Virtual Undercloud VS. Baremetal Undercloud
|
|
-------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
When deploying the overcloud on baremetal nodes, there is the option of using an undercloud
|
|
deployed on a baremetal machine or creating a virtual machine (VM) on that same baremetal machine
|
|
and using the VM to serve as the undercloud.
|
|
|
|
The advantages of using a VM undercloud are:
|
|
|
|
* The VM can be rebuilt and reinstalled without reprovisioning the entire baremetal machine
|
|
* The tripleo-quickstart default workflow is written for a Virtual Environment deployment.
|
|
Using a VM undercloud requires less customization of the default workflow.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: When using a VM undercloud, but baremetal nodes for the overcloud
|
|
deployment, the ``overcloud_nodes`` variable in tripleo-quickstart
|
|
must overwritten and set to empty.
