Bartosz Bezak 2f447f6545 Move to Rocky Linux 9
CentOS Stream 8 support has been dropped. Migration path will be present
in Yoga release - as a followup change.

MichaelRigart.interfaces does not support custom routes for
NetworkManager yet. It has been disabled in CI for Rocky Linux 9
temporarily.

Non-voting CentOS Stream 9 CI overcloud job is using RL9 container
images (as kolla CI is not building CS9 images anymore).

OS Distribution

As of the Wallaby 10.0.0 release, Kayobe supports multiple Operating System (OS) distributions. See the support matrix <support-matrix-supported-os> for a list of supported OS distributions. The same OS distribution should be used throughout the system.

The os_distribution variable in etc/kayobe/globals.yml can be used to set the OS distribution to use. It may be set to either centos or or rocky or ubuntu, and defaults to rocky.

The os_release variable in etc/kayobe/globals.yml can be used to set the release of the OS. When os_distribution is set to centos it may be set to 9-stream, and this is its default value. When os_distribution is set to ubuntu it may be set to jammy, and this is its default value. When os_distribution is set to rocky it may be set to 9, and this is its default value.

These variables are used to set various defaults, including:

  • Bootstrap users
  • Overcloud host root disk image build configuration
  • Seed VM root disk image
  • Kolla base container image

Example: using Ubuntu

In the following example, we set the OS distribution to ubuntu:

os_distribution: "ubuntu"

Example: using Rocky

In the following example, we set the OS distribution to rocky:

os_distribution: "rocky"
