Overcloud deployment images can now be built via: kayobe overcloud deployment image build This should be done prior to running kayobe overcloud service deploy. In order to build IPA images, the ipa_build_images variable should be set to True. In this case, these images will be used by the overcloud's ironic inspector service during hardware inspection, and by ironic during provisioning.
Kayobe
Deployment of Scientific OpenStack using OpenStack kolla.
Kayobe is an open source tool for automating deployment of Scientific OpenStack onto a set of bare metal servers. Kayobe is composed of Ansible playbooks, a python module, and makes heavy use of the OpenStack kolla project. Kayobe aims to complement the kolla-ansible project, providing an opinionated yet highly configurable OpenStack deployment and automation of many operational procedures.
