.. versionadded:: Jewel

From Ceph release Jewel and beyond, you may configure each :term`Ceph Object
Gateway` to work in an active active zone configuration, allowing for writes to
non-master zones. Following are the basic terminologies that would be used:

- **Zone**: A zone is *logical* grouping of one or more Ceph Object Gateway
  instances. There will be one Zone that should be designated as the master zone
  in a zonegroup, which will handle all bucket and user creation.

- **Zonegroup**: A zonegroup consists of multiple zones, this approximately
  corresponds to what used to be called as a region in pre Jewel releases for
  federated deployments. There should be a master zonegroup that will handle
  changes to the system configuration.

- **Zonegroup map**: A zonegroup map is a configuration structure that holds the
  map of the entire system, ie. which zonegroup is the master, relationships
  between different zonegroups and certain configurables like storage policies.

- **Realm**: A realm is a container for zonegroups, this allows for separation
  of zonegroups themselves between clusters. It is possible to create multiple
  realms, making it easier to run completely different configurations in the same
  cluster.

- **Period**: A period holds the configuration structure for the current state
  of the realm. Every period contains a unique id and an epoch. A period's epoch
  is incremented on every commit operation. Every realm has an associated
  current period, holding the current state of configuration of the zonegroups
  and storage policies. Any configuration change for a non master zone will
  increment the period's epoch. Changing the master zone to a different zone
  will trigger the following changes:
  - A new period is generated with a new period id and epoch of 1
  - Realm's current period is updated to point to the newly generated period id
  - Realm's epoch is incremented

About this guide
================

In this guide we create a single zone group, with three separate zones, which
actively sync data between them. For the purpose of the guide, we create 2 zones
in the same cluster, and the third zone in a different cluster. There is no sync
agent involved for mirroring data changes between the RadosGWs and this allows
for a much simpler configuration scheme and active-active configurations. Please
note that metadata operations such as creating a user would still need to go
through the master zone, however data operations such as creation of buckets
objects etc. can be handled by any of the zones.

System Keys
-----------

While configuring zones, RadosGW, expects creation of zone a system user, with
an S3-like access and secret keys. This allows another radosgw instance to pull
the configuration remotely, with the access and secret keys. For making
scripting and use of configuration management tools easier, it would be easier
to generate the access-key and secret-key before hand and use these. For the
purpose of the guide we assume an access key and secret key are set in the
environment. For eg., something like::

  $ SYSTEM_ACCESS_KEY=1555b35654ad1656d805
  $ SYSTEM_SECRET_KEY=h7GhxuBLTrlhVUyxSPUKUV8r/2EI4ngqJxD7iBdBYLhwluN30JaT3Q12

Generally access keys are 20 alphanumeric characters, secret keys are
40 alphanumeric characters (they can contain +/= chars as well). These
keys can be generated in shell for eg::

  $ SYSTEM_ACCESS_KEY=$(cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9' | fold -w 20 | head -n 1)
  $ SYSTEM_SECRET_KEY=$(cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9' | fold -w 40 | head -n 1)

Naming conventions
------------------

This section describes the process of setting up a master zone. For the purpose
of the guide, we'll assume a zonegroup called ``us`` spanning the United States,
which will be our master zonegroup. This will contain two zones written in a
``{zonegroup}-{zone}`` format, this is just a convention only and you are free
to choose a format you prefer to set these names. So in summary:

- Master Zonegroup: United States ``us``
- Master zone: United States, East Region 1: ``us-east-1``
- Secondary zone: United States, East Region 2: ``us-east-2``
- Secondary zone: United States, West Region: ``us-west``

This will be a part of a larger realm, say ``gold``. The zones ``us-east-1`` and
``us-east-2`` are part of the same ceph cluster, of which we'll make
``us-east-1`` as the primary. ``us-west`` will be in a different ceph cluster.

Create Pools
------------

Radosgw will create pools on its own, when it is configured with the appropriate
permissions, this will be done with the value of ``pg_num`` and ``pgp_num`` from
the ``ceph.conf``. See `Ceph Object Gateway - Create Pools`_ for more detailed
explanation. Pools particular to a zone by default follows the convention of
``{zone-name}.pool-name``. In the default configuration, for eg. in
``us-east-1`` zone following will be the pools:

- ``.rgw.root``
- ``us-east-1.rgw.control``
- ``us-east-1.rgw.data.root``
- ``us-east-1.rgw.gc``
- ``us-east-1.rgw.log``
- ``us-east-1.rgw.intent-log``
- ``us-east-1.rgw.usage``
- ``us-east-1.rgw.users.keys``
- ``us-east-1.rgw.users.email``
- ``us-east-1.rgw.users.swift``
- ``us-east-1.rgw.users.uid``
- ``us-east-1.rgw.buckets.index``
- ``us-east-1.rgw.buckets.data``
- ``us-east-1.rgw.meta``

These pools can be created in other zones as well replacing ``us-east-1`` with
the appropriate zone name.

Configuring the master zone in the primary cluster
==================================================

First, we'll be configuring the master zone ``us-east-1``, in the master
zonegroup ``us``, this will serve as the master zone for all metadata
operations, so all operations like creation of users need to be done on this
zone.

Creating a realm
----------------

Configure a realm called ``gold``, and also make this the default ::

  # radosgw-admin realm create --rgw-realm=gold --default
  {
    "id": "4a367026-bd8f-40ee-b486-8212482ddcd7",
    "name": "gold",
    "current_period": "09559832-67a4-4101-8b3f-10dfcd6b2707",
    "epoch": 1
  }


Note that every realm has an id, which allows for flexibility like renaming the
realm later, should the need arise. The ``current_period`` changes whenever we
change anything in the master zone. The ``epoch`` is incremented when there's a
change in configuration of the master zone, which results in a change of current
period.

Deleting the default zonegroup
------------------------------

A simple installation of radosgw would assume the default zonegroup called
"default", since we no longer need this we begin by removing the default
zonegroup::

  # radosgw-admin zonegroup delete --rgw-zonegroup=default


Creating a master zonegroup
---------------------------

We'll be creating a zonegroup called ``us`` as a master zonegroup. A master
zonegroup will be in control of the zonegroup map and propagate changes to the
rest of the system. We will also set this zonegroup as the default, which allows later commands to use this zonegroup without explicitly mentioning it with the rgw-zonegroup switch.

::

   # radosgw-admin zonegroup create --rgw-zonegroup=us --endpoints=http://rgw1:80 --master --default
   {
    "id": "d4018b8d-8c0d-4072-8919-608726fa369e",
    "name": "us",
    "api_name": "us",
    "is_master": "true",
    "endpoints": [
        "http:\/\/rgw1:80"
    ],
    "hostnames": [],
    "hostnames_s3website": [],
    "master_zone": "",
    "zones": [],
    "placement_targets": [],
    "default_placement": "",
    "realm_id": "4a367026-bd8f-40ee-b486-8212482ddcd7"
    }

Alternatively, we make this zonegroup as the default zonegroup via the following
command ::

  # radosgw-admin zonegroup default --rgw-zonegroup=us


Creating a master zone
----------------------

Next we create a zone, and make it as the default zone. Note that for metadata
operations like user creation you would want to use this zone. We also add it to
the zonegroup

::

   # radosgw-admin zone create --rgw-zonegroup=us --rgw-zone=us-east-1 --endpoints=http://rgw1:80 --access-key=$SYSTEM_ACCESS_KEY --secret=$SYSTEM_SECRET_KEY --default --master
   {
    "id": "83859a9a-9901-4f00-aa6d-285c777e10f0",
    "name": "us-east-1",
    "domain_root": "us-east-1.rgw.data.root",
    "control_pool": "us-east-1.rgw.control",
    "gc_pool": "us-east-1.rgw.gc",
    "log_pool": "us-east-1.rgw.log",
    "intent_log_pool": "us-east-1.rgw.intent-log",
    "usage_log_pool": "us-east-1.rgw.usage",
    "user_keys_pool": "us-east-1.rgw.users.keys",
    "user_email_pool": "us-east-1.rgw.users.email",
    "user_swift_pool": "us-east-1.rgw.users.swift",
    "user_uid_pool": "us-east-1.rgw.users.uid",
    "system_key": {
        "access_key": "1555b35654ad1656d804",
        "secret_key": "h7GhxuBLTrlhVUyxSPUKUV8r\/2EI4ngqJxD7iBdBYLhwluN30JaT3Q=="
    },
    "placement_pools": [
        {
            "key": "default-placement",
            "val": {
                "index_pool": "us-east-1.rgw.buckets.index",
                "data_pool": "us-east-1.rgw.buckets.data",
                "data_extra_pool": "us-east-1.rgw.buckets.non-ec",
                "index_type": 0
            }
        }
    ],
    "metadata_heap": "us-east-1.rgw.meta",
    "realm_id": "4a367026-bd8f-40ee-b486-8212482ddcd7"
    }


  Note that the above ``--rgw-zonegroup`` and ``--default`` switches add the
  zone to a zonegroup and makes it the default zone as well. This can also be
  accomplished alternatively by the following commands::

    # radosgw-admin zone default --rgw-zone=us-east
    # radosgw-admin zonegroup add --rgw-zonegroup=us --rgw-zone=us-east


Creating system users
---------------------

Next we create the system users for accessing the zone pools, note that these
keys would be used when configuring the secondary zone::

  # radosgw-admin user create --uid=zone.user --display-name="Zone
  User" --access-key=$SYSTEM_ACCESS_KEY --secret=$SYSTEM_SECRET_KEY --system
  {
    "user_id": "zone.user",
    "display_name": "Zone User",
    "email": "",
    "suspended": 0,
    "max_buckets": 1000,
    "auid": 0,
    "subusers": [],
    "keys": [
        {
            "user": "zone.user",
            "access_key": "1555b35654ad1656d804",
            "secret_key": "h7GhxuBLTrlhVUyxSPUKUV8r\/2EI4ngqJxD7iBdBYLhwluN30JaT3Q=="
        }
    ],
    "swift_keys": [],
    "caps": [],
    "op_mask": "read, write, delete",
    "system": "true",
    "default_placement": "",
    "placement_tags": [],
    "bucket_quota": {
        "enabled": false,
        "max_size_kb": -1,
        "max_objects": -1
    },
    "user_quota": {
        "enabled": false,
        "max_size_kb": -1,
        "max_objects": -1
    },
    "temp_url_keys": []
  }



Update the period
-----------------
Since we have now made a change in the master zone configuration, we need to
commit these zone changes to reflect in the realm configuration structure. This
is what the period would look like initially::

  # radosgw-admin period get
   {
    "id": "09559832-67a4-4101-8b3f-10dfcd6b2707",
    "epoch": 1,
    "predecessor_uuid": "",
    "sync_status": [],
    "period_map": {
        "id": "09559832-67a4-4101-8b3f-10dfcd6b2707",
        "zonegroups": [],
        "short_zone_ids": []
    },
    "master_zonegroup": "",
    "master_zone": "",
    "period_config": {
        "bucket_quota": {
            "enabled": false,
            "max_size_kb": -1,
            "max_objects": -1
        },
        "user_quota": {
            "enabled": false,
            "max_size_kb": -1,
            "max_objects": -1
        }
    },
    "realm_id": "4a367026-bd8f-40ee-b486-8212482ddcd7",
    "realm_name": "gold",
    "realm_epoch": 1
    }

Now we update the period and commit the changes::

  # radosgw-admin period update --commit
  {
    "id": "b5e4d3ec-2a62-4746-b479-4b2bc14b27d1",
    "epoch": 1,
    "predecessor_uuid": "09559832-67a4-4101-8b3f-10dfcd6b2707",
    "sync_status": [ ""... # truncating the output here
    ],
    "period_map": {
        "id": "b5e4d3ec-2a62-4746-b479-4b2bc14b27d1",
        "zonegroups": [
            {
                "id": "d4018b8d-8c0d-4072-8919-608726fa369e",
                "name": "us",

                "endpoints": [
                    "http:\/\/rgw1:80"
                ],

                        "log_meta": "true",
                        "log_data": "false",
                        "bucket_index_max_shards": 0,
                        "read_only": "false"
                    }
                ],
                "placement_targets": [
                    {
                        "name": "default-placement",
                        "tags": []
                    }
                ],
                "default_placement": "default-placement",
                "realm_id": "4a367026-bd8f-40ee-b486-8212482ddcd7"
            }
        ],

            {
                "key": "83859a9a-9901-4f00-aa6d-285c777e10f0",
                "val": 630926044
            }
        ]
    },
    "master_zonegroup": "d4018b8d-8c0d-4072-8919-608726fa369e",
    "master_zone": "83859a9a-9901-4f00-aa6d-285c777e10f0",
    "period_config": {
        "bucket_quota": {
            "enabled": false,
            "max_size_kb": -1,
            "max_objects": -1
        },
        "user_quota": {

            "max_size_kb": -1,
            "max_objects": -1
        }
    },
    "realm_id": "4a367026-bd8f-40ee-b486-8212482ddcd7",
    "realm_name": "gold",
    "realm_epoch": 2
    }


Starting the radosgw
--------------------

Before starting the radosgw, the rgw zone and port options need to be mentioned
in the configuration file. For more details refer to the `Install Ceph Gateway`_
section of the guide. The configuration section for radosgw should resemble::

  [client.rgw.us-east-1]
  rgw_frontends="civetweb port=80"
  rgw_zone=us-east

And start the Ceph Object gateway (according to the OS installation) ::

  sudo systemctl start ceph-radosgw.service


Configuring the Secondary zone in Same Cluster
==============================================

Now we configure the secondary zone, ``us-east-2``, in the same cluster. For the
same cluster, all the following commands can be executed in the node hosting the
primary zone itself.

Secondary Zone Creation
-----------------------

We follow a similar step to creation of master zone, except dropping the
``master`` flag this time ::

  # radosgw-admin zone create --rgw-zonegroup=us --rgw-zone=us-east-2 --access-key=$SYSTEM_ACCESS_KEY --secret=$SYSTEM_SECRET_KEY --endpoints=http://rgw2:80
  {
    "id": "950c1a43-6836-41a2-a161-64777e07e8b8",
    "name": "us-east-2",
    "domain_root": "us-east-2.rgw.data.root",
    "control_pool": "us-east-2.rgw.control",
    "gc_pool": "us-east-2.rgw.gc",
    "log_pool": "us-east-2.rgw.log",
    "intent_log_pool": "us-east-2.rgw.intent-log",

    "user_uid_pool": "us-east-2.rgw.users.uid",
    "system_key": {
        "access_key": "1555b35654ad1656d804",
        "secret_key": "h7GhxuBLTrlhVUyxSPUKUV8r\/2EI4ngqJxD7iBdBYLhwluN30JaT3Q=="
    },
    "placement_pools": [
        {
            "key": "default-placement",
            "val": {
                "index_pool": "us-east-2.rgw.buckets.index",
                "data_pool": "us-east-2.rgw.buckets.data",
                "data_extra_pool": "us-east-2.rgw.buckets.non-ec",
                "index_type": 0
            }
        }
    ],
    "metadata_heap": "us-east-2.rgw.meta",
    "realm_id": "815d74c2-80d6-4e63-8cfc-232037f7ff5c"
    }

Updating the Period
-------------------

Next we inform all the gateways of the new change in the system map by doing a
period update and committing the changes::

  # radosgw-admin period update --commit
  {
    "id": "b5e4d3ec-2a62-4746-b479-4b2bc14b27d1",

        "zonegroups": [
            {

                    },

Starting the radosgw
--------------------

On the node that is hosting the radosgw of the secondary zone, you would start
it, similar to the `Starting the Radosgw`_, changing the ``rgw zone=us-east-2``
in the configuration file this time. For eg::

  [client.rgw.us-east-2]
  rgw_frontends="civetweb port=80"
  rgw_zone=us-east-2


Configuring the Gateway in the second Ceph Cluster
==================================================

Now we go on to configuring radosgw in the second ceph cluster, which may be
geographically apart, that is a part of the same zonegroup.

Since a realm was already configured from the first gateway, we pull and make
that realm the default here, We also get the configuration from the master zone
by pulling the period::

  # radosgw-admin realm pull --url=http://rgw1:80
  --access-key=$SYSTEM_ACCESS_KEY --secret=$SYSTEM_SECRET_KEY
  {
    "id": "4a367026-bd8f-40ee-b486-8212482ddcd7",
    "name": "gold",
    "current_period": "b5e4d3ec-2a62-4746-b479-4b2bc14b27d1",
    "epoch": 2
  }

  # radosgw-admin period pull --url=http://rgw1:80 --access-key=$SYSTEM_ACCESS_KEY --secret=$SYSTEM_SECRET_KEY
  # radosgw-admin realm default --rgw-realm=gold

We also set the default zonegroup to the created ``us`` zonegroup::

  # radosgw-admin zonegroup default --rgw-zonegroup=us

Secondary Zone Configuration
----------------------------

We create the new zone, ``us-west``, with the same system keys::

  # radosgw-admin zone create --rgw-zonegroup=us --rgw-zone=us-west
  --access-key=$SYSTEM_ACCESS_KEY --secret=$SYSTEM_SECRET_KEY --endpoints=http://rgw3:80 --default

You can observe that the period epoch number has incremented, indicating a
change in the configuration

Starting the Ceph Object Gateway
--------------------------------

This is similar to starting the object gateway in the first zone, only
difference being in the ``rgw zone`` configurable, which should reflect ``us-west``::

  [client.rgw.us-east-1]
  rgw_frontends="civetweb port=80"
  rgw_zone=us-west

And start the radosgw depending on your Operating system's init system, for eg::

  $ sudo systemctl start ceph-radosgw.service


.. _`Ceph Object Gateway - Create Pools`: ../config#create_pools
