Ocata Series (1.x.y - 2.x.y) Release Notes
==========================================
Kayobe 2.0.0
============
Kayobe 2.0.0 was released on 15th September 2017.
Features
--------
* Adds support for configuration of networks for out-of-band management for
the overcloud and control plane hosts via the ``oob_oc_net_name`` and
``oob_wl_net_name`` variables respectively.
* Adds support for configuration of a *seed hypervisor* host. This host runs
the *seed VM*. Currently, configuration of host networking, NTP, and libvirt
storage pools and networks is supported.
* Adds a ``base_path`` variable to simplify configuration of paths. This is
used to set the default value of ``image_cache_path`` and
``source_checkout_path``. The default value of the base path may be set by
the ``$KAYOBE_BASE_PATH`` environment variable.
* Adds a ``virtualenv_path`` variable to configure the path on which to create
virtual environments.
* Uses the CentOS 7 cloud image for the seed VM by default.
* Adds a command to deprovision the seed VM, ``kayobe seed vm deprovision``.
* Adds support for configuration of Juniper switches.
* Adds support for bonded (LAG) host network interfaces.
* Adds support for the overlay docker storage driver on the seed and overcloud
hosts.
* Improves the Vagrant development environment, and provides configuration for
a single controller with a single network.
* Adds support for building customised Ironic Python Agent (IPA) deployment
images using Diskimage Builder (DIB). These can be built using the commands
``kayobe seed deployment image build`` and
``kayobe overcloud deployment image build``.
* Adds a command to save overcloud introspection data,
``kayobe overcloud introspection data save``.
* Separates the external network into external and public networks. The public
network carries public API traffic, and is configured via
``public_net_name``.
* Adds a ``network`` group, with networking and load balancing services moved
to it. The group is a subgroup of the ``controllers`` group by default.
* Decomposes the overcloud inventory into top level, components, and services.
This allows a deployer to customise their inventory at various levels, by
providing a custom inventory template for one or more sections of the
inventory.
* Adds support for configuration of sysctl parameters on the seed, seed
hypervisor and overcloud hosts.
* Adds an **inspection-store** container for storage of workload hardware
inspection data in environments without Swift.
* Adds configuration of gatewys in provisioning and inspection networks.
* Adds support for free-form configuration of Glance.
* Adds support for Ubuntu Ansible control hosts.
* Adds support for passing through host variables from kayobe to kolla-ansible.
By default ``ansible_host``, ``ansible_port``, and
``ansible_ssh_private_key_file``.
Upgrade Notes
-------------
* It is no longer necessary to set the ``seed_vm_interfaces`` variable, as
the seed VM's network interfaces are now determined by the standard
``seed_network_interfaces`` variable.
* If using a CentOS 7 cloud image for the seed VM, it is no longer necessary to
set the ``seed_vm_root_image`` variable.
* The default value of ``kolla_enable_haproxy`` has been changed to ``True``.
* If using a custom inventory, a ``network`` group should be added to it. If
the Ansible control hosts are providing networking services, then the
``network`` group should be a subgroup of the ``controllers`` group.
* The ``overcloud_groups`` variable is now determined more intelligently, and
it is generally no longer necessary to set it manually.
* The provisioning network is now used to access the TFTP server during
workload hardware inspection.
* A default gateway may be advertised to compute nodes during workload
inspection, allowing access to an ironic inspector API on the internal API
network.
