Kolla-ansible Configuration¶

Global Variables¶

Kolla-ansible uses a single file for global variables, globals.yml. Kayobe provides configuration variables for all required variables and many of the most commonly used the variables in this file. Some of these are in $KAYOBE_CONFIG_PATH/kolla.yml, and others are determined from other sources such as the networking configuration in $KAYOBE_CONFIG_PATH/networks.yml.

# Use a custom tag for the nova-api container image.
nova_api_tag: v1.2.3

Passwords¶

Kolla-ansible auto-generates passwords to a file, passwords.yml. Kayobe handles the orchestration of this, as well as encryption of the file using an ansible vault password specified in the KAYOBE_VAULT_PASSWORD environment variable, if present. The file is generated to $KAYOBE_CONFIG_PATH/kolla/passwords.yml, and should be stored along with other kayobe configuration files. This file should not be manually modified.

---
# Dictionary containing custom passwords to add or override in the Kolla
# passwords file.
kolla_ansible_custom_passwords: >
  {{ kolla_ansible_default_custom_passwords |
     combine({'my_custom_password': 'correcthorsebatterystaple'}) }}

Service Configuration¶

Kolla-ansible’s flexible configuration is described in the kolla-ansible service configuration documentation. We won’t duplicate that here, but essentially it involves creating files under a directory which for users of kayobe will be $KOLLA_CONFIG_PATH/config. In kayobe, files in this directory are auto-generated and managed by kayobe. Instead, users should create files under $KAYOBE_CONFIG_PATH/kolla/config with the same directory structure. These files will be templated using Jinja2, merged with kayobe’s own configuration, and written out to $KOLLA_CONFIG_PATH/config.

The following files, if present, will be templated and provided to kolla-ansible. All paths are relative to $KAYOBE_CONFIG_PATH/kolla/config. Note that typically kolla-ansible does not use the same wildcard patterns, and has a more restricted set of files that it will process. In some cases, it may be necessary to inspect the kolla-ansible configuration tasks to determine which files are supported.
