Tutorial Fails with Client.Timeout

[ghost]

If you following the tutorial here, you can provision an instance using the provided example file. However, continuing the example by committing a group fails with an error.

To reproduce
With infrakit started and using the provided group.yml file:
infrakit local group commit -y ./group.yml --log-debug-V 0 --log 5

Result

Comments
Outside of a potential regression, it seems as though the Group plugin is proxing for a real Controller implementation which does not exist in the tutorial setup. I can see some recent Controller implementations, but I am not sure which one to use in this case.

[ghost]

TLDR: I got it working. You need to specify a list of Controller implementation(s) to the Manager plugin using the INFRAKIT_MANAGER_CONTROLLERS environment variable as well as add the controller plugin to the plugin list. This changes the group command to use the Stack interface instead of the Group interface. So to achieve similar results in the tutorial, use the group/groups command to commit the given group.yml file. Detailed commands are below.

Launch Infrakit

INFRAKIT_MANAGER_CONTROLLERS=resource \
   infrakit plugin start manager group resource vanilla simulator

In another shell:

infrakit local group/groups commit -y ./group.yml

To verify:

infrakit local group/workers ls

For the record, it does not seem to matter which controller implementation you use when committing the group. For example, the commit will work if you use pool instead.

From my perspective, this issue may be closed unless you would like to target it against the docs.

If you’d like to correct the docs that would be awesome! If not I’ll try and take your notes and do it once I’m back. Thanks for your work!
