Deploy fails when overriding the Nova release file

[Arnoud de Jonge]

I'm adding a release file for nova by setting /etc/kolla/config/nova/release. When I deploy, I get the error:

TASK [nova-cell : Copying 'release' file for nova_compute] *********************
skipping: [noud-controller1] => (item=/etc/kolla/config/nova/release)
skipping: [noud-controller2] => (item=/etc/kolla/config/nova/release)
skipping: [noud-controller3] => (item=/etc/kolla/config/nova/release)
fatal: [noud-compute1]: FAILED! => {"msg": "Failed to get information on remote file (/etc/kolla/nova-compute/release): Permission denied"}
fatal: [noud-compute2]: FAILED! => {"msg": "Failed to get information on remote file (/etc/kolla/nova-compute/release): Permission denied"}

When I check the code I see that for this task, the `become: true` line is not set. When I manually add the deploy is successful.

https://github.com/openstack/kolla-ansible/blob/9a45b3db514ac2e2c3b3cb054b975eab6d158fe3/ansible/roles/nova-cell/tasks/config.yml#L184

We are on OpenStack Yoga on Ubuntu 22.04. But the become is also missing in the master branch.

The workaround is to set a become in the Ansible inventory and run everything as root.

Arnoud.
