emulator-strawman

(c) 2015 by Manuel Peuster

emu-vim

Requirements

  • needs the latest Dockernet to be installed in the system
  • the wrapper uses standard Python imports to use the Dockernet modules
  • Uses ZeroMQ based RPC to open a cloud-like interface that can be used by a demo CLI client
  • pip install import zerorpc
  • This will be replaced / extended by a REST API later

Project structure

  • emuvim/ all emulator code
  • api/ Data center API endpoint implementations (zerorpc, OpenStack REST, ...)
  • cli/ CLI client to interact with a running emulator
  • dcemulator/ Dockernet wrapper that introduces the notion of data centers and API endpoints
  • test/ Unit tests
  • example_topology.py An example topology script to show how topologies can be specified

Installation

Automatic installation is provide through an Ansible playbook.

  • Requires: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
  • sudo apt-get install ansible git
  • sudo vim /etc/ansible/hosts
  • Add: localhost ansible_connection=local

1. Dockernet

  • git clone https://github.com/mpeuster/dockernet.git
  • cd dockernet/ansible
  • sudo ansible-playbook install.yml
  • Wait (and have a coffee) ...

2. Emulator

  • cd
  • git clone https://github.com/mpeuster/emulator-strawman.git
  • cd emulator-strawman/ansible
  • sudo ansible-playbook install.yml

Run

  • First terminal:
  • cd emulator-strawman/emuvim
  • sudo python example_topology.py
  • Second terminal:
  • cd emulator-strawman/emuvim/cli
  • ./son-emu-cli compute start -d dc1 -n vnf1
  • ./son-emu-cli compute start -d dc1 -n vnf2
  • ./son-emu-cli compute list
  • First terminal:
  • dockernet> vnf1 ping -c 2 vnf2

TODO

  • DCemulator
  • ...
  • Write unit tests
  • Add resource constraints to datacenters
  • Check if we can use the Mininet GUI to visualize our DCs?

Features / Done

  • Define a topology (Python script)
  • Add data centers
  • Add switches and links between the,
  • Define API endpoints in topology
  • call startAPI from topology definition and start it in a own thread
  • make it possible to start different API endpoints for different DCs
  • DCemulator
  • correctly start and connect new compute resources at runtime
  • remove and disconnect compute resources at runtime
  • do IP management for new containers
  • list active compute resources
  • Cloud-like reference API with CLI for demonstrations
  • Write CLI client
  • Start compute
  • Stop compute
  • Create an Ansible-based automatic installation routine
