The Kolla project is a member of the OpenStack Big Tent Governance. Kolla's mission statement is:
Kolla provides production-ready containers and deployment tools for
operating OpenStack clouds.
Kolla provides Docker containers and Ansible playbooks to meet Kolla's mission. Kolla is highly
opinionated out of the box, but allows for complete customization. This permits operators with
little experience to deploy OpenStack quickly and as experience grows modify the OpenStack
configuration to suit the operator's exact requirements.
Kolla provides images to deploy the following OpenStack projects:
Aodh
Ceilometer
Cinder
Designate
Glance
Gnocchi
Heat
Horizon
Ironic
Keystone
Magnum
Manila
Mistral
Murano
Nova
Neutron
Swift
Tempest
Trove
Zaqar
As well as these infrastructure components:
Ceph implementation for Cinder, Glance and Nova
Openvswitch and Linuxbridge backends for Neutron
MongoDB as a database backend for Ceilometer and Gnocchi
RabbitMQ as a messaging backend for communication between services.
HAProxy and Keepalived for high availability of services and their endpoints.
MariaDB and Galera for highly available MySQL databases
Heka A distributed and scalable logging system for openstack services.
Docker Images
The Docker images are built by the Kolla project maintainers. A detailed process for
contributing to the images can be found in the image building guide.
The Kolla developers build images in the kollaglue namespace for every tagged release
and implement an Ansible deployment for many but not all of them.
You can view the available images on Docker Hub or with the Docker CLI:
$ sudo docker search kollaglue
