Hi,

I have installed salt-cloud on the salt-master and I created the provider file:

# cat /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/openstack.conf

my-openstack-config:

minion:

master: 10.211.X.Y

identity_url: http://controller/v2.0/tokens

compute_name: nova

protocol: ipv4

compute_region: RegionOne

user: admin

password: root123

tenant: admin

driver: openstack

insecure: false

I created a profile as below:

cat stack_micro.conf

stack_micro:

provider: openstack.conf

size: c1.micro

image: "051811e6-b7e0-47bd-ad1e-d87bf4a9eb32"

ssh_key_file: /home/oss/test

ssh_key_name: test

ssh_interface: private_ips

ssh_username: ubuntu

But when I try to create the instance, I am getting the error telling the cloud provider doesn't exist:

salt-cloud -m /etc/salt/cloud.maps.d/example.conf

[WARNING ] The required 'cloud' configuration setting is missing from the 'openstack' driver, which is configured under the 'my-openstack-config' alias.

[WARNING ] The cloud driver, 'openstack', configured under the 'my-openstack-config' cloud provider alias, could not be loaded. Please check your provider configuration files and ensure all required dependencies are installed for the 'openstack' driver.

In rare cases, this could indicate the 'openstack.get_configured_provider()' function could not be found.

Removing 'openstack' from the available providers list

[ERROR ] The required profile, 'stack_micro', defined in the map does not exist. The defined nodes, 'web1.example.com', will not be created.

Found the following errors:

stack_micro: The required profile, 'stack_micro', defined in the map does not exist. The defined nodes, 'web1.example.com', will not be created.

Can someone please point out if I am missing something in the configuration file.

Thank you.

Which version of salt are you running?

If you are using 2017.7, you will need to install apache-libcloud

If you are using 2018.3, that configuration file won't work and you need to install shade.

I am using the 2018 version and I did install shade. But it didn't seem to work :(

One of the problems I see is that you reference the provider in stack_micro.conf as

provider: openstack.conf

It should however point to the name of the provider definition (my-openstack-config). So:

provider: my-openstack-config

Furthermore it looks you use the configuration examples from the 2017 version and not the 2018 version (which can be found at https://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/topics/cloud/openstack.html).

Hopefully this helps you in the right direction.

Kind regards,

Jeroen.

Thank you for the reply. I guess that's right. I do have a doubt though. In the version 2017 of Salt, the file was saved and run as:

# salt-coud -m profile.conf

But does the command hold good for the version 2018 too? I saved the profile in my salt-master, both the provider and profile, tried running it but received back:

I got it working! I'm able to establish a connection between my salt-master and OpenStack. It seemed that I had misplaced the files.
