Thanks for the write up Eduardo. I thought you and Surya did a good job of
presenting and moderating those sessions.

[Openstack-operators] [kayobe][kolla] Announcing the release of Kayobe 4.0.0

2018-10-12 Thread Mark Goddard
Hi,

Announcing the release of Kayobe 4.0.0. This release includes support for
the Queens release of OpenStack, and is the first release of Kayobe built
using the OpenStack infrastructure.

Release notes:
https://kayobe-release-notes.readthedocs.io/en/latest/queens.html#relnotes-4-0-0-stable-queens
Documentation: https://kayobe.readthedocs.io

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release!

Looking forward, we intend to catch up with the OpenStack release cycle, by
making a smaller release with support for OpenStack Rocky, then moving
straight onto Stein.

Cheers,
Mark

Re: [Openstack-operators] [openstack-dev] [kolla][ptg] Denver PTG on-site or virtual

2018-08-17 Thread Mark Goddard
Whether there is a physical PTG session or not, I'd certainly like to meet
up with other folks who are using and/or contributing to Kolla, let's be
sure to make time for that.

As one of the lucky three kolleagues able to make the PTG, here's my

I agree that three is too small a number to justify an on-site PTG. I was
planning to split my time between kolla and ironic, so being able to focus
on one project would be beneficial to me, assuming the virtual PTG takes
place at a different time. I could still split my time if the virtual PTG
occurs at the same time.

I would be going anyway.

If the virtual PTG occurs at the same time, we could use the (oversized)
reserved room to dial into calls.

[Openstack-operators] Moving from distro packages to containers (or virtualenvs...)

2016-05-18 Thread Mark Goddard

We are currently in the middle of the transition to a containerized deployment 
solution for Cray's OpenStack-based System Management platform.

> * How did the transition go?

So far, so good.

> * Was/is kolla used or looked into? or something custom?

We evaluated both openstack-ansible and Kolla. Each has its advantages but 
Kolla won over thanks to its simplicity, speed of deployment and use of 
immutable containers. We're also using Kolla's ansible deployment tool.

> * How long did it take to do the transition from a package based
> solution (with say puppet/chef being used to deploy these packages)?

For the first iteration we're still using a package-based solution. This is 
largely because we have considerable infrastructure built up around this. We're 
using OpenStack's Anvil tool, which I know you are familiar with, Josh :).

Kolla supports installing from both packages and source, so we have the option 
of moving to source in future if it fits.

>* Follow-up being how big was the team to do this?

There are 4 of us working on this project. The work involved is considerably 
more than for an operator because we are building a platform based on OpenStack 
with multiple deployment environments. We estimated about 6 man-months.

>
> * What was the roll-out strategy to achieve the final container solution?

This will be difficult. As others have said, we expect to do this one service 
at a time, and will add considerable automation around it. Migrating stateful 
services such as the DB and nova-compute will need care.
