Using Helm Charts to Provision All-in-One Contrail with OpenStack Ocata

Note:

Starting in Contrail Release 1912.L1, Helm support is unavailable in Contrail Networking. The Helm support content in this document supports Contrail Networking Releases 1907 through 1912.

This is the installation procedure for using Helm charts to provision an all-in-one Contrail system with OpenStack Ocata. This is not a high availability configuration.

Note:

All-in-one systems are only used for testing or for demonstration purposes.

System Specifications

This procedure uses Helm to provision an OpenStack Ocata Contrail all-in-one cluster without high availability.

  • Kernel: 4.4.0-87-generic

  • Docker: 1.13.1-cs9

  • Helm: v2.7.2

  • Kubernetes: v1.8.3

  • OpenStack: Ocata

This setup was tested on a system with the following specifications:

  • CPU: 8

  • RAM: 32 GB

  • HDD: 120 GB
