Host layout
-----------
The recommended layout contains a minimum of five hosts (or servers).
- Three control plane infrastructure hosts
- One logging infrastructure host
- One compute host
To use the optional Block Storage (cinder) service, a sixth host is
recommended. Block Storage hosts require an LVM volume group named
*cinder-volumes*. See `the section called "Installation
requirements" <overview-requirements.html>`_ and `the section
called "Configuring LVM" <targethosts-configlvm.html>`_ for more information.
The hosts are called *target hosts* because Ansible deploys the OSA
environment within these hosts. The OSA environment also recommends a
*deployment host* from which Ansible orchestrates the deployment
process. One of the target hosts can function as the deployment host.
At least one load balancer **must** be used to manage the traffic among
the target hosts. This can be any load balance of any type (hardware, haproxy,
etc). While OpenStack-Ansible has playbooks and roles for deploying haproxy,
we recommend for deployers to use physical load balancers when moving to
production.
Infrastructure Control Plane target hosts contain the following
services:
- Infrastructure:
- Galera
- RabbitMQ
- Memcached
- Logging
- Repository
- OpenStack:
- Identity (keystone)
- Image service (glance)
- Compute management (nova)
- Networking (neutron)
- Orchestration (heat)
- Dashboard (horizon)
Infrastructure Logging target hosts contain the following services:
- Rsyslog
Compute target hosts contain the following services:
- Compute virtualization
- Logging
(Optional) Storage target hosts contain the following services:
- Block Storage scheduler
- Block Storage volumes
