Juju plugin to verify if it is safe to perform an operation on one or more units

Juju verify

This CLI tool is a Juju plugin that allows user to check whether it's safe to perform some disruptive maintenance operations on Juju units, like shutdown or reboot.

Supported charms

• nova-compute (WIP) (Usable with this nova-compute charm)
• ceph-osd (WIP)
• neutron-gateway (WIP)

Supported checks

• reboot
• shutdown

NOTE: Final list of supported checks and what they represent is still WIP

Usage example

To verify that it is safe to stop/shutdown units nova-compute/0 and nova-compute/1 without affecting the rest of the OpenStack cloud environment, run the following.

$ juju-verify shutdown --units nova-compute/0 nova-compute/1

NOTE: If you run check on multiple units at the same time, they must all run the same charm. Trying, for example, juju-verify shutdown --units nova-compute/1 ceph-osd/0 will result in error.

Alternatively, a machine can be targeted:

$ juju-verify shutdown --machines 0

How to contribute

Is your favorite charm missing from the list of supported charm? Don't hesitate to add it. This plugin is easily extensible.

All you need to do is create new class in juju_verify.verifiers package that inherits from juju_verify.verifiers.BaseVerifier (see the class documentation for more details) and implement the necessary logic.

Then, the charm name needs to be added to SUPPORTED_CHARMS dictionary in juju_verify/verifiers/__init__.py et voilà, the charm is now supported.

Don't forget to add unit and functional tests, and run:

make test

Functional tests require some applications to use a VIP. Please ensure the OS_VIP00 environment variable is set to a suitable VIP address before running functional tests.
