Description:

Topology Docker its a plugin (called a Platform Engine) for the Topology
Framework that allows to build a topology using Docker containers.

Documentation

Changelog

1.8.0
Changes

Allow platform to receive options, so it is compatible with the new Topology
1.10.0 “options” feature. [David Diaz]



1.7.0

Release changelog lost in time.



1.6.0
New

A dockerfile for a test host container has been added. The purpose of this
container is to serve as a general purpose test host, which includes by
default several tools (iperf, tcpdump, for example) that are useful for test
case execution.
Fixing default host image in ubuntu:14.04. The default image for hosts
used to be ubuntu:latest but since the actual image to which this points
to can change, it could introduce issues for test cases that were developed
under the assumption that the pointed-to image included the necessary tools
for the test case.
Logging the image and container data. Image name, id, creation date, etc. are
now logged automatically for every container.
Docker nodes now mount their /tmp directory under the host /tmp. The
mount path of this directory under the host /tmp is defined using the
container id.
A new test that checks the proper functionality of host routes has been
added. This is a functional test in which 2 hosts ping each other.

Changes

Documentation for image attribute has been improved. This attribute was a
source of confusion since it was not explicitly documented that the TAG
column needed to be included in the image value.

Fixes

Nodes which fail to start are now not considered for rollback. Also, this
rollback process is now a best effort since it just tries to stop nodes. If
one of these nodes fails to stop, this will be logged and the process will
continue.



1.5.0
Changes
The only change in this version is the transference of all specialized support
nodes previously included with this platform engine into their own repositories.
This change seeks to improve maintainability of the platform engine, separation
of the support nodes issues, requirements and enhancements from those of the
platform and, finally, endorse shared ownership of the nodes.
The new home for those support nodes are:

OpenSwitch support node:
https://github.com/HPENetworking/topology_docker_openswitch

Open vSwitch support node:
https://github.com/HPENetworking/topology_docker_openvswitch

P4Switch support node:
https://github.com/HPENetworking/topology_docker_p4switch

Ryu Controller support node:
https://github.com/HPENetworking/topology_docker_ryu




1.4.0
New

The binds attribute can now be injected and extended by users. If you
require to add a new bind directory to a node you may now specify the
attribute binds (and thus, also use attribute injection) separating the
pair of binded directories with a ;. For example:
/host/a:/container/a;/host/b:/container/b

OpenSwitch support node will now notify the container when the setup of the
interfaces is done. This fixes many potential race conditions on container
initialization. To be able to use this new feature an OpenSwitch image of a
date greater than March 4 2016 is required.

Changes

Set topology minimal version to 1.5.0.
Internal docker exec shell layer migrated to Topology’s new shell API,
available since 1.4.0 and improved in 1.5.0.

Fixes

OpenSwitch support node will now ignore the bonding_masters interface
when creating setting up the ports.
Fixed a race condition in OpenSwitch support node caused by a slower than
normal db schema setup in ovsdb. This race conditions caused an IndexError
when setting up the image, causing the topology build to rollback.



1.3.0
Changes

Node’s/Container’s hostname can now be set using the hostname attribute
in the SZN description. OpenSwitch will always enforce the switch
hostname for all nodes of this type.
Docker-py’s will now use the server’s API version, instead of the latest.
With this it will no longer required to update the Docker daemon to run
topology tests.
Set topology minimal version to 1.2.0.



1.2.0
Changes

Refactored node loading logic to use topology.platforms.utils.NodeLoader
instead.



1.1.0
New

Added Dockerfiles for Ryu and P4.

Changes

The Open vSwitch node will now check that the openvswitch kernel module
is loaded. It is supposed to work in user space, but we discovered many race
conditions without the kernel module.
Check the documentation of the openvswitch node for more information.

Fixes

Improved openswitch’s vtysh prompt regular expression to avoid false
positives matches.
Fixed a bug on shell management that caused the echo of the command to be
included in the output, and thus interpreted as failed.



1.0.0

Initial public release.
