Steven Dake bbcf22cc12 Prepare for MD to RST conversion
Sphinx and OpenStack documentation standards require the use of
RST formatted documentation.  In order to get out docs integrated
into docs.openstack.org, the following steps must be taken:

1. we need to first convert the documentation to RST
2. sphinx support must be added to the repository
3. project-config must be updated with a publish-docs job

The ability to pubish to docs.openstack.org is a privilege only
available to Big Tent projects.  As a result, we should be taking
advantage of this to help spread the word on our implementation.

Note the documentation was converted with a tool called pandoc
the syntax of which was:
pandoc -f markdown -t rst file.md > z
mv z file.rst

In order for git to preserve history the files have to be git mv'ed
in one commit followed by the pandoc operation in a separate commit.

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.

[Big Tent Governance]: http://governance.openstack.org/reference/projects/index.html [Docker]: http://docker.com/ [Ansible]: http://ansible.com/

Getting Started

Please get started by reading the [Developer Quickstart][] followed by the [Ansible Deployment Guide][].

[Developer Quickstart]: https://github.com/stackforge/kolla/blob/master/docs/dev-quickstart.md [Ansible Deployment guide]: https://github.com/stackforge/kolla/blob/master/docs/ansible-deployment.md]

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][]. Images reside in the Docker Hub [Kollaglue repo][].

[image building guide]: https://github.com/stackforge/kolla/blob/master/docs/image-building.md [Docker images]: https://docs.docker.com/userguide/dockerimages/ [Kollaglue repo]: https://registry.hub.docker.com/repos/kollaglue/

The Kolla developers build images in the kollaglue namespace for the following services for every tagged release and implement Ansible deployment for them:

  • Ceilometer
  • Cinder
  • Glance
  • Haproxy
  • Heat
  • Horizon
  • Keepalived
  • Keystone
  • Mariadb + galera
  • Mongodb
  • Neutron (linuxbridge or neutron)
  • Nova
  • Openvswitch
  • Rabbitmq

` $ sudo docker search kollaglue` A list of the upstream built docker images will be shown.

Directories

  • ansible - Contains Anible playbooks to deploy Kolla in Docker containers.
  • compose - Contains the docker-compose files serving as a compose reference. Note compose support is removed from Kolla. These are for community members which want to use Kolla container content without Ansible.
  • demos - Contains a few demos to use with Kolla.
  • devenv - Contains an OpenStack-Heat based development environment.
  • docker - Contains a normal Dockerfile based set of artifacts for building docker. This is planned for removal when docker_templates is completed.
  • docs - 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_templates - 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.
  • vagrant - Contains a vagrant VirtualBox-based development environment.
