Using Scaleway with Ansible
***************************
.. _scaleway_introduction:
Introduction
============
`Scaleway <https://scaleway.com>`_ is a cloud provider supported by Ansible, version 2.6 or higher via a dynamic inventory plugin and modules.
Those modules are:
- :ref:`scaleway_sshkey_module`: adds a public SSH key from a file or value to the Packet infrastructure. Every subsequently-created device will have this public key installed in .ssh/authorized_keys.
- :ref:`scaleway_compute_module`: manages servers on Scaleway. You can use this module to create, restart and delete servers.
- :ref:`scaleway_volume_module`: manages volumes on Scaleway.
.. note::
This guide assumes you are familiar with Ansible and how it works.
If you're not, have a look at :ref:`ansible_documentation` before getting started.
.. _scaleway_requirements:
Requirements
============
The Scaleway modules and inventory script connect to the Scaleway API using `Scaleway REST API <https://developer.scaleway.com>`_.
To use the modules and inventory script you'll need a Scaleway API token.
You can generate an API token via the Scaleway console `here <https://cloud.scaleway.com/#/credentials>`__.
The simplest way to authenticate yourself is to set the Scaleway API token in an environment variable:
.. code-block:: bash
$ export SCW_TOKEN=00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444
If you're not comfortable exporting your API token, you can pass it as a parameter to the modules using the ``api_token`` argument.
If you want to use a new SSH keypair in this tutorial, you can generate it to ``./id_rsa`` and ``./id_rsa.pub`` as:
.. code-block:: bash
$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -f ./id_rsa
If you want to use an existing keypair, just copy the private and public key over to the playbook directory.
.. _scaleway_add_sshkey:
How to add an SSH key?
======================
Connection to Scaleway Compute nodes use Secure Shell.
SSH keys are stored at the account level, which means that you can re-use the same SSH key in multiple nodes.
The first step to configure Scaleway compute resources is to have at least one SSH key configured.
:ref:`scaleway_sshkey_module` is a module that manages SSH keys on your Scaleway account.
You can add an SSH key to your account by including the following task in a playbook:
.. code-block:: yaml
- name: "Add SSH key"
scaleway_sshkey:
ssh_pub_key: "ssh-rsa AAAA..."
state: "present"
The ``ssh_pub_key`` parameter contains your ssh public key as a string. Here is an example inside a playbook:
.. code-block:: yaml
# SCW_API_KEY='XXX' ansible-playbook ./test/legacy/scaleway_ssh_playbook.yml
- name: Test SSH key lifecycle on a Scaleway account
hosts: localhost
gather_facts: no
environment:
SCW_API_KEY: ""
tasks:
- scaleway_sshkey:
ssh_pub_key: "ssh-rsa AAAAB...424242 developer@example.com"
state: present
register: result
- assert:
that:
- result is success and result is changed
.. _scaleway_create_instance:
How to create a compute instance?
=================================
Now that we have an SSH key configured, the next step is to spin up a server!
:ref:`scaleway_compute_module` is a module that can create, update and delete Scaleway compute instances:
.. code-block:: yaml
- name: Create a server
scaleway_compute:
name: foobar
state: present
image: 00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444
organization: 00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444
region: ams1
commercial_type: START1-S
Here are the parameter details for the example shown above:
- ``name`` is the name of the instance (the one that will show up in your web console).
- ``image`` is the UUID of the system image you would like to use.
A list of all images is available for each availability zone.
- ``organization`` represents the organization that your account is attached to.
- ``region`` represents the Availability Zone which your instance is in (for this example, par1 and ams1).
- ``commercial_type`` represents the name of the commercial offers.
You can check out the Scaleway pricing page to find which instance is right for you.
Take a look at this short playbook to see a working example using ``scaleway_compute``:
.. code-block:: yaml
# SCW_TOKEN='XXX' ansible-playbook ./test/legacy/scaleway_compute.yml
- name: Test compute instance lifecycle on a Scaleway account
hosts: localhost
gather_facts: no
environment:
SCW_API_KEY: ""
tasks:
- name: Create a server
register: server_creation_task
scaleway_compute:
name: foobar
state: present
image: 00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444
organization: 00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444
region: ams1
commercial_type: START1-S
wait: true
- debug: var=server_creation_task
- assert:
that:
- server_creation_task is success
- server_creation_task is changed
- name: Run it
scaleway_compute:
name: foobar
state: running
image: 00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444
organization: 00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444
region: ams1
commercial_type: START1-S
wait: true
tags:
- web_server
register: server_run_task
- debug: var=server_run_task
- assert:
that:
- server_run_task is success
- server_run_task is changed
.. _scaleway_dynamic_inventory_tutorial:
Dynamic Inventory Script
========================
Ansible ships with :ref:`scaleway_inventory`.
You can now get a complete inventory of your Scaleway resources through this plugin and filter it on
different parameters (``regions`` and ``tags`` are currently supported).
Let's create an example!
Suppose that we want to get all hosts that got the tag web_server.
Create a file named ``scaleway_inventory.yml`` with the following content:
.. code-block:: yaml
plugin: scaleway
regions:
- ams1
- par1
tags:
- web_server
This inventory means that we want all hosts that got the tag ``web_server`` on the zones ``ams1`` and ``par1``.
Once you have configured this file, you can get the information using the following command:
::
$ ansible-inventory --list -i scaleway_inventory.yml
{
"_meta": {
"hostvars": {
"dd8e3ae9-0c7c-459e-bc7b-aba8bfa1bb8d": {
"ansible_verbosity": 6,
"arch": "x86_64",
"commercial_type": "START1-S",
"hostname": "foobar",
"ipv4": "192.0.2.1",
"organization": "00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444",
"state": "running",
"tags": [
"web_server"
]
}
}
},
"all": {
"children": [
"ams1",
"par1",
"ungrouped",
"web_server"
]
},
"ams1": {},
"par1": {
"hosts": [
"dd8e3ae9-0c7c-459e-bc7b-aba8bfa1bb8d"
]
},
"ungrouped": {},
"web_server": {
"hosts": [
"dd8e3ae9-0c7c-459e-bc7b-aba8bfa1bb8d"
]
}
}
As you can see, we get different groups of hosts.
``par1`` and ``ams1`` are groups based on location.
``web_server`` is a group based on a tag.
In case a filter parameter is not defined, the plugin supposes all values possible are wanted.
This means that for each tag that exists on your Scaleway compute nodes, a group based on each tag will be created.
