Ceph Object Gateway Temp URL support

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ironic/+bug/1526395

This adds support of Ceph Object Gateway (RADOS Gateway) temporary URL format.

Problem description

Ceph project is a powerful distributed storage system. It contains object store with OpenStack Swift compatible API. Glance image service can use Ceph storage via RADOS Gateway Swift API. Ironic does not currently support deploy configuration with Glance and RADOS Gateway. The reason is different format of temporary URL. First part of temporary URL for RADOS Gateway with Glance frontend is “endpoint_url/api_version/container/object_id”, where

  • “endpoint_url” contains scheme, hostname, optional port and mandatory “/swift” suffix.

  • “api_version” is “v1” currently.

  • “container” is the name of Glance container.

  • “object_id” is Glance object id.

Calculation of parameters “temp_url_sig” and “temp_url_expires” is mostly the same as in Swift, so full URL looks like

“https://radosgw.my.host/swift/v1/glance/22aee8e5-cba3-4554-92c4aadde5e38f28? temp_url_sig=e75d1d6facb53d795547b1fc60eca4e8836bd503 &temp_url_expires=1443518434”

“temp_url_sig” calculation should not use “/swift” in the path.

OpenStack Swift temporary URL contains extra account parameter, it’s account that Glance uses to communicate with Swift. “swift_account” parameter is mandatory for Ironic.

Note

Do not use Python code as reference from http://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/radosgw/swift/tempurl/ it does not create valid URL’s, for Firefly release at least.

Proposed change

A new configuration parameter temp_url_endpoint_type will be added to the glance group. It can be set to values “swift” or “radosgw”, “swift” is default. Code of image service in Ironic will be changed for supporting both of endpoints (parameters set, mandatory suffix for RADOS Gateway).
