Add a New OS Bundle to Taikun OCP Baremetal
Adding an OS Bundle OS Bundles are collections of operating system installation files, checksums, kickstart/preseed/cloud-init files, and metadata that allow Taikun OCP Baremetal to provision servers with a specific operation system. This tutorial walks through how to add a new operating system into Taikun OCP Baremetal so it can be used to provision servers within […]
Create and Manage Node Pools in Taikun OCP Baremetal
Pool Management To work with Pools in Taikun OCP Baremetal, a few facts need to be understood: By default, Taikun OCP Baremetal come with a Default Pool and a Default group. Users that are members of the Default group have access to all Nodes in the Default Pool. On small Taikun OCP Baremetal installs with only a single active user, the Default Group and the Default Pool can be used for […]
Installing Taikun OCP Baremetal
System Requirements Taikun OCP Baremetal is best installed on a fresh operating system. Debian (Ubuntu, Mint, etc.) and Fedora (RedHat, CentOS, Alma, Rocky, etc) distros have been tested. Taikun OCP Baremetal can also be installed on top of Kubernetes in TaikunCloudWorks. Other operating systems are supported but they have not yet been tested. If you […]
Taikun OCP Baremetal Overview
Taikun OCP is based on OpenStack (certified etc.) and Taikun OCP BareMetal Addon is based on Mojo. Taikun.cloud is developing Taikun OCP Baremetal. Taikun OCP Mojo uses our own code, open source code and Metify Mojo code as OEM.Code is built from our repositories, and we release and supply the final product. What is Taikun […]
Middleware Audit
The Keystone middleware library provides an optional WSGI middleware filter which allows the ability to audit API requests for each component of OpenStack. The audit middleware filter utilises environment variables to build the CADF event. The figure above shows the middleware in Nova’s pipeline. Enabling audit middleware To enable auditing, oslo.messaging should be installed. If not, the […]
Hypervisors
Kernel Virtual Machine KVM (for Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for Linux on x86 hardware containing virtualization extensions (Intel VT or AMD-V). It consists of a loadable kernel module, kvm.ko, that provides the core virtualization infrastructure and a processor specific module, kvm-intel.ko or kvm-amd.ko. Using KVM, one can run multiple virtual machines […]
Automatic Migration of VMs Upon Failure of Host
Taikun Open Cloud Platform includes an Automatic Migration feature, designed to safeguard your Virtual Machines (VMs) in the event of a host failure. This article provides insights into how this feature, seamlessly integrated into our customized Taikun OCP deployment, guarantees business continuity and minimizes downtime. Key Features: How It Works:
Block Devices
You can attach Ceph Block Device images to OpenStack instances through libvirt, which configures the QEMU interface to librbd. Ceph stripes block volumes across multiple OSDs within the cluster, which means that large volumes can realize better performance than local drives on a standalone server! To use Ceph Block Devices with OpenStack, you must install QEMU, libvirt, and […]
Ceph Integration with Keystone
It is possible to integrate the Ceph Object Gateway with Keystone, the OpenStack identity service. This sets up the gateway to accept Keystone as the users authority. A user that Keystone authorizes to access the gateway will also be automatically created on the Ceph Object Gateway (if didn’t exist beforehand). A token that Keystone validates […]
