(e.g. X-Mas) for which they have a 4 member project team in place and will be
running their promotion application. Task: a) Create a new Tenant named
"promotion" with description as "peak seasons promotion project". B) Create a
role named "devops" c) Create users (Mike, John, Don and Pat) within the tenant
named Promotion and assign devops role to them. Password for each user will be
"temppass"
Ans:
1. Source creds
2. Openstack project list Check existing projects
3. Openstack project create --description "peak seasons promotion project"
promotion
4. openstack role create devops
5. Openstack user create --project promotion --password temppass mike
6. Openstack role add --project promotion user mike --user don --user pat --
user john devops
7. Openstack role list --user mike --project promotion
8. Login on Horizon with mike/temppass to confirm

2. Project "promotion" requires spinning up Database systems (ExcellentDB) which has low
CPU usage but needs 4GB RAM. Task: Create a new flavor (eDB.mini) with 1 vCPU + 4 GB
RAM + 10 GB Disk. Allow access to project promotion.
Ans:
i. Openstack flavor list to check if the flavor exists
ii. openstack flavor create --ram 4096 --disk 10 --vcpus 1 --private eDB.mini
iii. openstack flavor list --private
iv. nova flavor-access-add eDB.mini promotion
v. Login into promotion tenant and check if the new flavor is visible
vi. Add eDB.mini to public flavor repository
1. [root@centos7-rdo-liberty06022017-105702 ~]# openstack flavor
create --ram 4096 --disk 10 --vcpus 1 --public eDB.mini
Flavor with name eDB.mini already exists. (HTTP 409) (Request-ID:
req-e71cd1ab-3c22-4446-be33-c7ca14de87b8)
ii. Same name of flavor cannot exist. So,
openstack flavor create --ram 4096 --disk 10 --vcpus 1 --public
eDB1.mini

vii. nova flavor-access-remove eDB.mini promotion (towards the end)

3. Task: Spin-up 3 DB instance of eDB.mini flavor
Ans:
i. Openstack image list (check if cirros image exists)
ii. If no image, download cirros. glance image-create --name "new-cirros" --file
cirros-0.3.4-x86_64-disk.img --disk-format qcow2 --container-format bare --
visibility public --progress
iii. nova boot --flavor eDB1.mini --image new-cirros cirros-instance001
iv. Nova list
iv. Task: The architect of "promotion" team indicates that we need to change the flavor of
existing instances (cirros-instance001 to cirros-instance003) from eDB.mini to
m1.medium
 Ans: nova resize cirros-instance001 m1.medium

5. Task: End of season, we delete all the instances

Ans: nova delete cirros-instance001 # run nova list to check if the instances are
deleted

6. Block storage
a. One of the DB instances in Promotion tenant running Database needs to take local
backup. Task: Add a 20 GB Block or Object Storage to instance

7. Task: Mike has downloaded the Trusty image from the internet. Task: Create a glance
image from recently downloaded Ubuntu image
# glance image-create --name Ubuntu1504 --file trusty-servercloudimg-amd64-
disk1.img --disk-format qcow2 --container-format bare --visibility public --progress

8. Mike, the Promotion Dev-Ops engineer wrongly named the glance image as
Ubuntu1504 instead of Ubuntu1404
Task: Change the name of the glance image
root@ubuntu:~# glance image-update 880473d7-c947-4849-b2ee-dd8196cc48cf --
property name="new cirros"
