Open Stack

Hello Kayobians,

I thought it is about time to do another update.

# Releases

Work continues on  master adding Kayobe features. We're still deploying the
Queens release of OpenStack, although the Rocky patch [1] gets refreshed
every so often to ensure we're not lagging behind.

I've been thinking about whether it makes sense to continue to target
Kayobe releases against a specific release of OpenStack. It's relatively
decoupled in general.

* What if we could specify the version of OpenStack deploy from a list of
supported versions?
* What if we could specify a version of Kolla Ansible to install, and what
if Kolla Ansible supported deploying different releases of each service?
This is often how clouds end up in practice.

This would increase our test matrix somewhat, but could allow us to stay
current while still adding Kayobe features for OpenStack releases that
operators are actually using.

# Recently added features

* Ansible 2.5 support [2]
* Add support for a separate admin network [3]

# Upgrades

There is currently no coverage of upgrades in CI. This leaves us in a
dangerous position. I've started work on an upgrade job [4], which seems
almost ready. We first deploy Pike, smoke test, upgrade to Queens, then
smoke test again. Hopefully this job will influence development of a
similar job in Kolla Ansible during the Stein cycle that ensures issues are
caught upstream where possible.

# PTG

There won't be an official Kayobe session at the PTG in Denver, although I
and a few others from the team will be present. If anyone would like to
meet to discuss Kayobe then don't be shy. Please get in touch either via
email or IRC (mgoddard).

# New faces

We've seen a few new faces in #openstack-kayobe recently. Welcome, and keep
asking questions - they help us improve our software and documentation.
