-g.
DEVSTACK_GATE_TEMPEST_STRESS_ARGS Legacy Stress is not in Tempest anymore.
DEVSTACK_GATE_TEMPEST_HEAT_SLOW Legacy This is not used anywhere.
DEVSTACK_GATE_CELLS Legacy This has no effect in d-g.
DEVSTACK_GATE_NOVA_API_METADATA_SPLIT Legacy This has no effect in d-g.
