==============
Openstack-Helm
==============

Openstack-Helm is a fully self-contained Helm-based OpenStack deployment on
Kubernetes. It will provide baremetal provisioning, persistent storage,
full-stack resiliency, full-stack scalability, performance monitoring and
tracing, and an optional development pipeline (using Jenkins). This project,
along with the tools used within are community-based and open sourced.

Mission
-------

The goal for Openstack-Helm is to provide an incredibly customizable
*framework* for operators and developers alike. This framework will enable
end-users to deploy, maintain, and upgrade a fully functioning Openstack
environment for both simple and complex environments. Administrators or
developers can either deploy all or individual Openstack components along with
their required dependancies. It heavily borrows concepts from
`Stackanetes <https://github.com/stackanetes/stackanetes>`_ and `other complex
Helm application deployments <https://github.com/sapcc/openstack-helm>`_. This
project is meant to be a collaborative project that brings Openstack
applications into a `Cloud-Native <https://www.cncf.io/about/charter>`_ model.
