Vladimir Kozhukalov 1a885ddd1f Update deployment documentation
Recently we updated our test jobs so that all of them
use the `deploy-env` Ansible role which utilizes the
Kubeadm to deploy the test Kubernetes cluster.

The role works for both multi-node and single-node
environments. Although the deployment of Kubernetes itself
is out of scope of Openstack-Helm, we recommen using this
role to deploy test and development Kubernetes clusters.
So at the moment there is no need to provide
different sets of tools single-node and multi-node test envs.
Now this is a matter of the Ansible inventory file.

Also the deployment procedure of OpenStack on top of Kubernetes
using Helm is the same for multi-node and single-node clusters
because it only relies on the Kubernetes API.

We will be improving the `deploy-env` role even futher and
we will be cleaning up the deployment scripts and the documentation
so to provide a clear experience for the Openstack-Helm users.

Before deployment

Before proceeding with the steps outlined in the following sections and executing the actions detailed therein, it is imperative that you clone the essential Git repositories containing all the required Helm charts, deployment scripts, and Ansible roles. This preliminary step will ensure that you have access to the necessary assets for a seamless deployment process.

mkdir ~/osh
cd ~/osh
git clone https://opendev.org/openstack/openstack-helm.git
git clone https://opendev.org/openstack/openstack-helm-infra.git

All further steps assume these two repositories are cloned into the ~/osh directory.

Also before deploying the OpenStack cluster you have to specify the OpenStack and the operating system version that you would like to use for deployment. For doing this export the following environment variables

export OPENSTACK_RELEASE=2023.2
export CONTAINER_DISTRO_NAME=ubuntu
export CONTAINER_DISTRO_VERSION=jammy

Note

The list of supported versions can be found here </readme>.
