One way to improve the performance of Ansible is through fact caching. Rather than gather facts in every play, we can configure Ansible to cache them in a persistent store. An example Ansible configuration for doing this is as follows: [defaults] gathering = smart fact_caching = jsonfile fact_caching_connection = ./facts fact_caching_timeout = 86400 This does not affect Kolla Ansible however, since we use the setup module which unconditionally gathers facts regardless of the state of the cache. This gets worse with large inventories limited to a small batch of hosts via --limit or serial, since the limited hosts must gather facts for all others. One way to detect whether facts exist for a host is via the 'module_setup' variable, which exists only when facts exist. This change uses the 'module_setup' fact to determine whether facts need to be gathered for hosts outside of the batch. For hosts in the batch, we switch from using the setup module to gather_facts on the play, which can use the 'smart' gathering logic.

Kolla-Ansible
The Kolla-Ansible is a deliverable project separated from Kolla project.
Kolla-Ansible deploys OpenStack services and infrastructure components in Docker containers.
Kolla's mission statement is:
To provide production-ready containers and deployment tools for operating
OpenStack clouds.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-Ansible by reading the documentation online Kolla-Ansible.
