Create a CFS Configuration

Create a Configuration Framework Service (CFS) configuration, which contains an ordered list of layers. Each layer is defined by a Git repository clone URL, a Git commit, a name, and the path in the repository to an Ansible playbook to execute.

Prerequisites

  • The Cray command line interface (CLI) tool is initialized and configured on the system.

Procedure

  1. Create a JSON file to hold data about the CFS configuration.

    ncn# cat configurations-example.json
 {
  "layers": [
    {
      "name": "configurations-layer-example-1",
      "cloneUrl": "https://api-gw-service-nmn.local/vcs/cray/example-repo.git",
      "playbook": "site.yml",
      "commit": "<git commit id>"
    },
    {
      "name": "configurations-layer-example-2",
      "cloneUrl": "https://api-gw-service-nmn.local/vcs/cray/example-repo2.git",
      "playbook": "site.yml",
      "commit": "<git commit id>"
    },
    # { ... add more configuration layers here, if needed ... }
  ]
}

  2. Add the configuration to CFS with the JSON file.

    ncn# cray cfs configurations update configurations-example \
--file ./configurations-example.json --format json
{
  "lastUpdated": "2021-07-28T03:26:00:37Z",
  "layers": [ ... ],
  "name": "configurations-example"
}
