Mark Goddard 9dce0488ea Merge pre-reno release notes with reno notes
Prior to the Queens release, release notes were added to the kayobe
sphinx documentation. During the Queens release cycle they were changed
to be generated via the reno tool.

This change moves the pre-Queens release notes to the reno source,
ensuring that all release notes are available in one place.

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.
