Kolla Overview
==============
The Kolla project is a member of the OpenStack `Big Tent
Governance <http://governance.openstack.org/reference/projects/index.html>`__.
Kolla's mission statement is:
::
To provide production-ready containers and deployment tools for operating
OpenStack clouds.
Kolla provides `Docker <http://docker.com/>`__ containers and
`Ansible <http://ansible.com/>`__ playbooks to meet Kolla's mission.
Kolla is highly opinionated out of the box, but allows for complete
customization. This permits operators with little experience to deploy
OpenStack quickly and as experience grows modify the OpenStack
configuration to suit the operator's exact requirements.
Getting Started
===============
Learn about Kolla by reading the documentation online
`docs.openstack.org <http://docs.openstack.org/developer/kolla/>`__.
Get started by reading the `Developer
Quickstart <http://docs.openstack.org/developer/kolla/quickstart.html>`__.
Docker images
=============
The `Docker images <https://docs.docker.com/userguide/dockerimages/>`__
are built by the Kolla project maintainers. A detailed process for
contributing to the images can be found in the `image building
guide <http://docs.openstack.org/developer/kolla/image-building.html>`__.
The Kolla developers build images in the `kolla` namespace for every tagged
release and implement an Ansible roles for many but not all of them.
You can view the available images on `Docker Hub
<https://hub.docker.com/u/kolla/>`__ or with the Docker CLI::
$ sudo docker search kolla
