Kayobe is to become an OpenStack-related project, and as such will use Gerrit for code reviews and Storyboard for issue and feature tracking. The README and CONTRIBUTING documents have been updated to reflect that, and a standard OpenStack HACKING document has been added.

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.
