Designate formula

Designate provides DNSaaS services for OpenStack.

Sample pillars
==============

For Designate with BIND9 local backend:

.. code:: yaml

    designate:
      server:
        enabled: true
        region: RegionOne
        domain_id: 5186883b-91fb-4891-bd49-e6769234a8fc
        version: ocata
        backend:
          bind9:
            rndc_key: 4pc+X4PDqb2q+5o72dISm72LM1Ds9X2EYZjqg+nmsS7FhdTwzFFY8l/iEDmHxnyjkA33EQC8H+z0fLLBunoitw==
            rndc_algorithm: hmac-sha512
        api:
          base_uri: 'http://127.0.0.1:9001'
        admin_api:
          enabled: true
          enabled_extensions_admin: quotas
        bind:
          api:
            address: 127.0.0.1
        database:
          engine: mysql
          host: 127.0.0.1
          port: 3306
          name:
            main_database: designate
            pool_manager: designate_pool_manager
          user: designate
          password: passw0rd
        identity:
          engine: keystone
          host: 127.0.0.1
          port: 35357
          tenant: service
          user: designate
          password: passw0rd
        mdns:
          address: 0.0.0.0
          port: 5354
        message_queue:
          engine: rabbitmq
          members:
          - host: 127.0.0.1
          user: openstack
          password: password
          virtual_host: '/openstack'
        pools:
          default:
            description: 'default pool'
            attributes:
              service_tier: GOLD
            ns_records:
              - hostname: 'ns1.example.org.'
                priority: 10
            nameservers:
              - host: 127.0.0.1
                port: 53
            targets:
              default_target:
                type: bind9
                description: 'default target'
                masters:
                  - host: 127.0.0.1
                    port: 5354
                options:
                  host: 127.0.0.1
                  port: 53
                  rndc_host: 127.0.0.1
                  rndc_port: 953
                  rndc_key_file: /etc/designate/rndc.key
        quota:
          zones: 40
      worker:
        enabled: true
.. note::
   *domain_id* parameter is UUID of DNS zone managed by designate-sink service. This zone will
   be populated by A records for fixed and floating ip addresses of spawned VMs. After designate
   is deployed and zone is created, this parameter should be updated accordingly to UUID of
   newly created zone. Then designate state should be reapplied.

.. note::
   *server:api:base_uri* allows to set URL which is returned in designate-api responses, it is
   useful in cases when, designate-api is deployed under proxy server. If not overriden in reclass,
   it defaults to http://*server:bind:api:address*:9001/.

.. note::
   *server:mdns:address* and *server:mdns:port* options allow to change MDNS listening address and
   port. Changes to server:pools:*:targets will be also required if the MDNS's address and port are
   being used there.

.. note::
   *worker:enabled* sets worker role and installs designate-worker and designate-producer packages
   which services will push changes to backend DNS servers.
   *pool_manager:enabled* should be a default role for older releases of OpenStack, older than
   Newton in which designate-worker and designate-producer were represented.
   In releases starting from Newton, only Designate pool manager service still allows live syncs
   with Power DNS server for now.

.. note::
   *server:quota:zones* allows to set default value for zones quota for all projects and users.
   In case with Designate tempest plugin (0.2.0) zones quota should be increased to 40, so all
   tests can pass.

Pools pillar for BIND9 master and multiple slaves setup:

.. code:: yaml
