Teuthology docker targets hack (2/4)

loic

The teuthology container hack is improved to snapshot the container after Ceph and its dependencies have been installed. It helps quickly testing ceph-qa-suite tasks. A job doing nothing but install the Firefly version of Ceph takes 14 seconds after the initial installation (which can take between 5 to 15 minutes depending on how fast is the machine and how much bandwidth is available).

The install_packages of the install.py task detects when the remote is a container:

if hasattr(remote, 'type') and remote.type == 'container':

and instead of installing the packages in parallel on all the remotes, it checks for the existence of a docker image that has the name of the branch of the Ceph packages to be installed (it should probably be the hash commit id instead):

remote.commit_name = config['branch'] if remote.image_exists():

If such an image does not exist, it installs the packages and create the image.

f = install_pkgs[system_type] f(ctx, remote, pkgs[system_type], config) remote.commit(config['branch'])

It then stops all the remotes (i.e. all the containers). When a command is send to run on the remote, it will start a docker container based on the image containing the package installed instead of the one that only contains the base operating system.

for remote in ctx.cluster.remotes.iterkeys(): remote.commit_name = config['branch'] remote.stop()

The code does not show that it starts because it happens implicitly when the first command is run.
