How bootstrap-vz works
|

----------------------
|

||||||
|
Tasks
|
||||||
|
~~~~~
|
||||||
|
At its core bootstrap-vz is based on tasks that perform units of work.
|
||||||
|
By keeping those tasks small and with a solid structure built around
|
||||||
|
them a high degree of flexibility can be achieved. To ensure that
|
||||||
|
tasks are executed in the right order, each task is placed in a
|
||||||
|
dependency graph where directed edges dictate precedence. Each task is
|
||||||
|
a simple class that defines its predecessor tasks and successor tasks
|
||||||
|
via attributes. Here is an example:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
::
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
class MapPartitions(Task):
|
||||||
|
description = 'Mapping volume partitions'
|
||||||
|
phase = phases.volume_preparation
|
||||||
|
predecessors = [PartitionVolume]
|
||||||
|
successors = [filesystem.Format]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
@classmethod
|
||||||
|
def run(cls, info):
|
||||||
|
info.volume.partition_map.map(info.volume)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In this case the attributes define that the task at hand should run
|
||||||
|
after the ``PartitionVolume`` task — i.e. after volume has been
|
||||||
|
partitioned (``predecessors``) — but before formatting each
|
||||||
|
partition (``successors``).
|
||||||
|
It is also placed in the ``volume_preparation`` phase.
|
||||||
|
Phases are ordered and group tasks together. All tasks in a phase are
|
||||||
|
run before proceeding with the tasks in the next phase. They are a way
|
||||||
|
of avoiding the need to list 50 different tasks as predecessors and
|
||||||
|
successors.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The final task list that will be executed is computed by enumerating
|
||||||
|
all tasks in the package, placing them in the graph and
|
||||||
|
`sorting them topologically <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topological_sort>`_.
|
||||||
|
Subsequently the list returned is filtered to contain only the tasks the
|
||||||
|
provider and the plugins added to the taskset.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
System abstractions
|
||||||
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||||
|
There are several abstractions in bootstrap-vz that make it possible
|
||||||
|
to generalize things like volume creation, partitioning, mounting and
|
||||||
|
package installation. As a rule these abstractions are located in the
|
||||||
|
``base/`` folder, where the manifest parsing and task ordering algorithm
|
||||||
|
are placed as well.
