I think it has potential to fill a kolla-cli like role. There are
deployments of kayobe that do not use the bare metal deployment
features. In that case you can still use the host configuration
features (networking, local storage, etc). There are also some
configuration patterns encouraged by kayobe such as version controlled
configuration (e.g.
https://github.com/SKA-ScienceDataProcessor/alaska-kayobe-config), and
we intend to add support for multiple environments (dev/staging/prod)
or regions within a single configuration repo. This does add some
complexity on top of kolla-ansible, so there is a trade off here.

I think the main impact on existing kolla developers will be increased
noise, due to covering kayobe topics in meetings and IRC. I wouldn't
expect kolla cores to start working on kayobe unless they wish to. We
already have contributors with interest only in kolla or
kolla-ansible.

I do understand your concern given the recent experience with
kolla-cli. In that case the contributors left the community shortly
after the project became official and we did not really integrate it
well. It also did not see much adoption, for whatever reason. Of
course I can't predict the future, but I would say that kayobe is
quite different. It has been open source from the beginning, and now
has a significant user base. The kayobe team isn't going anywhere. We
hope that including the project as a kolla deliverable would allow it
to continue to grow.
