<div>Hey folks,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I wanted to provide a brief update on where we are headed with Kolla. Initially Kolla began as a POC to show that containers could be used to deploy OpenStack with the long term plan of integrating that functionality into TripleO. That goal has not changed.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The tripleo community wants baby steps not outright replacement of the infrastructure as was proposed by using Kubernetes in Kolla as a dependency in this review [1]. Our first step in this process will be to create three new container types. We will
create a controller node, a storage node, and a compute node. We have proven that compute can be used.[2] Further, one of our community members is working on a DIB elements->container tool here [3] and we plan to use this along with our other R&D in the
area to integrate container tech into tripleo.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I’m not quite sure how it will all come together, but after numerous discussions with folks from the tripleo and heat teams, I believe we can find a path forward.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Regards</div>
