Operator Guide

This section aims to help users who have to support a running Understack.

Authenticating

While the User Guide explains how to configure your CLI for regular projects, for operators most of the baremetal infrastructure lives in the infra domain under the baremetal project. So you will need another authentication setup. You can achieve this by adjusting OS_ environment variables or you can add a second entry into clouds.yaml and change OS_CLOUD appropriately.

$HOME/.config/openstack/clouds.yaml

clouds:
  uc-prod-infra:
    auth_type: v3websso
    identity_provider: sso
    protocol: openid
    auth:
      auth_url: https://your.endpoint.url/v3
      project_domain_name: infra
      project_name: baremetal
  uc-prod:
    auth_type: v3websso
    identity_provider: sso
    protocol: openid
    auth:
      auth_url: https://your.endpoint.url/v3
      project_domain_name: Default
      project_name: myproject

In the above case uc-prod-infra would be the operator area while uc-prod would be the regular project area.
