    Support multiple nova cells · 78a828ef
    Doug Szumski authored
    
    This patch adds initial support for deploying multiple Nova cells.
    
    Splitting a nova-cell role out from the Nova role allows a more granular
    approach to deploying and configuring Nova services.
    
    A new enable_cells flag has been added that enables the support of
    multiple cells via the introduction of a super conductor in addition to
    cell-specific conductors. When this flag is not set (the default), nova
    is configured in the same manner as before - with a single conductor.
    
    The nova role now deploys the global services:
    
    * nova-api
    * nova-scheduler
    * nova-super-conductor (if enable_cells is true)
    
    The nova-cell role handles services specific to a cell:
    
    * nova-compute
    * nova-compute-ironic
    * nova-conductor
    * nova-libvirt
    * nova-novncproxy
    * nova-serialproxy
    * nova-spicehtml5proxy
    * nova-ssh
    
    This patch does not support using a single cell controller for managing
    more than one cell. Support for sharing a cell controller will be added
    in a future patch.
    
    This patch should be backwards compatible and is tested by existing CI
    jobs. A new CI job has been added that tests a multi-cell environment.
    
    ceph-mon has been removed from the play hosts list as it is not
    necessary - delegate_to does not require the host to be in the play.
    
    Documentation will be added in a separate patch.
    
    Partially Implements: blueprint support-nova-cells
