This requires stackhpc.os-images v1.10.0 or newer, for compatibility with CentOS 8 when SELinux is enabled: we disable SELinux, but without rebooting it stays enabled. This Ansible role was updated to v1.10.2 in master and stable/victoria by I5efdbd52556721914fe69d7c6ba454b2c721b643, for another reason. Remember to bump the requirement when backporting to earlier releases. It also needs changes in the way we interact with Bifrost to avoid using the env-vars file which has been removed. This is implemented by change I25078e69acdf41a4ef9957f99fe5047de54b778d. Finally, it requires building seed deployment images only after deploying Bifrost, because the task copying images onto the seed expects /etc/kolla/bifrost to exist. We also copy log files to identify issues when the job fails. Change-Id: I4719b4d397c01b35c78cb84c6d686dd27742d1c0
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.
