VMware in Kolla
Overview
Kolla can deploy the Nova and Neutron Service(s) for VMware vSphere. Depending on the network architecture (NsxV or DVS) you choose, Kolla deploys the following OpenStack services for VMware vSphere:
For VMware NsxV:
- nova-compute
- neutron-server
For VMware DVS:
- nova-compute
- neutron-server
- neutron-dhcp-agent
- neutron-metadata-agent
Kolla can deploy the Glance and Cinder services using VMware datastore as their backend. Ceilometer metering for vSphere is also supported.
Because the vmware-nsx drivers for neutron use completely different architecture than other types of virtualization, vmware-nsx drivers cannot coexist with other type of virtualization in one region. In neutron vmware-nsx drivers, neutron-server acts like an agent to translate OpenStack actions into what vSphere/NSX Manager API can understand. Neutron does not directly takes control of the Open vSwitch inside the VMware environment but through the API exposed by vSphere/NSX Manager.
