Adds a new CI job, kayobe-seed-centos, that deploys a single VM as a seed host. The VM provided by Zuul is configured as the seed, rather than a seed hypervisor that provisions a seed VM using nested virt. This approach should be more reliable, faster, and easier to get working, at the expense of not testing the seed hypervisor code paths. Currently the seed services are deployed, but not tested. A future change could test discovery and provisioning of an overcloud host using the seed. Change-Id: Iefe16215af6f1a9fb8ec78094cd6bd76a82a040a Story: 2001655 Task: 6683
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.
