From December 2011 until December 2016, my professional life was driven by OpenStack Keystone development. As I’ve made an effort to diversify myself a bit since then, I’ve also had the opportunity to reflect on our approach, and perhaps see somethings I would like to do differently in the future.

While trying to launch kubevirt containers in OpenShift, I continually tripped over problems regarding authorization.
In my last post on the subject, I mentioned that I was able to use kubectl to get the same information as oc describe clusterPolicy. Here are some more details.
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.

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
oc cluster up
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.
