hi Emilien, thanks for sharing this. I have started experimenting with edge deployments to help out on the split-controplane spec [1], which Steven started addressing I was able to deploy multiple stacks and isolated Ceph clusters, there are some bits missing to provision a working configuration for nova-compute to the edge services, but we could probably collect/export the necessary outputs from the parent stack (eg. rabbit connection infos) and feed the edge stacks with those. A much bigger challenge seems to me that for some services (eg. glance or cinder) we need to "refresh" the configuration of the controlplane nodes to push the details of the newly deployed ceph clusters (backends) of the edge nodes as backends for the controlplane services. Alternatively, we could opt for the deployment of cinder-volume instances on the edge nodes, but we would still have the same problem for glance and possibly other services. I'd like to discuss further this topic at the PTG to gether more feedback so I added a bullet to the pad with the Stein PTG topics [2]. 1. https://blueprints.launchpad.net/tripleo/+spec/split-controlplane 2. https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/tripleo-ptg-stein -- Giulio Fidente GPG KEY: 08D733BA __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
