Last time I walked through the process of merging two sets of Kubernetest client configurations into one. For more ephemeral data, you might not want to munge it all into your main configuration. The KUBECONFIG environment variables lets you specify muiltiple configuration files and merge them into a single set of configuration data.
I have two distinct Kubernetes clusters I work with on a daily basis. One is a local vagrant bases set of VM built by the Kubevirt code base. The other is a “baremetal” install of OpenShift Origin on a pair of Fedora workstation in my office. I want to be able to switch back and forth between them.

After attending in on a helm based lab at the OpenStack summit, I decided I wanted to try it out for myself on my OpenShift cluster.

OK, since I did it wrong last time, I’m going to try creating an user in OpenShift, and grant that user permissions to do various things.Â

The word Admin is used all over the place. To administer was originally something servants did to their masters. In one of the greater inversions of linguistic history, we now use Admin as a way to indicate authority. In OpenStack, the admin role is used for almost all operations that are reserved for someone with a higher level of authority. These actions are not expected to be performed by people with the plebean Member role.
Once I got the Ansible playbook to run, I was able to poke at the openshift setup.
The install creates a default configuration in the Ansible users home directory on the master node.
While many people referred me to run one of the virtualized setups of OpenShift, I wanted something on baremetal in order to eventually test out KubeVirt. Just running

As some people suggested did not work, as it assumes prerequisites are properly set up; the docker registry was one that I tripped over. So, I decided to give openshift-ansible a test run. Here are my notes.
A quota is a numerical limit on a group of resources. Quotas have to be both recorded and enforced.
We had a session at the summit this past week about hierarchical quotas and, if I took anything away from it, it is that quotas are hard.
Keystone supports a project hierarchy. Here’s a sample one for you:
Lets say you have a RESTful Web Service. For any given URL, you might support one or more of the HTTP verbs: GET, PUT, POST, DELETE and so on. A user might wonder what they mean, and which you actually support. One way of reporting that is by using the OPTION Verb. While this is a relatively unusual verb, using it to describe a resource is a fairly well known mechanism. I want to take it one step further.
