Kolla (container images) and kolla-ansible (container deployment) are separate concerns, and should be treated as such. Configuration variables have been added for kolla-ansible which were previously shared between the two projects: kolla_venv -> kolla_ansible_venv kolla_ctl_install_type -> kolla_ansible_ctl_install_type Also, we introduce specific variables for the source code repository checkout paths, which were previously both based on source_checkout_path: kolla_source_path kolla_ansible_source_path These changes help us to cleanly separate the configuration of paths on the local (Ansible control) host, from those on the managed (target) hosts. This is important because the local paths may be specific to the environment in which the user is running kayobe, but the remote paths are relatively fixed and specific to the cluster.
Kayobe
Deployment of Scientific OpenStack using OpenStack kolla.
Kayobe is an open source tool for automating deployment of Scientific OpenStack onto a set of bare metal servers. Kayobe is composed of Ansible playbooks, a python module, and makes heavy use of the OpenStack kolla project. Kayobe aims to complement the kolla-ansible project, providing an opinionated yet highly configurable OpenStack deployment and automation of many operational procedures.
