Open Stack

 Hi Major, Jean, Jesse and Kevin,

Hope you are all doing well.

I have been interacting with you lately on openstack mailing lists and IRC chats regarding Designate component inclusion in Openstack-Ansible, so that its deployment can be made similar to other components.

As recommended, I have opened a spec also at : https://review.openstack.org/#/c/254161/ and uploaded the sample designate.yml file at https://github.com/prpandey26/Designate/blob/master/designate.yml#L3.

To proceed with the configuration and role setup, I have the following queries-
I believe for making the starting the initial setup, only conf.d and env.d needs to be altered. 
In env.d, I edited the designate.yml file, then in conf.d, what host changes exactly I need to make for designate component?Jean suggested that "after making changes in env.d and conf.d, ansible will create the new entries for your component". 
Do I have to run anything for this? At what location will the new entries be created? Is it with respect to the roles for designate automatically created?As a next step, I am planning to add role directories for de
signate component 'os-designate-yml' file in '/opt/openstack-ansible/playbooks' and a seperate roles directory for 'os-designate' at '/opt/openstack-ansible/playbooks/roles'. Can you please let me know if this has to be created by us or env.d and conf.d will directly created it?
I have not seen any document yet for the extra-containers to be added to openstack-ansible, however I checked only specs have been created for ironic, trove, etc. 

Hence, any help from you regarding the steps in sequence will be highly appreciated.


Thanks & Regards

That's a good start.  However, you'll need to sign up[1] to be an
OpenStack developer (agreeing to some contracts and things so you can
commit this into the upstream repositories.

Once you do that, you'll want to assemble a spec for the changes you
want to make.  A spec defines what you hope to accomplish and gives
everyone on the project a chance to review the steps you're planning to
take.  You can look at a spec I wrote[2] for ideas and then use the
openstack-ansible-specs template[3] to begin working on your spec.

A spec isn't busywork -- it shows the intention of what you're trying
to do and allows other people on the project to point out areas of
concern and improvement.

There is a push lately to use independent role repositories, but I'm
not sure if that's a hard requirement at the moment.  Jesse Pretorius
or Kevin Carter may be better people to talk about that in this thread.

Details on independent role repositories are in a spec[4] as well.

We can help you with this in IRC once you've completed the other steps
I've listed above.  Join us on Freenode in #openstack-ansible and we
will be happy to help you along the way!
