Disk and container image builds tend to be fairly unreliable. With 3 voting seed jobs all building images, this can introduce instability into the CI jobs. This change adds a non-voting kayobe-seed-images-centos8s job, which does the following: * Builds IPA images * Builds an overcloud host image * Builds a base container image Similar Rocky and Ubuntu jobs are added to the experimental pipeline, and may be run by commenting 'check experimental' in gerrit. The existing kayobe-seed-* jobs no longer build images. Change-Id: Idecda342f3ab86733e8d59061458d44af834dbb0
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.
