Architecture
Hosts in the System
In a system deployed by Kayobe we define a number of classes of hosts.
- Control host
-
The control host is the host on which kayobe, kolla and kolla-ansible will be installed, and is typically where the cloud will be managed from.
- Seed host
-
The seed host runs the bifrost deploy container and is used to provision the cloud hosts. Typically the seed host is deployed as a VM but this is not mandatory.
- Cloud hosts
-
The cloud hosts run the OpenStack control plane, storage, and virtualised compute services. Typically the cloud hosts run on bare metal but this is not mandatory.
- Bare metal compute hosts:
-
In a cloud providing bare metal compute services to tenants via ironic, these hosts will run the bare metal tenant workloads. In a cloud with only virtualised compute this category of hosts does not exist.
Note
In many cases the control and seed host will be the same, although this is not mandatory.
Networks
Kayobe's network configuration is very flexible but does define a few default classes of networks. These are logical networks and may map to one or more physical networks in the system.
- Overcloud provisioning network
-
The overcloud provisioning network is used by the seed host to provision the cloud hosts.
- Workload provisioning network
-
The workload provisioning network is used by the cloud hosts to provision the bare metal compute hosts.
- Internal network
-
The internal network hosts the internal and admin OpenStack API endpoints.
- External network
-
The external network hosts the public OpenStack API endpoints and provides external network access for the hosts in the system.
