Questions[conjure-up](ubuntu)

During the installation, I configured it to deploy 1 master and 2 worker nodes but I'm seeing a total of 10 VMs all together.

There are 3 VM's that are configured with the exact specifications I defined during the installation. The last VM in this list is configured with 4GB of memory while the remaining are configured with 1GB of memory.

After the installation completed, I ran kubectl get nodes and am only seeing 2 nodes total in the cluster. Perhaps I need to open an issue.

NAME            STATUS   ROLES    AGE   VERSION
juju-366554-6   Ready    <none>   12m   v1.16.1
juju-366554-7   Ready    <none>   12m   v1.16.1

Resource wise, it's not a problem for my ESXi host; however, would like to clean them up if they aren't necessary. I don't see any documentation explaining what they are used for.

I am trying to install Openstack on 4 Dell r610 servers and am having great difficulty. The rough specs of these servers are 24 cores, 32 gigs of ram, and ~1.2 tb of harddrive space each.

I am following the exact directions found at: https://ubuntu.com/openstack/install with no deviations of any sort. (I am going the Novakvm path at the moment as Novalxd will not let me choose maas)

I have been able to successfully follow all directions up to the point of #11. All three of my Machine nodes, get to the ready state, and the deploy screen hangs on "waiting for machine". No status for any service changes, and it says waiting for machine indefinitely.

If I exit out of the install, and then try to come back and continue the install, it fails. The following is a typical error.

2019-09-23 17:39:19,268 [ERROR] conjure-up/openstack-base - common.py:60 - Error bootstrapping controller: ['Creating Juju controller "conjure-up-cloud-maas-001-5c9" on cloud-maas-001', 'Looking for packaged Juju agent version 2.6.5 for amd64', 'Launching controller instance(s) on cloud-maas-001...', 'ERROR failed to bootstrap model: cannot start bootstrap instance in availability zone "default": failed to acquire node: No available machine matches constraints: [(\'mem\', [\'3584\']), (\'agent_name\', [\'4837edeb-2b50-4b85-8d66-d3edf8ecd1eb\']), (\'zone\', [\'default\'])] (resolved to "mem=3584.0 zone=default")']

By this point, all of the nodes' status is "Ubuntu 18.04".

Note: MAAS is installed on ubuntu 16, and when the nodes reach "Ready" status they are Ubuntu 16 as well, however when deploy is done with NovaKVM Ubuntu 18 is installed. I have no idea if this is relevant information.

What on earth do I need to do to get this to work?

Edit: I have now gotten to the point where some of the services actually installed, however, it became blocked by ceph-mon which reported "Insufficient peer units to bootstrap cluster(require 3)."

I tried reinstalling everything reducing all of the "3" values to "2" and now I'm getting:

juju.errors.JujuError: ['too many units specified in unit placement for application "ceph-osd"', 'too many units specified in unit placement for application "nova-compute"', 'too many units specified in unit placement for application "ceph-mon"'] 2019-09-23 20:24:38,704 [DEBUG] conjure-up/openstack-base - init.py:27 - Showing dialog for exception: ['too many units specified in unit placement for application "ceph-osd"', 'too many units specified in unit placement for application "nova-compute"', 'too many units specified in unit placement for application "ceph-mon"']

I have a Kubernetes cluster. I want to find opportunities to contribute to scientific efforts with the compute and memory resources I have available.

I am interested in providing resources for

• math research
• cancer research
• SETI
• and more

Please advise with any recommended

• helm charts
• operators
• manifests

I am especially interested in ones that display performance information to see if the cluster is offering value to the efforts.

Thanks!

I am trying to install conjure-up to install the kubernetes on my ubuntu (16.04.1) with the command:

sudo snap install conjure-up --classic

After a few seconds, the below error is shown:

error: unable to contact snap store

I have both http_proxy and https_proxy already setup

Below is the output from snap version

snap    2.34.2
snapd   2.34.2
series  16
ubuntu  16.04
kernel  4.15.0-42-generic

I came across the similar question, Problem with snap store but the answer provided (issue with snap store try after some time) did not solve my issue.

I got conjure-up working on a single node system and I have launch 2 instances up and running and I assigned 20GB storage to this instance. If run df command inside instance it still shows my host storage volume which is a 250GB SSD. Is there way to hide it so you can't see the host storage disk inside of instance:

Basically hide /dev/sda1.
