This commit changes seed-images jobs to build seed and overcloud container images, each with a customisable regex. The rocky9 job continues to build only the base image, although for both overcloud and seed instead of seed only. The other seed-images jobs (centos9s and ubuntu-jammy) now build all default overcloud images. This takes longer and can fail for various reasons unrelated to Kayobe, but this is fine since the jobs are marked as experimental. This is to attempt to catch bugs in the image build code, such as the ones fixed by [1]. Note that the ubuntu-jammy job does not build the bifrost-deploy seed image because the build is currently timing out. The centos9s job builds it successfully. Also update release documentation to remind developers to run experimental jobs. [1] https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/kayobe/+/921012 Change-Id: Idf705d9cf41766a897444898ac31c4635b70ec16
Kayobe
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.
Features
- Heavily automated using Ansible
- kayobe Command Line Interface (CLI) for cloud operators
- Deployment of a seed VM used to manage the OpenStack control plane
- Configuration of physical network infrastructure
- Discovery, introspection and provisioning of control plane hardware using OpenStack bifrost
- Deployment of an OpenStack control plane using OpenStack kolla-ansible
- Discovery, introspection and provisioning of bare metal compute hosts using OpenStack ironic and ironic inspector
- Virtualised compute using OpenStack nova
- Containerised workloads on bare metal using OpenStack magnum
- Control plane monitoring using Prometheus and Grafana.
- Log aggregation using OpenSearch and OpenSearch Dashboards.
