bosh-softlayer-cpi

An external BOSH CPI (cloud provider interface) for the SoftLayer cloud and its API

Getting Started (*)

TBD

Overview Presentations (*)

1. CF Summit 05/12/2015: bosh-init - which also includes some details around BOSH external CPIs (motivation and goals)

Cloning and Building

Clone this repo and build it. Using the following commands on a Linux or Mac OS X system:

$ git clone https://github.com/cloudfoundry/bosh-softlayer-cpi.git
$ cd bosh-softlayer-cpi
$ direnv allow # or source .envrc to set GOPATH
$ cd src/bosh-softlayer-cpi
$ ./bin/build
$ ./bin/test-unit
$ export SL_USERNAME=your-username@your-org.com
$ export SL_API_KEY=your-softlayer-api-key
$ ./bin/test-integration

NOTE: if you get any dependency errors, then use go get path/to/dependency to get it, e.g., go get github.com/onsi/ginkgo/ginkgo and go get github.com/onsi/gomega

The executable output should now be located in: out/cpi. You will need to package this into a BOSH release. The easiest way is to use the bosh-softlayer-cpi-release project.

Running Tests

The SoftLayer (SL) CPI and associated tests and binary distribution depend on you having a real SL account. Get one for free for one month here. From your SL account you can get an API key. Using your account name and API key you will need to set two environment variables: SL_USERNAME and SL_API_KEY. You can do so as follows:

$ export SL_USERNAME=your-username@your-org.com
$ export SL_API_KEY=your-softlayer-api-key

You should run the tests to make sure all is well, do this with: $ ./bin/test-unit and $ ./bin/test-integration in your cloned repository. Please note that the $ ./bin/test-integration will spin up real SoftLayer virtual guests (VMs) and associated resources and will also delete them. This integration test may take up to 30 minutes (usually shorter)

The output should of $ ./bin/test-unit be similar to:

$ ./bin/build
$ ./bin/test-unit

SWEET SUITE SUCCESS

Developing

1. Check for existing stories on our public Tracker
2. Select an unstarted story and work on code for it
3. If the story you want to work on is not there then open an issue and ask for a new story to be created
4. Run go get golang.org/x/tools/cmd/vet
5. Run go get github.com/xxx ... to install test dependencies (as you see errors)
6. Write a Ginkgo test.
7. Run bin/test and watch the test fail.
8. Make the test pass.
9. Submit a pull request.

Managing dependencies

Dependencies are managed via govendor. See vendor.json for the current dependencies.

Current conventions

• Basic Go conventions
• Strict TDD for any code added or changed
• Go fakes when needing to mock objects

Credit

The base code was inpired by cppforlife's BOSH Warden CPI's example external Go-language CPI.

NOTE: This is still work in progress. No guarantees are implied that this will be usable nor finish. Consider this code as prototype code.
