Kolla Overview
The Kolla project is a member of the OpenStack Governance.
Kolla’s mission statement is:
To provide tools to create production-ready containers and to provide deployment tools for operating OpenStack clouds.
Kolla provides tools to create containers that can be run under either Docker or Podman <https://podman.io/>, as well as Ansible playbooks to deploy OpenStack on baremetal or virtual machine to meet Kolla’s mission.
Kolla has out of the box defaults for a working basic deployment, and also implements complete customization. This model permits operators with minimal experience to deploy OpenStack quickly and as the operator’s experience grows modify the OpenStack configuration to suit the operator’s exact requirements.
Getting Started
Learn about Kolla by reading the documentation online Kolla.
Get started by reading the Kolla Ansible Developer Quickstart.
