Airship in a Bottle

Airship is a broad integration of several components enabling an automated, resilient Kubernetes-based infrastructure for hosting Helm-deployed containerized workloads.

Airship is the name for the project formerly known as UCP or the Undercloud Platform.

Find more documentation for Airship in a Bottle on Read the Docs.

To get started, run the following in a fresh Ubuntu 16.04 VM (minimum 4vCPU/20GB RAM/32GB disk). This will deploy Airship and Openstack Helm (OSH):

sudo -i
mkdir -p /root/deploy && cd "$_"
git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack/airship-in-a-bottle
cd /root/deploy/airship-in-a-bottle/manifests/dev_single_node
./airship-in-a-bottle.sh

Or, alternatively, if you have Vagrant installed, just run the following (only libvirt/kvm hypervisor is tested, but vagrant box supports VMware Desktop/Workstation/Fusion, Parallels, and Hyper-V):

curl -O https://git.airshipit.org/cgit/airship-in-a-bottle/plain/Vagrantfile
vagrant up
