Architecture

Hosts in the System

In a system deployed by Kayobe we define a number of classes of hosts.

Control host

The control host is the host on which kayobe, kolla and kolla-ansible will be installed, and is typically where the cloud will be managed from.

Seed host

The seed host runs the bifrost deploy container and is used to provision the cloud hosts. Typically the seed host is deployed as a VM but this is not mandatory.

Cloud hosts

The cloud hosts run the OpenStack control plane, storage, and virtualised compute services. Typically the cloud hosts run on bare metal but this is not mandatory.

Bare metal compute hosts:

In a cloud providing bare metal compute services to tenants via ironic, these hosts will run the bare metal tenant workloads. In a cloud with only virtualised compute this category of hosts does not exist.

Note

In many cases the control and seed host will be the same, although this is not mandatory.

Networks

Kayobe's network configuration is very flexible but does define a few default classes of networks. These are logical networks and may map to one or more physical networks in the system.

Overcloud out-of-band network

Name of the network used by the seed to access the out-of-band management controllers of the bare metal overcloud hosts.

Overcloud provisioning network

The overcloud provisioning network is used by the seed host to provision the cloud hosts.

Workload out-of-band network

Name of the network used by the overcloud hosts to access the out-of-band management controllers of the bare metal workload hosts.

Workload provisioning network

The workload provisioning network is used by the cloud hosts to provision the bare metal compute hosts.

Internal network

The internal network hosts the internal and admin OpenStack API endpoints.

External network

The external network hosts the public OpenStack API endpoints and provides external network access for the hosts in the system.
