openstack/kayobe — Week of 2026-05-23

Container coverage. The headline change broadens what Kayobe actually deploys, wiring up a substantial set of additional containers so operators get more of the Kolla catalog out of the box rather than bolting it on by hand (review.opendev.org/c/openstack/kayobe/+/922402). Alongside it, support landed for custom Watcher configuration files, a new os_family variable to simplify cross-distro role logic, and an option to bind the inspection store to the internal network rather than exposing it on the public side.

2026.1 release prep. Kayobe was cut over to the OpenStack 2026.1 release and resynced with Kolla Ansible for the same cycle, with a parallel bump of pinned Ansible collections and roles. IPA documentation was reconciled with the defaults the role has actually been shipping.

Stability. A real fix landed for the network connectivity check on modern Ansible, the trust-store playbook stopped gathering facts unnecessarily, kolla_ansible_host_vars fact caching was removed, the missing ansible-collection-kolla install path was repaired, and the deprecated ansible_managed variable was retired. Baremetal node create arguments are now properly quoted.

Tooling and CI. Five backports excluding docker-ce 29.5.1 on CentOS/Rocky were merged and then promptly reverted across branches once upstream cleared, repos moved to baseurl, and the deprecated cp -n flag was dropped from CI scripts.
