Dave McCowan 34c2cb8e64 Implement Option for Two VIPs to separate API traffic
To improve security, operators have asked for two VIPs for
their cloud.

VIP 1 is the internal VIP that can reach internal and admin endpoints.
In addition, the internal VIP can also reach other internal services,
such as the database and message services.
VIP 2 is the external VIP that can only reach public endpoints.

With one VIP only, all services are reached at the same address.

To add a second VIP, this patch adds two new configuration parameters.

kolla_external_vip_address: is an IPv4 address to use for created VIP
kolla_external_vip_interface: is the network interface to use for VIP
In this scenario, the first VIP (the internal VIP), is defined by
the original parameters (kolla_internal address and network_interface).

When using two VIPs, the existing kolla_external_address parameter
should be/point to/resolve to the kolla_external_vip_address.

Closes-bug: 1535333

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

Learn about Kolla by reading the documentation online docs.openstack.org.

Get started by reading the Developer Quickstart.

Kolla provides images to deploy the following OpenStack projects:

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 many but not all of 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.
