But what I not sure I understand is with openstack-helm is «where» the openstack will run ? Is it going to run on worker manage by the k8s ?
Openstack components (APIs, agents, etc.) like any other workloads that you usually deploy on top of K8s will be running on K8s worker nodes. This assumes VMs also will be running on K8s worker nodes but VMs will NOT be running in containers and will NOT be managed by K8s. Openstack will be fully responsible for managing VMs. You can set labels on k8s nodes and this is how Openstack-Helm defines which Openstack components to run on which nodes.

I have been using openstack-ansible with some luck and the community has been helpful. For managing the hardware I have been using the-foreman which makes booting and installing the OS on systems much easier.
For Kolla there is a book "Mastering OpenStack" that has just been released so it should be a good guide.

So I think if you are looking for bare metal deployment specifically, OpenStack-Ansible would be pretty much your only option here. And OSA supports integration with external Ceph clusters (as rest tooling ofc). Well....I was not very clear about the deployment. I got some bare metal server on what I will run openstack. If the tool can deploy directly on

bare metal that's the cherry on the top. But I can also install the OS manually on the bare metal then deploy the openstack. I don't have 100 servers so manually deployment of the OS is not a issue.
But both kolla/helm require having docker/k8s. And kolla-ansible is For Helm I can understand, but in which way kolla need a k8s ? I've a OKD (openshift) so I can deploy helm chart.
still an independent project. While openstack-helm leveraging kolla Ok thanks
images - these are maintained by different groups as of today. So can I say
kolla :--> build docker image for openstack
then I can deploy myself with whatever those image to run a openstack, or I can use kolla-ansible to deploy kolla images ?
Also, I don't really think you will get limited in OpenStack features specifically due to deployment tooling - they all will provide you Ok. Thanks.
with roughly the same feature set, just a completely different concepts of how your infrastructure is managed. Ok. Thanks
