Mark Goddard 4acbf52867 Untangle configuration of kolla and kolla-ansible
Kolla (container images) and kolla-ansible (container deployment) are
separate concerns, and should be treated as such. Configuration
variables have been added for kolla-ansible which were previously shared
between the two projects:

kolla_venv -> kolla_ansible_venv
kolla_ctl_install_type -> kolla_ansible_ctl_install_type

Also, we introduce specific variables for the source code repository
checkout paths, which were previously both based on
source_checkout_path:

kolla_source_path
kolla_ansible_source_path

These changes help us to cleanly separate the configuration of paths on
the local (Ansible control) host, from those on the managed (target)
hosts. This is important because the local paths may be specific to the
environment in which the user is running kayobe, but the remote paths
are relatively fixed and specific to the cluster.

Kolla-ansible Configuration

Kayobe relies heavily on kolla-ansible for deployment of the OpenStack control plane. Kolla-ansible is installed locally on the ansible control host (the host from which kayobe commands are executed), and kolla-ansible commands are executed from there.

Local Environment

Environment variables are used to configure the environment in which kolla-ansible is installed and executed.

Kolla-ansible environment variables
Variable Purpose Default

$KOLLA_CONFIG_PATH

Path on the ansible control host in which the kolla-ansible configuration will be generated.

/etc/kolla

$KOLLA_SOURCE_PATH

Path on the ansible control host in which the kolla-ansible source code will be cloned.

$PWD/src/kolla-ansible

$KOLLA_VENV_PATH

Path on the ansible control host in which the kolla-ansible virtualenv will be created.

$PWD/venvs/kolla-ansible
