Hi,

Thanks for sharing your experience.

I am talking about HA of only OpenStack services and not the hosted
applications or the OpenStack instances they are hosted on. So, for now it
is not the requirement.

But from your response, it seems that you have deployed OpenStack with
Kolla-Ansible in multi node, multi-Controller architecture, right? And any
experience with Kolla-Ansible from OpenStack release upgrade perspective?
Is ZDT of OpenStack services feasible while upgrading?

Regards,
Amit

Hi amit,

I’m using kolla-ansible as a solution on our own infrastructure, however,
be aware that because of the nature of Openstack you wont be able to
achieve zero downtime if your hosted application do not take advantage of
the distributed natre of ressources or if they’re not basically Cloud ready.

Cheers.
