Deployment of containerised OpenStack to bare metal using kolla and bifrost
72d4d64609
In Kayobe hosts which are part of a Nova cell can be managed via the existing controller and compute groups. However, since Nova Cells are configured via group vars in Kolla Ansible we need some way of setting these. We could pass vars through to Kolla Ansible host vars using `kolla_overcloud_inventory_pass_through_host_vars` but the list of variables which may be set on a per cell basis is large and undefined. This change allows the user to directly specify Kolla Ansible group vars as part of Kayobe config, allowing the deployment of Nova Cells by Kayobe to be largely unchanged from the procedure documented in Kolla Ansible.

Kayobe
Kayobe enables deployment of containerised OpenStack to bare metal.
Containers offer a compelling solution for isolating OpenStack services, but running the control plane on an orchestrator such as Kubernetes or Docker Swarm adds significant complexity and operational overheads.
The hosts in an OpenStack control plane must somehow be provisioned, but deploying a secondary OpenStack cloud to do this seems like overkill.
Kayobe stands on the shoulders of giants:
- OpenStack bifrost discovers and provisions the cloud
- OpenStack kolla builds container images for OpenStack services
- OpenStack kolla-ansible delivers painless deployment and upgrade of containerised OpenStack services
To this solid base, kayobe adds:
- Configuration of cloud host OS & flexible networking
- Management of physical network devices
- A friendly openstack-like CLI
All this and more, automated from top to bottom using Ansible.
