Shipyard API

Logically, the API has three parts to handle the three areas of functionality in Shipyard.

  1. Document Staging
  2. Action Handling
  3. Airflow Monitoring

Standards used by the API

See UCP API conventions

Notes on examples

Examples assume the following environment variables are set before issuing the curl commands shown:

$TOKEN={a valid keystone token}
$URL={the url and port of the shipyard api}
  • Examples will use json formatted by the jq command for sake of presentation.
  • Actual responses will not formatted.
  • The use of ellipsis indicate a repeated structure in the case of lists, or prior/subsequent structure unimportant to the example (or considered understood).
  • The content-length response headers have been removed so as to not cause confusion with the listed output.

Example response for an invalid token:

HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
content-type: application/json
x-shipyard-req: a8194b97-8973-4b04-a3b3-2bd319024c5d

Document Staging API

Shipyard will serve as the entrypoint for documents (designs, secrets, configurations, etc...) into a site. Documents are posted to Shipyard in collections, rather than individually. At any point in time, there will be two represented versions of documents in a site that are accessible via this API:

  • The "Committed Documents" version, which represents the last version of documents that were successfully commited with a commit_configdocs action.
  • The "Shipyard Buffer" version, which represents the collection of documents that have been ingested by this API since the last commited version. Note that only one set of documents maybe posted to the buffer at a time by default. (This behavior can be overridden by query parameters issued by the user of Shipyard)

All versions of documents rely upon Deckhand for storage. Shipyard uses the tagging features of Deckhand of to find the appropriate Committed Documents and Shipyard Buffer version.


/v1.0/configdocs/{collection_id}

Represents the site configuration documents

Entity Structure

The documents as noted above (commonly yaml), in a format understood by Deckhand

POST /v1.0/configdocs/{collection_id}

Ingests a collection of documents. Synchronous. POSTing an empty body indicates that the specified collection should be deleted when the Shipyard Buffer is committed. If a POST to the commitconfigdocs is in progress, this POST should be rejected with a 409 error.

Important:
The expected input type for this request is 'Content-Type: application/x-yaml'

Query Parameters
  • bufferMode=append|replace|rejectOnContents
    Indicates how the existing Shipyard Buffer should be handled. By default, Shipyard will reject the POST if contents already exist in the Shipyard Buffer.
    • append: Add the collection to the Shipyard Buffer, only if that collection doesn't already exist in the Shipyard Buffer. If the collection is already present, the request will be rejected and a 409 Conflict will be returned.
    • replace: Clear the Shipyard Buffer before adding the specified collection.
Responses
  • 201 Created
    If the documents are successfully ingested, even with validation failures. Response message includes:

    • a list of validation results
    • The response headers will include a Location indicating the GET endpoint to retrieve the configDocs
  • 409 Conflict

    • If a commitconfigdocs POST is in progress.
    • If any collections exist in the Shipyard Buffer unless bufferMode=replace or bufferMode=append.
    • If bufferMode=append, and the collection being posted is already in the Shipyard Buffer

GET /v1.0/configdocs/{collection_id}

Returns the source documents for a collection of documents

Query Parameters
  • version=committed|buffer
    Return the documents for the version specified - buffer by default.

Important:
The output type for this request is 'Content-Type: application/x-yaml'

Responses
  • 200 OK
    If documents can be retrieved.
    • If the response is 200 with an empty response body, this indicates that the buffer version is attempting to 'delete' the collection when it is committed. An empty response body will only be possible for version=buffer.
  • 404 Not Found
    If the collection is not represented
    • When version=buffer, this indicates that no representations of this collection have been POSTed since the last committed version.
    • When version=committed, this indicates that either the collection has never existed or has been deleted by a prior commit

/v1.0/renderedconfigdocs

Represents the site configuration documents, as a whole set - does not consider collections in any way.

GET /v1.0/renderedconfigdocs

Returns the full set of configdocs in their rendered form.

Important:
The output type for this request is 'Content-Type: application/x-yaml'

Query Parameters
  • version=committed|buffer
    Return the documents for the version specified - buffer by default.
Responses
  • 200 OK
    If documents can be retrieved.

/v1.0/commitconfigdocs

A RPC style command to trigger a commit of the configuration documents from the Shipyard Buffer to the Committed Documents. This resource will support POST only.

Entity Structure

The response will be the list of validations from all downstream systems that perform validation during the commit process. The structure will match the error response object described in the UCP API conventions and will be an aggregation of each UCP component's responses.

POST /v1.0/commitconfigdocs

Performs the commit of the Shipyard Buffer to the Committed Documents. Synchronous. This invokes each of the UCP components to examine the Shipyard Buffer version of the configuration documents and aggregate the responses. While performing this commit, further POSTing of configdocs, or other commits may not be invoked (Shipyard will block those requests with a 409 response). If there are any failures to validate, the Shipyard Buffer and Commited Documents will remain unchanged. If successful, the Shipyard Buffer will be cleared, and the Committed documents will be updated.

Note: if there are unhandled runtime errors during the commitconfigdocs POST, a deadlock situation may be possible. Future enhancements may improve this handling.

Query Parameters
  • force=true|false
    By default, false, if there are validation failures the POST will fail with a 400 response. With force=true, allows for the commit to succeed (with a 200 response) even if there are validation failures from downstream components. The aggregate response of validation failures will be returned in this case, but the invalid documents will still be moved from the Shipyard Buffer to the Committed Documents.
Responses
  • 200 OK
    If the validations are successful. Returns an "empty" structure as as response indicating no errors. A 200 may also be returned if there are validation failures, but the force=true query parameter was specified. In this case, the response will contain the list of validations.
  • 400 Bad Request
    If the validations fail. Returns a populated response structure containing the aggregation of the failed validations.
  • 409 Conflict
    If the there is a POST to commitconfigdocs in progress.

Action API

The Shipyard Action API is a resource that allows for creation, control and investigation of triggered workflows. These actions encapsulate a command interface for the Undercloud Platform. See Action Commands for supported actions

[
  { Action objects summarized, See below},
  ...
]

GET /v1.0/actions

Returns the list of actions in the system that have been posted, and are accessible to the current user.

Responses

POST /v1.0/actions

Creates an action in the system. This will cause some action to start. The input body to this post will represent an action object that has at least these fields:

  • name
    The name of the action to invoke, as noted in Action Commands
  • parameters
    A dictionary of parameters to use for the trigger invocation. The supported parameters will vary for the action invoked.
{
  "name" : "action name",
  "parameters" : { varies by action }
}

The POST will synchronously create the action (a shell object that represents a DAG invocation), perform any checks to validate the preconditions to run the DAG, and trigger the invocation of the DAG. The DAG will run asynchronously in airflow.

Responses
  • 201 Created
    If the action is created successfully, and all preconditions to run the DAG are successful. The response body is the action entity created.
  • 400 Bad Request
    If the action name doesn't exist, or the input entity is otherwise malformed.
  • 409 Conflict
    For any failed pre-run validations. The response body is the action entity created, with the failed validations. The DAG will not begin execution in this case.

Airflow Monitoring API

Airflow has a primary function of scheduling DAGs, as opposed to Shipyard's primary case of triggering DAGs.
Shipyard provides functionality to allow for an operator to monitor and review these scheduled workflows (DAGs) in addition to the ones triggered by Shipyard. This API will allow for accessing Airflow DAGs of any type -- providing a peek into the totality of what is happening in Airflow.


/v1.0/workflows

Entity Structure

A list of objects representing the DAGs that have run in airflow.

GET /v1.0/workflows

Queries airflow for DAGs that are running or have run (successfully or unsuccessfully) and provides a summary of those things.

Query parameters
  • since={iso8601 date (past) or duration}
    optional, a boundary in the past within which to retrieve results. Default is 30 days in the past.
