Introduction

This heat template allows you to easily deploy a Cassandra cluster on OpenStack.

Quick start

  1. Clone this repository :

git clone https://github.com/frgaudet/openstack-heat-cassandra.git

  1. Source your OpenStack environment file :

source openrc.sh

  1. Prepare your parameters :

    • key_name: Name of key-pair to be used
    • image_id: Server image
    • net_id: Private network id
    • name: Prefix for all your instances's name

  2. Launch a Cluster :

cd openstack-heat-cassandra
openstack stack create -e lib/env.yaml \
	--parameter "key_name=fgaudet-key;image_id=Ubuntu Server 16.04 LTS (xenial);net_id=fgaudet-net2;name=fgaudet-cassandra" \
	-t cassandra.yaml \
	Cassandra-stack

Default node count is 3 (+ 1 seeder).

Parameters

You can change the default parameters to suit your own environment. For example, create a 5 nodes cluster, with a m1.xlarge flavor :

openstack stack create -e lib/env.yaml \
	--parameter "count=5;flavor=m1.xlarge;key_name=fgaudet-key;image_id=Ubuntu Server 16.04 LTS (xenial);net_id=fgaudet-net2;name=fgaudet-cassandra" \
	-t cassandra.yaml \
	Cassandra-stack

Note the stack id :

+---------------------+--------------------------------------------------------+
| Field               | Value                                                  |
+---------------------+--------------------------------------------------------+
| id                  | 3372c082-a049-405b-99b5-ac439278ea5f                   |
| stack_name          | Cassandra-stack                                        |

| updated_time        | None                                                   |
| stack_status        | CREATE_IN_PROGRESS                                     |
| stack_status_reason | Stack CREATE started                                   |
+---------------------+--------------------------------------------------------+

Check the master

Get your cluster's public IP address using the stack id (see above):

openstack stack output show 3372c082-a049-405b-99b5-ac439278ea5f public_ip

This command should return you something like this, with of course a real IP :

+--------------+--------------------------------------------------+
| Property     | Value                                            |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------+
| description  | The public IP address of this Cassandra cluster. |
| output_key   | public_ip                                        |
| output_value | "XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX"                                |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------+

Check it !

Connect to your seeder, using this IP you've just find out :

ssh <username>@IP

Then login with the cassandra user (via root):

ubuntu@fgaudet-cassandra:~$ sudo su -
root@fgaudet-cassandra:~# su - cassandra

and check your cluster :

cassandra@fgaudet-cassandra:~$ nodetool status
Datacenter: datacenter1
