os-smoke.sh

A quick utility to set up networking and launch a single instance on a fresh OpenStack deployment. I use this as a quick sanity test, which I find much faster than setting up Tempest. Internally, os-smoke uses the python-openstackclient1, so make sure you have this installed.

Usage

os-smoke provides 2 scripts:

• ./os-smoke.sh will create the artifacts (server, networks, subnets, router, floating IP)
• ./os-unsmoke.sh will tear down the artifacts

Configuration

The behavior of the script can be configured by defining environment variables, either in the shell or by defining them in a local.conf file.

• SMK_RCFILE: a path to the cloud's rc file
• SMK_IMG_NAME: the name of the image to use on the instance
• SMK_IMG_URL: (optional) path to a qcow2 image to upload to the cloud, in case the image SMK_IMG_NAME isn't available.

A local.conf.sample has been provided with this script and can serve as a starting point for configuration. The file comments go more in details in the description of each variable, and show each variable default value.

Testing

Not much testing for now, but I do use a stylechecker2, to support a few shell formats:

• bash
• dash
• ksh
• sh

A Makefile is provided to run the tests. It can be executed like this:

$ make test
