<br>
It looks like (maybe just superficially) that Kubernetes is
simply a combination of (nova + docker driver) = container
schedualer and (heat) = orchestration. They both schedule
containers, will need advanced scheduling like "ensure these two
containers are on different servers (nova ServerGroups),
autoscale resources, hook up things together, have a json
document that describes the desired state, etc... If that's the
case, it seems odd to use an OpenStack competing product to
deploy a competitor of Kubernetes. Two software stacks to learn
how to debug rather then just one.<br>

Kevin,<br>
<br>
Thanks for the feedback.<br>
<br>
There are two orthogonal points you address re competitiveness. One
is the deployment program (which Kolla intends to be a part of).
The deployment program includes an implementation (tripleo).
TripleO is focused around using OpenStack to deploy OpenStack.
Kolla is focused around using Kubernetes to deploy OpenStack. But
they both fit into the same program, and at some point they may even
be remerged into both using OpenStack to deploy OpenStack. Time
will tell.<br>
<br>
IMO Kubernetes is not competitive with OpenStack. The way in which
the Kolla project uses them is in fact complimentary. In a perfect
world OpenStack's container service (Magnum) + Heat could be used
instead of Kubernetes. The problem with that approach is the
container service for OpenStack is not functional and not integrated
into the release.<br>
<br>
It is indeed true that another software stack must be learned. We
hope to abstract most/all of the differences so the actual
maintenance difference (ie what must be learned) presents a small
learning footprint.<span class=""><br>

I don't see you stirring up trouble :) Essentially this project
proposes an alternative method for deploying OpenStack (ie not using
OpenStack, but using Kubernetes).<br>
<br>
I did run the idea by Robert Collins (current TripleO PTL) first
before we got cracking on the code base. He indicated the approach
was worth experimenting with.<br></div></blockquote><div> </div><div>So I think it's a cool idea and worth looking at as you have said.

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.<br>

for delivering hermetically sealed applications and
has about 620 technical contributors [1]. We intend to

any distro support, so if folks want to add new Linux
distribution to Kolla please feel free to submit
patches :)<br>

level is a Docker scheduler produced by and used

roadmap.<br>

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].<br>
