Sardou 0.11.0

Sardou TOSCA Library

TOSCA in Swarmchestrate

This repository is home to the Swarmchestrate project documentation.

The full documentation can be seen here and this should be the first stop for anyone looking to deploy applications with Swarmchestrate. There is some usual info for developers below.

Sardou TOSCA Library

This repository also contains the source for the TOSCA Toolkit in Swarmchestrate, named Sardou. Some info for developers is available in this README.

Quickstart

Install Puccini.

wget https://github.com/Swarmchestrate/tosca/releases/download/v0.2.4/go-puccini_0.22.7-SNAPSHOT-3e85b40_linux_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i go-puccini_0.22.7-SNAPSHOT-3e85b40_linux_amd64.deb || sudo apt --fix-broken install -y

Install Sardou:

uv add sardou

Run the Sardou CLI to validate an SAT or CDT:

sardou templates/BookInfo.yaml

Setup

System Requirements

• Python 3.12
• Minimum GLIBC 2.34 (Ubuntu 22.04 or higher)

Puccini

Puccini provides a TOSCA Parser, which Swarmchestrate uses to validate templates and complete the representation graph. It must be installed before using Sardou.

Prefer the latest (currently unreleased) version. Build from source from Go-Puccini or use the prebuilts attached to this Sardou release.

[!NOTE] Rust Puccini

Puccini is being re-written in Rust. Until its release, we are using the Go version of Puccini, 0.22.x

You can install the recommended Puccini on Linux with:

wget https://github.com/Swarmchestrate/tosca/releases/download/v0.2.4/go-puccini_0.22.7-SNAPSHOT-3e85b40_linux_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i go-puccini_0.22.7-SNAPSHOT-3e85b40_linux_amd64.deb || sudo apt --fix-broken install -y

Sardou

You may then install Sardou from PyPi using uv (or pip).

# using uv
uv add Sardou

Command-line Usage

The Sardou CLI currently only performs validation. Run it against any SAT or CDT. If processed succesfully, the template is valid.

sardou templates/BookInfo.yaml

Library Usage

Import the Sardou TOSCA Library

from sardou import Sardou

Validation

To validate a TOSCA template, create a new Sardou object, passing it a file path, or the template content directly as a Python dict. This will validate the template and complete the representation, inheriting from parent types.

# Pass a file path
>>> sat = Sardou("BookInfo.yaml")
Processed successfully: BookInfo.yaml

# Pass content directly as a Python dict
>>> sat = Sardou(content="tosca_definitions_version: tosca_2_0\n...")
Processed successfully

>>> sat
{'path': PosixPath('templates/BookInfo.yaml'), 'description': 'Istio Bookinfo as a Swarmchestrate SAT', 'nodeTemplates': {'details_v1': {'metadata': {}, 'description': '', 'types': {'eu.swarmchestrate:0.1::Kubernetes.APIObject': {'description': ...

The template is not resolved at this point (i.e. statisfied requirements and created relationships) - that functionality is to come. If there are errors or warnings, they will be presented at this time.

Exploring the Template

Get the raw, uncompleted (original YAML) with the raw attribute.

>>> sat.raw
{'tosca_definitions_version': 'tosca_2_0', 'description': 'Istio Bookinfo as a Swarmchestrate SAT', 'metadata': {'name': 'bookinfo', 'author': 'you', ...

You can traverse YAML maps using dot notation if needed (which leads to some unexpected behaviour, so this may not be a long-term feature):

>>> sat.nodeTemplates
{'details_v1': {'metadata': {}, 'description': '', 'types': {'eu.swarmchestrate:0.1::Kubernetes.APIObject': {'description': 'Base type for Kubernetes API objects (persisted resources that can be created/applied on their own, e.g. Service, Deployment, ServiceAccount)...
