Install OpenStack services from distribution packages
OpenStack-Ansible installs the OpenStack services from the source. Whilst this is great in terms of flexibility, it creates some problems such as:
- Long deployment times since wheel packages need to be build and distributed.
- Unsupported installations by distributions. The versions of OpenStack services built from source do not necessarily match what distributions test together as part of their integration and verification process so it's hard for them to provide support for such installations. As a result of which, operators have limited options when seeking technical support for their deployments.
The purpose of this blueprint is to add an additional installation method to all the OpenStack ansible roles in which the services will be installed using the packages provided by the distributions themselves. The benefit of this new method is twofold:
- Use supported packages by distributions and provide feedback back to them. This benefits both distributions and operators since both ends use packages which have passed integration and functional testing before being released.
- Shorten deployment times since binary packages are used instead of building new ones from source.
