If no public API network is used, as in the case of typical all-in-one environments, the checks in kolla-ansible.yml, task "Validate Kolla Ansible API address configuration" may fail. This happens only when using the new kolla_internal_vip_address variable, and not if the legacy vip_address network attribute is used. This change fixes the issue by only checking for valid external VIP address/FQDN configuration when a separate public API network is in use. If the external VIP/FQDN are not set, then Kayobe no longer defaults their values to the internal VIP/FQDN, instead relying on the Kolla Ansible defaults to do this. This may have consequences for anyone relying on these variables in configuration. Change-Id: I0b1c963006c044ade5c67c4046da5e2addc9a8c7 Story: 2009134 Task: 43070
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.
Features
- Heavily automated using Ansible
