Open Stack

Hi Daniel & Catherine,

I think we should definitely write the documentation, I will be doing
that and sending a patch for review for it.

Then Daniel and I can also work on the integration of this script, make
sure script and documentation are in sync and have a commit for that so
people can try it and Catherine can determine whether it is going to be
helpful and release some of the time she spends helping people configure
tempest or not.

The one problem I see is the maintenance overhead of this script, but we
have that overhead now distributed amongst all the people running the
tests and it ends up increasing the barrier of entry to running the
tests for end users.

If RefStack is not the right place for it we could also have it as a
helper script in the Defcore repo, so I think this work is valuable if
we implement it/document it the right way.

Thanks,
Gema
