bang

exception bang.BangError[source]

Bases: exceptions.Exception

exception bang.TimeoutError[source]

Bases: bang.BangError

bang.attributes

Constants for attribute names of the various resources.

This module contains the top-level config file attributes including those that are typically placed in ~/.bangrc.

bang.attributes.ANSIBLE = 'ansible'

A dict containing ansible tuning variables.

bang.attributes.DEPLOYER_CREDS = 'deployer_credentials'

A dict containing credentials for various cloud providers in which the keys can be any valid provider. E.g. aws, hpcloud.

bang.attributes.LOGGING = 'logging'

The top-level key for logging-related configuration options.

bang.attributes.NAME = 'name'

The stack name. Its value is used to tag servers and other cloud resources.

bang.attributes.NAME_TAG_NAME = 'name_tag_name'

Like chicken fried chicken... this is a way to configure the name of the tag in which the combined stack-role (a.k.a. name) will be stored. By default, unless this is specified directly in ~/.bangrc, the name value will be assigned to a tag named “Name” (this is the default tag displayed in the AWS management console). I.e. using Bang defaults, the server named “bar” in the stack named “foo” will have the following tags:

stack:  foo
role:   bar
Name:   foo-bar

In some cases, admins may have other purposes for the “Name” tag. If ~/.bangrc were to have name_tag_name set to descriptor, then the server described above would have the following tags:

stack:       foo
role:        bar
descriptor:  foo-bar

To prevent Bang from assigning the name value to a tag, assign an empty string to the name_tag_name attribute in ~/.bangrc.

bang.attributes.PLAYBOOKS = 'playbooks'

The ordered list of playbooks to run after provisioning the cloud resources.

bang.attributes.PROVIDER = 'provider'

The resource provider (e.g. aws, hpcloud). Values for the provider attribute will be used to look up the appropriate Provider subclass to use when instantiating the associated resource.

bang.attributes.SERVER_CLASS = 'server_class'

This is a derived attribute that Bang provides for instance tagging, and for Ansible playbooks to consume. It’s a combination of the NAME and the VERSION.

bang.attributes.STACK = 'stack'

This is a derived attribute that Bang provides for instance tagging, and for Ansible playbooks to consume. It’s a combination of the NAME and the VERSION.

bang.attributes.VERSION = 'version'

The stack version. Often, you need a global version of a stack in a playbook. E.g. when a web client wants to query a web service for API compatibility, the playbooks could configure the web service to report this stack version.

bang.attributes.ansible

bang.attributes.ansible.ASK_VAULT_PASS = 'ask_vault_pass'

A boolean controlling whether or not to prompt for the vault password

bang.attributes.ansible.VAULT_PASS = 'vault_pass'

The string used to decrypt any ansible vaults referenced in playbooks

bang.attributes.ansible.VERBOSITY = 'verbosity'

An integer indicating verbosity.

bang.config

class bang.config.Config(*args, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: dict

A dict-alike that provides a convenient constructor, stashes the path to the config file as an instance attribute, and performs some validation of the values.

__init__(*args, **kwargs)[source]
Parameters:path_to_yaml (str) – Path to a yaml file to use as the data source for the returned instance.
autoinc()[source]

Conditionally updates the stack version in the file associated with this config.

This handles both official releases (i.e. QA configs), and release candidates. Assumptions about version:

  • Official release versions are MAJOR.minor, where MAJOR and minor are both non-negative integers. E.g.

    2.9 2.10 2.11 3.0 3.1 3.2 etc...

  • Release candidate versions are MAJOR.minor-rc.N, where MAJOR, minor, and N are all non-negative integers.

    3.5-rc.1 3.5-rc.2

classmethod from_config_specs(config_specs, prepare=True)[source]

Alternate constructor that merges config attributes from $HOME/.bangrc and config_specs into a single Config object.

The first (and potentially only spec) in config_specs should be main configuration file for the stack to be deployed. The returned object’s filepath will be set to the absolute path of the first config file.

If multiple config specs are supplied, their values are merged together in the order specified in config_specs - That is, later values override earlier values.

Parameters:
  • config_specs (list of str) – List of config specs.
  • prepare (bool) – Flag to control whether or not prepare() is called automatically before returning the object.
Return type:

Config

prepare()[source]

Reorganizes the data such that the deployment logic can find it all where it expects to be.

The raw configuration file is intended to be as human-friendly as possible partly through the following mechanisms:

  • In order to minimize repetition, any attributes that are common to all server configurations can be specified in the server_common_attributes stanza even though the stanza itself does not map directly to a deployable resource.
  • For reference locality, each security group stanza contains its list of rules even though rules are actually created in a separate stage from the groups themselves.

In order to make the Config object more useful to the program logic, this method performs the following transformations:

  • Distributes the server_common_attributes among all the members of the servers stanza.
  • Extracts security group rules to a top-level key, and interpolates all source and target values.
validate()[source]

Performs all validation checks on this config.

Raises ValueError for invalid configs.

bang.config.find_component_tarball(bucket, comp_name, comp_config)[source]

Returns True if the component tarball is found in the bucket.

Otherwise, returns False.

bang.config.parse_bangrc()[source]

Parses $HOME/.bangrc for global settings and deployer credentials. The .bangrc file is expected to be a YAML file whose outermost structure is a key-value map.

Note that even though .bangrc is just a YAML file in which a user could store any top-level keys, it is not expected to be used as a holder of default values for stack-specific configuration attributes - if present, they will be ignored.

Returns {} if $HOME/.bangrc does not exist.

Return type:dict
bang.config.read_raw_bangrc()[source]
bang.config.resolve_config_spec(config_spec, config_dir='')[source]

Resolves config_spec to a path to a config file.

Parameters:
  • config_spec (str) –

    Valid config specs:

    • The basename of a YAML config file without the .yml extension. The full path to the config file is resolved by appending .yml to the basename, then by searching for the result in the config_dir.
    • The path to a YAML config file. The path may be absolute or may be relative to the current working directory. If config_spec contains a / (forward slash), or if it ends in .yml, it is treated as a path.
  • config_dir (str) – The directory in which to search for stack configuration files.
Return type:

str

bang.deployers

Base classes and definitions for bang deployers (deployable components)

bang.deployers.get_stage_deployers(keys, stack)[source]

Parameters:
  • keys (Iterable) – A list of top-level configuration keys for which to create deployers.
  • config (Stack) – A stack object.

  • group_names (list) – A list of group names to which the host belongs. Note: This list will be sorted in-place.
  • host_vars (dict) – A mapping object of host variables. This can be a nested structure, and is used as the source of all the variables provided to the ansible playbooks. Note: Additional key-value pairs (e.g. dynamic ansible values like ``inventory_hostname``) will be inserted into this mapping object.
add_lb_secgroup(lb_name, hosts, port)[source]

Used by the load balancer deployer to register a hostname for a load balancer, in order that security group rules can be applied later. This is multiprocess-safe, but since keys are accessed only be a single load balancer deployer there should be no conflicts.

Parameters:lb_name (str) – The load balancer name (as per the config file)

:param list hosts: The load balancer host[s], once known

Parameters:port – The backend port that the LB will connect on
configure(*args, **kwargs)[source]

Executes the ansible playbooks that configure the servers in the stack.

Assumes that the root playbook directory is ./playbooks/ relative to the stack configuration file. Also sets the ansible module_path to be ./common_modules/ relative to the stack configuration file.

E.g. If the stack configuration file is:

$HOME/bang-stacks/my_web_service.yml

then the root playbook directory is:

$HOME/bang-stacks/playbooks/

and the ansible module path is:

$HOME/bang-stacks/common_modules/
deploy()[source]

Iterates through the deployers returned by self.get_deployers().

Deployers in the same stage are run concurrently. The runner only proceeds to the next stage once all of the deployers in the same stage have completed successfully.

Any failures in a stage cause the run to terminate before proceeding to the next stage.

describe()[source]

Iterates through the deployers but doesn’t run anything

find_first(attr_name, resources, extra_prefix='')[source]

Returns the boto object for the first resource in resources that belongs to this stack. Uses the attribute specified by attr_name to match the stack name.

E.g. An RDS instance for a stack named foo might be named foo-mydb-fis8932ifs. This call:

find_first('id', conn.get_all_dbinstances())

would return the boto.rds.dbinstance.DBInstance object whose id is foo-mydb-fis8932ifs.

Returns None if a matching resource is not found.

If specified, extra_prefix is appended to the stack name prefix before matching.

gather_inventory()[source]

Gathers existing inventory info.

Does not create any new infrastructure.

get_deployers()[source]

Returns a list of stages, where each stage is a list of Deployer objects. It defines the execution order of the various deployers.

get_namespace(key)[source]

Returns a SharedNamespace for the given key. These are used by Deployer objects of the same deployer_class to coordinate control over multiple deployed instances of like resources. E.g. With 5 clones of an application server, 5 Deployer objects in separate, concurrent processes will use the same shared namespace to ensure that each object/process controls a distinct server.

Parameters:key (str) – Unique ID for the namespace. Deployer objects that call get_namespace() with the same key will receive the same SharedNamespace object.
have_inventory = None

Deployers stash inventory data for any newly-created servers in this mapping object. Note: uses SharedMap because this must be multiprocess-safe.

show_host(host)[source]

Satisfies the --host portion of ansible’s external inventory API.

Allows bang to be used as an external inventory script, for example when running ad-hoc ops tasks. For more details, see: http://ansible.cc/docs/api.html#external-inventory-scripts

show_inventory(*args, **kwargs)[source]

Satisfies the --list portion of ansible’s external inventory API.

Allows bang to be used as an external inventory script, for example when running ad-hoc ops tasks. For more details, see: http://ansible.cc/docs/api.html#external-inventory-scripts

class bang.util.JSONFormatter(config)[source]

Bases: logging.Formatter

__init__(config)[source]
format(record)[source]
class bang.util.NullHandler(level=0)[source]

Bases: logging.Handler

This handler does nothing. It’s intended to be used to avoid the “No handlers could be found for logger XXX” one-off warning. This is important for library code, which may contain code to log events. If a user of the library does not configure logging, the one-off warning might be produced; to avoid this, the library developer simply needs to instantiate a NullHandler and add it to the top-level logger of the library module or package.

createLock()[source]
emit(record)[source]
handle(record)[source]
class bang.util.S3Handler(bucket, prefix='')[source]

Parameters:dict_name (str) – The name of the dict onto which the values should be merged.
class bang.util.SharedNamespace(manager)[source]

Bases: object

A multiprocess-safe namespace that can be used to coordinate naming similar resources uniquely. E.g. when searching for existing nodes in a cassandra cluster, you can use this SharedNamespace to make sure other processes aren’t looking at the same node.

__init__(manager)[source]
add_if_unique(name)[source]

Returns True on success.

Returns False if the name already exists in the namespace.

class bang.util.StrictAttrBag(**kwargs)[source]

bang.util.deep_merge_dicts(base, incoming)[source]

Performs an in-place deep-merge of key-values from incoming into base. No attempt is made to preserve the original state of the objects passed in as arguments.

Parameters:
  • base (Any dict-like object) – The target container for the merged values. This will be modified in-place.
  • incoming (Any dict-like object) – The container from which incoming values will be copied. Nested dicts in this will be modified.
Return type:

None

bang.util.fork_exec(cmd_list, input_data=None)[source]

Like the subprocess.check_*() helper functions, but tailored to bang.

cmd_list is the command to run, and its arguments as a list of strings.

input_data is the optional data to pass to the command’s stdin.

On success, returns the output (i.e. stdout) of the remote command.

On failure, raises BangError with the command’s stderr.

bang.util.get_argparser(arg_config)[source]
bang.util.initialize_logging(config)[source]
bang.util.poll_with_timeout(timeout_s, break_func, wake_every_s=60)[source]

Calls break_func every wake_every_s seconds for a total duration of timeout_s seconds, or until break_func returns something other than None.

If break_func returns anything other than None, that value is returned immediately.

Otherwise, continues polling until the timeout is reached, then returns None.
