kolla has various containerization tools. one based on ansible, another based on kubernetes.

Thanks Curtis, Robert, David and Mohammed for your responses.

As a follow up question, do you use any deployment automation tools for setting up the HA control plane? I can see the value of deploying each service in separate virtual environment or containers but automating such deployment requires developing some new tools. Openstack-ansible is one potential deployment tool that I am aware of but that had limited support CentOS.

    I'm not aware of any actual case studies, but this is the (current)
    default model for tripleo and its downstream product, so there would
    be a lot of deployments like this out there in the wild. In the
    default deployment everything but compute is on these 3 nodes running
    on the physical OS.

    Do you mean 3 physical servers with everything running on the physical OS?

    My opinion is that 3 physical nodes to run all the control plane
    services is quite common, but in custom deployments I either run vms
    and containers on those or just containers. I'd use at least lxc to
    segregate services into their own containers.

    I would also suggest that using those same physical servers as
    north/south "network nodes" (which you probably don't have as I
    believe workday is a big opencontrail user) or hosts for stateful
    metric systems (ie. mongodb) can cause issues performance wise, but
    co-located mysql/galera and rabbit on the same nodes as the rest of
    the openstack control plane hasn't been a problem for me yet, but with
    containers I could split them out fairly easily if needed.

    Thanks,
    Curtis.
