Steven Dake ed2f908a4c Remove compose from the repostiory since its dead code
Several people over the liberty cycle committed to maintaining
compose, but it was never completed.  Rather than carry compose
in our repoistory until the end of time in a broken state I propose
removing it.  If someone comes along and wants to resseruct the code
and make it functional in the future, I'd be 100% open to merge a
patch in the future which reintroduces this functionality.  In the
meantime it is confusing to users which ask me on a daily basis if
compose is supported which I have to go into a 10 minute monologue
about why its in the repository.

Fortunately git contains full history so we can always revert this
change at a later time if someone wants to actually fixt his code
base up and make it useable in some way.  I think the proper answer
is a seperate repoistory (kolla-compose) which contains any compose
related bits.

Please consider removing since nobody is using this code and its
dead.

Kolla Overview

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.

Getting Started

Please get started by reading the Developer Quickstart followed by the Ansible Deployment Guide.

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. Images reside in the Docker Hub Kollaglue repo.

The Kolla developers build images in the kollaglue namespace for the following services for every tagged release and implement Ansible deployment for them:

  • Ceilometer
  • Cinder
  • Glance
  • Haproxy
  • Heat
  • Horizon
  • Keepalived
  • Keystone
  • Mariadb + galera
  • Mongodb
  • Neutron (linuxbridge or neutron)
  • Nova
  • Openvswitch
  • Rabbitmq
$ sudo docker search kollaglue

A list of the upstream built docker images will be shown.
