This allows a deployer to customise their inventory at various levels, by providing a custom inventory template for one or more of the sections of the inventory. * Top level groups define the roles of hosts, e.g. controller or compute. * Components define groups of services, e.g. nova or ironic. * Services define single containers, e.g. nova-compute or ironic-api.
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.
