boshua

For providing, using, and inspecting artifacts of BOSH.

bosh unofficial artifacts

Goals

  • provide consistent ways to generate and store metadata about releases, compilations, and stemcells
  • support private and public configurations with access to different sets of resources
  • deprecate one-off, duplicated scripts which have historically implemented these processes
  • allow compiled releases to be dynamically discovered and avoid hard-coding references
  • support just-in-time release compilations, shared across environments
  • focus on CLI and API extensibility to enable this as a building block
  • support both local and remote execution of any commands

Core Concepts

First, let's define some of the terminology this uses...

  • Artifact - an artifact represents something of interest and generally refers to a permanent blob of data somewhere (e.g. a BOSH release tarball stored on Amazon S3). Artifacts are usually identified by a couple pieces of canonical information (e.g. name, version, URI, checksum). There are several primary types of artifacts, each represented by a top-level CLI command or API endpoint.
    • Stemcell - a particular version of a BOSH stemcell for a given IaaS
    • Release - a particular version of a BOSH release
      • Compilation - a particular version of a BOSH release that has been compiled against a particular stemcell or OS and version
    • Labels - used to label artifacts for logical categorization. For hierarchical taxonomies, path-style values with forward slashes can be used. Some standardized label conventions are...
      • repo/* - to identify the source of the release; e.g. repo/github.com/dpb587/openvpn-bosh-release
      • stability/(alpha|beta|rc|stable) - identify stability of artifacts
      • tag/* - general, tag-based navigation; e.g. tag/cpi, tag/networking
      • deprecated - to identify artifacts which are deprecated
  • Analysis - an artifact is independently useful, but there is often much more information which can be derived from it (e.g. what OS packages are included in a particular stemcell version). Analysis results are generated metadata which is affiliated with a particular artifact.
    • Analyzer - analyzers are used to generate specific types of metadata about an artifact. Each artifact type has several builtin analyzers.
    • Formatters - formatters are tools for interpreting the raw results and providing them in a more meaningful way. Most analyzers have several builtin formatters.
  • Datastore - a datastore is something which can find and/or store details about artifacts and analysis in a permanent way (e.g. a BOSH release repository having release information). Each artifact type has several supported datastores, and datastores can delegate to other, possibly remote datastores (e.g. through APIs).
  • Scheduler - a scheduler is used for executing work when results are not already available (e.g. compiling a release). Several types of schedulers are supported to support running work locally or in Docker, remotely on Concourse, or remotely through an API.
  • Provider - a specific implementation of a datastore or scheduler. Providers are configured through the config file and their provider-specific options.

Usage

CLI/API remains in beta and subject to change.

CLI

The primary tool is the boshua CLI. Generally, -h should be used to learn more about specific commands and available options.

The first level of commands are primarily geared towards specific artifacts (e.g. release, stemcell)...

$ boshua -h
Available commands:
  release     For working with releases
  stemcell    For working with stemcells

When working with a specific artifact type, several flags can be used for finding specific versions of the artifact...

$ boshua release -h
[release command options]
      --release=          The release in name/version format
      --release-name=     The release name
      --release-version=  The release version
      --release-checksum= The release checksum
      --release-url=      The release source URL
      --release-label=    The label(s) to filter releases by

Further subcommands can be used which deal with a specific artifact type...

$ boshua release --release=openvpn/5.1.0 -h
Available commands:
  analysis        For analyzing the release artifact
  analyzers       For showing the supported analyzers
  artifact        For showing the release artifact
  compilation     For working with compiled releases
  datastore       For interacting with release datastores
  download        For downloading the release locally
  upload-release  For uploading the release to BOSH

Most notably, these subcommands are common across most artifacts: analysis, analyzers, artifact, datastore, and download.

The analysis subcommands have some shared usage as well...

$ boshua release --release=openvpn/5.1.0 analysis -h
[analysis command options]
      --analyzer=         The analyzer name

Available commands:
  artifact       For showing the analysis artifact
  download       For downloading the analysis locally
  results        For showing the results of an analysis

For more specific examples, see below.

Deployment Manifests

Convert a manifest referencing release sources to compiled releases...

$ bosh deploy <( boshua deployment use-compiled-releases < manifest.yml )
  - name: openvpn
    version: 5.1.0
-   sha1: b42eb85e5f074c26b065956cc9b8a6d69208f8a0
+   sha1: sha512:ea3c1185076d52b87064951e91dd8885ca62f045dd4e1a17305e6a90a1901cb8d89ea097773e232bdbca2455be746672ea7be93371915597c574cb6933b7c13b
-   url: https://s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/dpb587-bosh-release-openvpn-us-east-1/artifacts/release/b42eb85e5f074c26b065956cc9b8a6d69208f8a0
+   url: https://s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/dpb587-test-20140414a-us-east-1/compiled-release/2f/474fe4787338086f4e0cb34207c3f687dabe16
+   stemcell:
+     os: ubuntu-trusty
+     version: '3586.27'

Some caveats for automatically converting manifests...

  • explicit versions must be used for releases and stemcells (not latest or x.latest)
  • releases should specify canonical properties (e.g. absolute URLs or tarball checksums)
  • manifests with multiple stemcells are not supported

By default, if a compilation is not already available and it can be scheduled, this command will queue and block until the shared compilation artifact becomes available.

Analysis

There are several built-in analyzers which can also be used directly, although they are typically used indirectly when using the analysis subcommands of specific artifact types (results from using these generic commands are not stored). Analysis results are JSON streams of objects.

Generate a raw analysis with the generate subcommand...

$ boshua analysis generate --analyzer=releasemanifests.v1 openvpn-4.2.1.tgz | jq -c keys | head -n1
["parsed","path","raw"]

The formatter subcommand provides direct access to built-in formatters which can parse analysis results into more meaningful output...

$ boshua analysis formatter stemcellimagefiles.v1 -h
Available commands:
  ls         Show an ls-style list of files
  sha1sum    Show sha1 checksums (aliases: shasum)
  sha256sum  Show sha256 checksums
  sha512sum  Show sha512 checksums

Pass the results of a previous analysis via STDIN to use it...

$ boshua analysis formatter releasemanifests.v1 properties --job=openvpn < releasemanifests.v1.jsonl

The previous command is equivalent to the following examples due to how the results subcommand of individual artifacts works...

$ boshua release --release=openvpn/5.1.0 analysis --analyzer=releasemanifests.v1 results -- properties --job=openvpn
$ boshua release --release=openvpn/5.1.0 analysis --analyzer=releasemanifests.v1 results --raw | boshua analysis formatter releasemanifests.v1 properties --job=openvpn
Analyzers

The following default analyzers are included...

  • releaseartifactfiles.v1 - extract file stats and checksums from a release tarball and its embedded tarballs
  • releasemanifests.v1 - extract release.MF and job spec data from a release tarball
  • stemcellimagefiles.v1 - extract file stats and checksums from the embedded image of a stemcell tarball
  • stemcellmanifest.v1 - extract stemcell.MF data from a stemcell tarball
  • stemcellpackages.v1 - extract and parse packages.txt data from a stemcell tarball
Server

The CLI provides an HTTP server to allow remote querying and execution of commands. By default, it will listen on 127.0.0.1:4508.

$ boshua server
CLI Downloads

The /cli/ endpoint can be used for providing binaries for download.

Web UI

The /ui/ endpoint can be used for hosting simple HTML pages which may use the API.

GraphQL API

The /api/v2/graphql endpoint provides a GraphQL API with query and mutation support.

Query: release

Get information about a release...

{
  release(name: String, version: String, url: String, checksum: String, labels: [String]) {
    name
    version
    labels

    tarball { #artifact }

    compilation(os: String, version: String) {
      tarball { #artifact }
      analysis { #analysis }
    }

    analysis {
      results(analyzers: [String]) {
        analyzer
        artifact { #artifact }
      }
    }
  }
}
Query: stemcell

Get information about a stemcell...

{
  stemcell(iaas: String, hypervisor: String, os: String, version: String, diskFormat: String, flavor: String, labels: [String]) {
    iaas
    hypervisor
    os
    flavor
    diskFormat
    version

    tarball { #artifact }
    analysis { #analysis }
  }
}
Mutation: scheduleCompilation

Schedule compilation for a release...

mutation {
  scheduleReleaseCompilation(name: String, version: String, url: String, checksum: String, osName: String, osVersion: String) {
    status
  }
}
Mutation: scheduleStemcellAnalysis

Schedule analysis of a stemcell...

mutation {
  scheduleStemcellAnalysis( #stemcellParams, analyzer: String) {
    status
  }
}
Mutation: scheduleReleaseAnalysis

Schedule analysis of a stemcell...

mutation {
  scheduleReleaseAnalysis( #releaseParams, analyzer: String) {
    status
  }
}
Mutation: scheduleReleaseCompilationAnalysis

Schedule analysis of a stemcell...

mutation {
  scheduleReleaseAnalysis( #releaseParams, #releaseCompilationParams, analyzer: String) {
    status
  }
}
Library

Library usage is not yet trivial. See some of the examples in the main packages for now.

Configuration

The default configuration lives in ~/.config/boshua/config.yml - a YAML file describing the various datastores that boshua can reference. See the partial documentation in config/config.go or examples in doc/config/examples.

When a remote server is available, $BOSHUA_SERVER or --default-server may be used to automatically configure remote lookups and avoid the need for a configuration file. When building boshua, a default server can be embedded with link options and the main.defaultServer variable.

Extra Tools

stemcellpackagediff

The stemcellpackagediff is a standalone CLI which uses the stemcellpackages.v1 analyzer to compare packages between two versions of a stemcell.

This project is the amalgamation of several former, smaller projects; but now focused on CLI+API, public+private deployability, and dynamic execution.

  • bosh-stemcell-metadata-scripts - repository of scripts for extracting package lists, filesystem details, and metadata from stemcells
  • bosh-stemcell-metadata - repository of pre-computed results from bosh-stemcell-metadata-scripts for specific stemcell lines
  • bosh-release-compiler - simple repository of tasks for compiling releases with concourse
  • bosh-compiled-releases - repository for tracking compiled releases from shared environments or imported from external sources, and CLI for rewriting deployment manifests to use them
