This patch adds initial support for deploying multiple Nova cells. Splitting a nova-cell role out from the Nova role allows a more granular approach to deploying and configuring Nova services. A new enable_cells flag has been added that enables the support of multiple cells via the introduction of a super conductor in addition to cell-specific conductors. When this flag is not set (the default), nova is configured in the same manner as before - with a single conductor. The nova role now deploys the global services: * nova-api * nova-scheduler * nova-super-conductor (if enable_cells is true) The nova-cell role handles services specific to a cell: * nova-compute * nova-compute-ironic * nova-conductor * nova-libvirt * nova-novncproxy * nova-serialproxy * nova-spicehtml5proxy * nova-ssh This patch does not support using a single cell controller for managing more than one cell. Support for sharing a cell controller will be added in a future patch. This patch should be backwards compatible and is tested by existing CI jobs. A new CI job has been added that tests a multi-cell environment. ceph-mon has been removed from the play hosts list as it is not necessary - delegate_to does not require the host to be in the play. Documentation will be added in a separate patch.

Kolla-Ansible Overview
The Kolla-Ansible is a deliverable project separated from Kolla project.
Kolla-Ansible deploys OpenStack services and infrastructure components in Docker containers.
Kolla's mission statement is:
To provide production-ready containers and deployment tools for operating
OpenStack clouds.Kolla is highly opinionated out of the box, but allows for complete customization. This permits operators with little experience to deploy OpenStack quickly and as experience grows modify the OpenStack configuration to suit the operator's exact requirements.
Getting Started
Learn about Kolla-Ansible by reading the documentation online Kolla-Ansible.
