Add openvswitch containers. Openvswitch is seperated into two running containers: ovs-db-server ovs-vswitchd The db container is what everything interacts with. Neutron tells the db its information, the vswitchd container reads this db and talks to the kernel module. The db does not need to be persistent since the plugin agent will repopulate all the information each time it is restarted and the plugin agent is required to be restarted when the ovs-vswitchd container is stopped/started to ensure the ports are setup properly. This container requires /run for the socket and /lib/modules:ro to load the appropriate host kernel module. This userspace tools and the kernel module do _not_ have to match versions. Additionally, even though it is recommended that the userspace tool be newer than the kernel version to take advantage of all the features, it is not required.

Kolla Overview
The Kolla project is part of the OpenStack TripleO effort, focused on deploying OpenStack services using Docker containers. The initial system spec provides additional details of Kolla and the use cases it addresses.
Getting Started
Deployment on bare metal is a complex topic which is beyond the scope of the project at this time. An environment to simplify the deployment of a single or multi-node Kolla cluster is required for development purposes. As a result, a Heat template has been created for deploying a Kolla cluster to an existing OpenStack cloud.
Docker Images
The Docker images are built by the Kolla project maintainers. A detailed process for contributing to the images can be found here. Images reside in the Docker Hub Kollaglue repo.
The Kolla developers build images in the kollaglue namespace for the following services:
- Glance
- Heat
- Keystone
- Mariadb
- Nova
- Rabbitmq
- Neutron
- Mongodb
- Ceilometer
- Horizon
- Zaqar
- Magnum
$ sudo docker search kollaglue
A list of the upstream built docker images will be shown.
Directories
- docker - contains artifacts for use with docker build to build appropriate images
- compose - contains the docker-compose files defining the container sets
- tools - contains different tools for interacting with Kolla
- devenv - A collection of tools and resources for managing a Kolla development environment.
