The 'kayobe overcloud inventory discover' command can be used to discover an overcloud inventory from the nodes in the ironic service running on the seed. This works well for cases where the nodes have been autodiscovered, and as such do not exist in the kayobe inventory. There is another use case where overcloud nodes already exist in the kayobe inventory. In that case we don't want to run the above command, as it will create duplicate hosts in the inventory. We do however want the part of that command that generates bifrost host variables for the overcloud nodes. This change moves the generation of bifrost host variables to the 'kayobe overcloud provision' and 'kayobe overcloud hardware inspect' commands, which are used in each of these cases.

Kayobe
Kayobe enables deployment of containerised OpenStack to bare metal.
Containers offer a compelling solution for isolating OpenStack services, but running the control plane on an orchestrator such as Kubernetes or Docker Swarm adds significant complexity and operational overheads.
The hosts in an OpenStack control plane must somehow be provisioned, but deploying a secondary OpenStack cloud to do this seems like overkill.
Kayobe stands on the shoulders of giants:
- OpenStack bifrost discovers and provisions the cloud
- OpenStack kolla builds container images for OpenStack services
- OpenStack kolla-ansible delivers painless deployment and upgrade of containerised OpenStack services
To this solid base, kayobe adds:
- Configuration of cloud host OS & flexible networking
- Management of physical network devices
- A friendly openstack-like CLI
All this and more, automated from top to bottom using Ansible.
