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. On 2025-03-05 12:50, Albert Shih wrote:

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 the 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
Regards.
