Kolla Overview
The Kolla project is a member of the OpenStack Big Tent Governance.
Kolla's mission statement is:
To provide production-ready containers and deployment tools for operating
OpenStack clouds.Kolla provides Docker containers and Ansible 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.
Get started by reading the Developer Quickstart.
Docker images
The Docker images are built by the Kolla project maintainers. A detailed process for contributing to the images can be found in the image building guide.
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 or with the Docker CLI:
$ sudo docker search kollaOpenStack services
Kolla provides images to deploy the following OpenStack projects:
- Aodh
- Barbican
- Bifrost
- Ceilometer
- Cinder
- CloudKitty
