This phase if about migrating the docker based deployment onto Kubernetes. These phase requires work on several areas: Kubernetes deployment, OpenStack deployment on Kubernetes, configuration management, etc. While I've been diving into all of these areas, this email is about the second point, OpenStack deployment on Kubernetes. There are several tools we could use for this task. kolla-kubernetes, openstack-helm, ansible roles, among others. I've looked into these tools and I've come to the conclusion that TripleO would be better of by having ansible roles that would allow for deploying OpenStack services on Kubernetes. The existing solutions in the OpenStack community require using Helm. While I like Helm and both, kolla-kubernetes and openstack-helm OpenStack projects, I believe using any of them would add an extra layer of complexity to TripleO,It's hard to estimate that complexity w/o having a PoC of such an integration. We should come up with a final choice once we have it done. My vote would go for investing engineering resources into solutions that have problems already solved, even by the price of added complexity (but that sort of depends...). Added complexity may be compensated with removed complexity (like those client -> Mistral -> Heat -> Mistral -> Ansible manipulations discussed in the mail thread mentioned below [0])
I agree it's hard to estimate but you gotta draw the line somewhere. I actually spent time on this and here's a small PoC of ansible+mariadb+helm. I wrote the pyhelm lib (took some code from the openstack-helm folks) and I wrote the ansible helm module myself. I'd say I've spent enough time on this research. I don't think getting a full PoC working is worth it as that will require way more work for not much value since we can anticipate some of the complexities already. As far as the complexity comment goes, I disagree with you. I don't think you're evaluating the amount of complexity that there *IS* already in TripleO and how adding more complexity (layers, states, services) would make things worse for not much extra value. By all means, I might be wrong here so, do let me know if you're seeing something I'm not. Flavio -- @flaper87 Flavio Percoco
