Then you still need all the kubernetes api/daemons for the master and slaves. 
If you ignore the complexity this adds, then it seems simpler then just using 
openstack for it. but really, it still is an under/overcloud kind of setup, 
your just using kubernetes for the undercloud, and openstack for the overcloud?

Thanks,
Kevin

I have to ask what is the motivation and benefits we get from integrating 
Kubernetes into Openstack? Would be really useful if you can elaborate and 
outline some use cases and benefits Openstack and Kubernetes can gain.

Alan,

I am either unaware or ignorant of another Docker scheduler that is currently 
available that has a big (100+ folks) development community.  Kubernetes meets 
these requirements and is my main motivation for using it to schedule Docker 
containers.  There are other ways to skin this cat - The TripleO folks wanted 
at one point to deploy nova with the nova docker VM manager to do such a thing. 
 This model seemed a little clunky to me since it isn't purpose built around 
containers.

As far as use cases go, the main use case is to run a specific Docker container 
on a specific Kubernetes "minion" bare metal host.  These docker containers are 
then composed of the various config tools and services for each detailed 
service in OpenStack.  For example, mysql would be a container, and tools to 
configure the mysql service would exist in the container.  Kubernetes would 
pass config options for the mysql database prior to scheduling and once 
scheduled, Kubernetes would be responsible for connecting the various 
containers together.

Regards
-steve

A few questions/comments:

How much golang will people be exposed to with this addition?

Joshua,

I expect very little.  We intend to use Kubernetes as an upstream project, 
rather then something we contribute to directly.


Seeing that this could be the first 'go' using project it will be interesting 
to see where this goes (since afaik none of the infra support exists, and 
people aren't likely to familiar with go vs python in the openstack community 
overall).

What's your thoughts on how this will affect the existing openstack container 
effort?

I don't think it will have any impact on the existing Magnum project.  At some 
point if Magnum implements scheduling of docker containers, we may add support 
for Magnum in addition to Kubernetes, but it is impossible to tell at this 
point.  I don't want to derail either project by trying to force them together 
unnaturally so early.


I see that kubernetes isn't exactly a small project either (~90k LOC, for those 
who use these types of metrics), so I wonder how that will affect people 
getting involved here, aka, who has the resources/operators/other... available 
to actually setup/deploy/run kubernetes, when operators are likely still just 
struggling to run openstack itself (at least operators are getting used to the 
openstack warts, a new set of kubernetes warts could not be so helpful).

Yup it is fairly large in size.  Time will tell if this approach will work.

This is an experiment as Robert and others on the thread have pointed out :).

Hi folks,

I'm pleased to announce the development of a new project Kolla which is Greek 
for glue :). Kolla has a goal of providing an implementation that deploys 
OpenStack using Kubernetes and Docker. This project will begin as a StackForge 
project separate from the TripleO/Deployment program code base. Our long term 
goal is to merge into the TripleO/Deployment program rather then create a new 
program.



Docker is a container technology for delivering hermetically sealed 
applications and has about 620 technical contributors [1]. We intend to produce 
docker images for a variety of platforms beginning with Fedora 20. We are 
completely open to any distro support, so if folks want to add new Linux 
distribution to Kolla please feel free to submit patches :)



Kubernetes at the most basic level is a Docker scheduler produced by and used 
within Google [2]. Kubernetes has in excess of 100 technical contributors. 
Kubernetes is more then just a scheduler, it provides additional functionality 
such as load balancing and scaling and has a significant roadmap.


The #tripleo channel on Freenode will be used for Kolla developer and user 
communication. Even though we plan to become part of the Deployment program 
long term, as we experiment we believe it is best to hold a separate weekly one 
hour IRC meeting on Mondays at 2000 UTC in #openstack-meeting [3].


This project has been discussed with the current TripleO PTL (Robert Collins) 
and he seemed very supportive and agreed with the organization of the project 
outlined above. James Slagle, a TripleO core developer, has kindly offered to 
liase between Kolla and the broader TripleO community.



I personally feel it is necessary to start from a nearly empty repository when 
kicking off a new project. As a result, there is limited code in the repository 
[4] at this time. I suspect folks will start cranking out a kick-ass 
implementation once the Kolla/Stackforge integration support is reviewed by the 
infra team [5].



The initial core team is composed of Steven Dake, Ryan Hallisey, James Lebocki, 
Jeff Peeler, James Slagle, Lars Kellogg-Sedman, and David Vossel. The core team 
will be reviewed every 6 weeks to add fresh developers.


Please join the core team in designing and inventing this rockin' new 
technology!


Regards
-steve
