Kolla Overview ============== The Kolla project is a member of the OpenStack `Big Tent Governance `__. Kolla's mission statement is: :: Kolla provides production-ready containers and deployment tools for operating OpenStack clouds. Kolla provides `Docker `__ containers and `Ansible `__ playbooks to meet Kolla's mission. 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 =============== The learn about Kolla, you can find the documentation online on `docs.openstack.org `__. You can get started by reading the `Developer Quickstart `__. Kolla provides images to deploy the following OpenStack projects: - `Aodh `__ - `Ceilometer `__ - `Cinder `__ - `Designate `__ - `Glance `__ - `Gnocchi `__ - `Heat `__ - `Horizon `__ - `Ironic `__ - `Keystone `__ - `Magnum `__ - `Mistral `__ - `Murano `__ - `Nova `__ - `Neutron `__ - `Swift `__ - `Tempest `__ - `Zaqar `__ As well as these infrastructure components: - `Ceph `__ implementation for Cinder, Glance and Nova - `Openvswitch `__ and Linuxbridge backends for Neutron - `MongoDB `__ as a database backend for Ceilometer and Gnocchi - `RabbitMQ `__ as a messaging backend for communication between services. - `HAProxy `__ and `Keepalived `__ for high availability of services and their endpoints. - `MariaDB and Galera `__ for highly available MySQL databases Docker Images ============= The `Docker images `__ are built by the Kolla project maintainers. A detailed process for contributing to the images can be found in the `image building guide `__. The Kolla developers build images in the `kollaglue` namespace for every tagged release and implement an Ansible deployment for them. You can view the available images on `Docker Hub `__ or with the Docker CLI:: $ sudo docker search kollaglue Directories =========== - ansible - Contains Ansible playbooks to deploy Kolla in Docker containers. - demos - Contains a few demos to use with Kolla. - dev/heat - Contains an OpenStack-Heat based development environment. - dev/vagrant - Contains a vagrant VirtualBox/Libvirt based development environment. - doc - Contains documentation. - etc - Contains a reference etc directory structure which requires configuration of a small number of configuration variables to achieve a working All-in-One (AIO) deployment. - docker - Contains jinja2 templates for the docker build system. - tools - Contains tools for interacting with Kolla. - specs - Contains the Kolla communities key arguments about architectural shifts in the code base. - tests - Contains functional testing tools.
