This specification outlines some of the design goals and practices to be used to implement an Ansible multi-node deployment tool. The goals of this work are simplicity, optimizing deployment time, and Operator flexibility. The long term objective is for Kolla to become the de-facto solution for deploying OpenStack in containers. Partially Implements: blueprint ansible-multi Co-Authored-By: Sam Yaple <sam@yaple.net> Change-Id: I8c5d8b7e69c4ed54624061428e2fbde6af6a1815
Kolla Overview
The Kolla project is part of the OpenStack TripleO effort, focused on deploying OpenStack services using Docker containers. The initial system spec provides additional details of Kolla and the use cases it addresses.
Getting Started
Deployment on bare metal is a complex topic which is beyond the scope of the project at this time. An environment to simplify the deployment of a single or multi-node Kolla cluster is required for development purposes. As a result, a Heat template has been created for deploying a Kolla cluster to an existing OpenStack cloud.
Docker Images
The Docker images are built by the Kolla project maintainers. A detailed process for contributing to the images can be found here. Images reside in the Docker Hub Kollaglue repo.
The Kolla developers build images in the kollaglue namespace for the following services:
- Glance
- Heat
- Keystone
- Mariadb
- Nova
- Rabbitmq
- Neutron
- Mongodb
- Ceilometer
- Horizon
- Zaqar
- Magnum
$ sudo docker search kollaglue
A list of the upstream built docker images will be shown.
Directories
- docker - contains artifacts for use with docker build to build appropriate images
- compose - contains the docker-compose files defining the container sets
- tools - contains different tools for interacting with Kolla
- devenv - A collection of tools and resources for managing a Kolla development environment.
