 Hello dear Heat Developers,
  
 I am Casper Liu from Alcatel-Lucent. I am doing a project based on
 *Heat(Icehouse)*, and have questions about Heat SoftwareConfig and
 SoftwareDevelopment resources.

 Your reply would be highly appreciated!
 We really anticipate your support and help.
  
 The key point of our project is to execute*heat stack-update *to
 update*a stack with a number of VMs*, and this heat stack-update
 will trigger a specified script to be executed on a specified VM
 instance(this VM already has the specified script) of the stack, and
 there should be no reboot/rebuild of any VM of the stack. If possible
 we would like to use SoftwareConfig to do this, for it is modularized
 and easy to manage, but cfn tool should also be OK.


 Takeour projectas example, we have one stack which has 4 VMs (we can
 name them as VM1, VM2, VM3 and VM4), there is an need to let Heat
 template to execute one script(we have coded this Python script.) on
 VM1 when I execute heat stack-update -f my_stack_template_file -p
 my_param_list each time.
 VM1 can be associated with SoftwareConfig and SoftwareDevelopment
 resources.
 VM1 can NOT be rebooted or rebuilt during execution of heat
 stack-update.
  
 My question is:

  

 (1) Could you advise a solution based on Heat for our project scenario?

Assuming you want to configure with shell scripts then this example
would be closest to what you require
http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/heat-templates/tree/hot/software-config/example-templates/example-script-template.yaml

 (2) If a SoftwareDevelopment is set as UPDATE in actions field of
 template and associated with VM1 and SoftwareConfig and when heat
 stack-update happens, can the VM1 execute SoftwareConfig without reboot?

Yes, although default is to run on CREATE and UPDATE, which may be what
you need anyway.

Please note that the script is only triggered if something has actually
changed in the configuration since the previous update. We plan to
include the API request-id as a derived input value, which will
guarantee retriggering on UPDATE regardless of whether anything has
changed. In the meantime you might want to specify a unique value in the
deployment input_values from a param passed in to stack-update. This
will ensure re-triggering on every update

 (3) If SoftwareConfig can be execute successfully for VM1, then what
 packages/tools should be installed in VM instance?
 Such as hook-script.py (
 http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/heat-templates/tree/hot/software-config/elements/heat-config-script/install.d/hook-script.py(http://git.openstack.org/cgit/opensta...)
 ), is this a must for SoftwareDevelopment?

You can build an image with the recommended toolchain with these
instructions:
http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/heat-templates/tree/hot/software-config/elements/README.rst

Please note that you'll need to wait for this fix to be included in a
released os-collect-config before the image will work for heat
software-config:
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/91733/4

 (4) Is my software version(icehouse) proper to support
 SoftwareDevelopment and SoftwareConfig?

Yes, although keep an eye out for activity in
http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/heat-templates/tree/hot/software-config
for changes which require a new image to be built.

Also I expect there will be some backports to icehouse for some issues,
so please keep up to date with the latest icehouse release.

 os-collect-config os-refresh-config os-apply-config/

I've not tested an ubuntu image recently, if you wanted to eliminate
this as an option then you could try the fedora instructions verbatim,
however see below.
 Secondly, I use this example
 https://github.com/openstack/heat-templates/blob/master/hot/software-config/example-templates/example-puppet-template.yaml
  to
 try it out. Everything is OK but the resource of SoftwareDeployment.
 The state of SoftwareDeployment is always IN_PROGRESS. I login to the
 vm, I check something as follows:

 1. Checking the /var/lib/heat-config, hook-puppet is installed.

 /root@puppet-demo:/var/lib/heat-config# tree/
 /./
 /??? hooks/
 /??? cfn-init/
 /??? puppet/
 /??? script/
  
 2. Checking the WORKING_DIR(/var/lib/heat-config/heat-config-puppet)
 of hook-puppet. The WORKING_DIR is not created yet. No any .pp files
 in the directory.

 3. Checking the status of os-collect-config, it is running. But there
 are some warrning in the /var/log/upstart/os-collect-config.log.

 4. Checking /var/lib/os-collect-config

 /root@puppet-demo:/var/lib/os-collect-config# ls/
 /ec2.json  ec2.json.last  ec2.json.orig  heat_local.json

 / }, /

 5. Checking the connection between vm and heat-api-cfn server. It's OK.

 After checking above things, I still can't to handle thie problem.
 There are something I need to understand:

 1. Where to store the puppet file and inputs, after the heat-engine
 precessing the template?
 2. Which meatadata server(heat_local, ec2 or heat-api-cfn) the
 os-collect-config will fetching to get the SoftwareDeployment meatadata?
 3. Is there any chapter to introduce the whole process of
 SoftwareDeployment in detial?

You're possibly being hit by this bug:
https://launchpad.net/bugs/1299109

Which is fixed by:
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/91733/4

When an os-collect-config is released with this fix I'll let you know
and you can build a new image and try again.

Over time we'll have docs on how to diagnose these issues, but some
hints for this particular part of the toolchain would be to run the
following commands until a response yields an error which gives an
indication of where your issue might be:
  os-collect-config --one-time
  os-refresh-config
  os-apply-config

Clint might be able to provide some further advice for debugging
os-*-config toolchain issues

 Hi, Thomas: 

 Thanks for your information and your plan is very appreciated! 

 But what I mean is, are there already some available images and 
 corresponding templates for beginners to use directly, it's better if 
 there are some docs under the hood. 

There are currently no downloadable images, so you'll need to build your
own with these instructions:
https://github.com/openstack/heat-templates/tree/master/hot/software-config/elements

I don't want to speculate on this too much, but it is possible that
downloadable images will be available in the future as a by-product of a
successful CI test passing.

 Icehouse version should be okay. You may want to check the readme files
 and the sample templates.  In general, you need hooks specific to your
 configuration tool (shell script in this case) installed in your VM.

 Heat(Icehouse), and have questions about Heat SoftwareConfig and 
 SoftwareDevelopment resources.
 
 Your reply would be highly appreciated!
 We really anticipate your support and help.
 
 The key point of our project is to execute “heat stack-update” to update a 
 stack with a number of VMs, and this “heat stack-update” will trigger a 
 specified script to be executed on a specified VM instance(this VM already 
 has the specified script) of the stack, and there should be no reboot/rebuild 
 of any VM of the stack. If possible we would like to use SoftwareConfig to do 
 this, for it is modularized and easy to manage, but cfn tool should also be 
 OK.
 

I don't think heat stack-update is the real reason behind the VM reboot.
If you want a script executed when a stack is updated, you can use
SoftwareConfig and SoftwareDeployment resources.

 Take our project as example, we have one stack which has 4 VMs (we can name 
 them as VM1, VM2, VM3 and VM4), there is an need to let Heat template to 
 execute one script(we have coded this Python script.) on VM1 when I execute 
 heat stack-update -f my_stack_template_file -p my_param_list each time.
 VM1 can be associated with SoftwareConfig and SoftwareDevelopment resources.
 VM1 can NOT be rebooted or rebuilt during execution of heat stack-update.

I'm confused ... do you want the VM rebooted or not?
 
 My question is:
 
 (1) Could you advise a solution based on Heat for our project scenario?
 (2) If a SoftwareDevelopment is set as UPDATE in “actions” field of 
 template and associated with VM1 and SoftwareConfig and when heat 
 stack-update happens, can the VM1 execute SoftwareConfig without reboot?
 (3) If SoftwareConfig can be execute successfully for VM1, then what 
 packages/tools should be installed in VM instance?
 Such as hook-script.py ( 
 http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/heat-templates/tree/hot/software-config/elements/heat-config-script/install.d/hook-script.py
  (http://git.openstack.org/cgit/opensta...) ), is this a must for 
 SoftwareDevelopment?
 (4) Is my software version(icehouse) proper to support SoftwareDevelopment 
 and SoftwareConfig?

Icehouse version should be okay. You may want to check the readme files
and the sample templates.  In general, you need hooks specific to your
configuration tool (shell script in this case) installed in your VM.

 Below is the version of my Openstack pakages:
 
 root@heatorch:~# pip freeze
 ... heat==2014.1.dev58.g5896354
