Docker based Platform Engine plugin for the Topology Modular Framework.
http://topology-docker.rtfd.org/
New
- A dockerfile for a test host container has been added. The purpose of this container is to serve as a general purpose test host, which includes by default several tools (iperf, tcpdump, for example) that are useful for test case execution.
- Fixing default host image in
ubuntu:14.04
. The default image for hosts used to beubuntu:latest
but since the actual image to which this points to can change, it could introduce issues for test cases that were developed under the assumption that the pointed-to image included the necessary tools for the test case. - Logging the image and container data. Image name, id, creation date, etc. are now logged automatically for every container.
- Docker nodes now mount their
/tmp
directory under the host/tmp
. The mount path of this directory under the host/tmp
is defined using the containerid
. - A new test that checks the proper functionality of host routes has been added. This is a functional test in which 2 hosts ping each other.
Changes
- Documentation for
image
attribute has been improved. This attribute was a source of confusion since it was not explicitly documented that theTAG
column needed to be included in theimage
value.
Fixes
- Nodes which fail to start are now not considered for rollback. Also, this rollback process is now a best effort since it just tries to stop nodes. If one of these nodes fails to stop, this will be logged and the process will continue.
Changes
The only change in this version is the transference of all specialized support nodes previously included with this platform engine into their own repositories. This change seeks to improve maintainability of the platform engine, separation of the support nodes issues, requirements and enhancements from those of the platform and, finally, endorse shared ownership of the nodes.
The new home for those support nodes are:
OpenSwitch support node: | https://github.com/HPENetworking/topology_docker_openswitch |
---|---|
Open vSwitch support node: | https://github.com/HPENetworking/topology_docker_openvswitch |
P4Switch support node: | https://github.com/HPENetworking/topology_docker_p4switch |
Ryu Controller support node: | https://github.com/HPENetworking/topology_docker_ryu |
New
The
binds
attribute can now be injected and extended by users. If you require to add a new bind directory to a node you may now specify the attributebinds
(and thus, also use attribute injection) separating the pair of binded directories with a;
. For example:/host/a:/container/a;/host/b:/container/b
OpenSwitch support node will now notify the container when the setup of the interfaces is done. This fixes many potential race conditions on container initialization. To be able to use this new feature an OpenSwitch image of a date greater than March 4 2016 is required.
Changes
- Set
topology
minimal version to1.5.0
. - Internal
docker exec
shell layer migrated to Topology's new shell API, available since 1.4.0 and improved in 1.5.0.
Fixes
- OpenSwitch support node will now ignore the
bonding_masters
interface when creating setting up the ports. - Fixed a race condition in OpenSwitch support node caused by a slower than
normal db schema setup in ovsdb. This race conditions caused an
IndexError
when setting up the image, causing the topology build to rollback.
Changes
- Node's/Container's hostname can now be set using the
hostname
attribute in the SZN description. OpenSwitch will always enforce theswitch
hostname for all nodes of this type. - Docker-py's will now use the server's API version, instead of the latest. With this it will no longer required to update the Docker daemon to run topology tests.
- Set
topology
minimal version to1.2.0
.
Changes
- Refactored node loading logic to use
topology.platforms.utils.NodeLoader
instead.
New
- Added Dockerfiles for Ryu and P4.
Changes
- The Open vSwitch node will now check that the
openvswitch
kernel module is loaded. It is supposed to work in user space, but we discovered many race conditions without the kernel module. Check the documentation of theopenvswitch
node for more information.
Fixes
- Improved openswitch's vtysh prompt regular expression to avoid false positives matches.
- Fixed a bug on shell management that caused the echo of the command to be included in the output, and thus interpreted as failed.
- Initial public release.
