Adds the kayobe-seed-vm-centos8 CI job to configure the Zuul VM as a seed hypervisor, and use nested virt to provision a seed VM. This ensures that the seed hypervisor code paths are tested. The job uses a Cirros image for the seed VM rather than the usual CentOS cloud image. This is to reduce bandwidth required to download the image. It does mean that the resulting seed VM cannot be used as a seed, but nested virt would make this slow and unreliable anyway. Cirros does not load cdrom drivers by default, so we add the configdrive as a disk rather than a cdrom device.

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.
