The CLI command is: kayobe seed deployment image build This command will build Ironic Python Agent (IPA) kernel and ramdisk images using the Diskimage Builder (DIB) ironic-agent element. The built images will be copied to the appropriate location in the bifrost_deploy container on the seed. This allows us to build a customised image with site- or hardware- specific extensions.
Kayobe
Deployment of Scientific OpenStack using OpenStack kolla.
Kayobe is an open source tool for automating deployment of Scientific OpenStack onto a set of bare metal servers. Kayobe is composed of Ansible playbooks, a python module, and makes heavy use of the OpenStack kolla project. Kayobe aims to complement the kolla-ansible project, providing an opinionated yet highly configurable OpenStack deployment and automation of many operational procedures.
