Jobs that test baremetal deployment are currently failing when run on Vexxhost infrastructure. The seed VM job also has trouble on Vexxhost, although does sometimes pass. It's not clear why yet, and we are still investigating. Until we have a solution, fail in the pre phase when we land on vexxhost clouds, in order to trigger the zuul retry mechanism. Also use the normal number (5) of attempts for upgrade jobs, since these no longer deploy the previous release in the pre phase. Finally, incorporate a fix from https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/kayobe-config-dev/+/777076 to allow this to merge. This part can be reverted once the kayobe-config-dev patch merges.

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 and workload monitoring and log aggregation using OpenStack monasca
