Deployment of containerised OpenStack to bare metal using kolla and bifrost
46d15a7630
This requires disabling libvirt_vm_trust_guest_rx_filters, which when
enabled triggers the following errors when booting baremetal instances
with Tenks on Libvirt 9 (and most likely since 8.9.0):
Cannot set interface flags on 'macvtap1': Value too large for defined data type
This is apparently triggered by a Libvirt commit refreshing rx-filters
more often [1].
As explained in I71a2051d8acd63379bd70bc1287a059d4a7f6387, this setting
was added to allow traffic destined for other MAC addresses to reach VMs
when using a macvtap interface.
This will prevent multicast from working, but we don't need it for
baremetal tests in CI.
This setting will be enabled again once the issue is resolved in either
Libvirt or Tenks.

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
- kayobe Command Line Interface (CLI) for cloud operators
- Deployment of a seed VM used to manage the OpenStack control plane
- Configuration of physical network infrastructure
- Discovery, introspection and provisioning of control plane hardware using OpenStack bifrost
- Deployment of an OpenStack control plane using OpenStack kolla-ansible
- Discovery, introspection and provisioning of bare metal compute hosts using OpenStack ironic and ironic inspector
- Virtualised compute using OpenStack nova
- Containerised workloads on bare metal using OpenStack magnum
- Big data on bare metal using OpenStack sahara
- Control plane monitoring using Prometheus and Grafana.
- Log aggregation using OpenSearch and OpenSearch Dashboards.
