Currently kayobe's ansible galaxy dependencies are unpinned. For versioned roles, any new release will be picked up. For unversioned roles, any new commit to master will be picked up. This is clearly not ideal for stability, and we should pin these dependencies to specific versions to avoid things changing under our feet. For unversioned roles, we may want to consider adding versioning where we have the power to do so. Change-Id: Ib83a0d95b9061b3a57cb0e7c4cff3488ee076664 Story: 2003437 Task: 24633
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.
