Open Stack

Hi Dani,

To touch on the provisioining we presently have no plans to introduce baremetal provisioning via a PXE, Razor, djeep, etc… Our present thinking is to allow people to use whatever they want to provision the hosts and then come in with OSAD, post the OS deployment, to install OpenStack.

As for the LXC containers they are used for infrastructure components within the cloud deployment. By default your instances are run under KVM which would allow you to sick to standard VM instances.If you didn’t want the separation and scalability that the LXC containers provide the infrastructure components, you could set the flag, “is_metal” to true within the `openstack_environment.yml` file which would install some or all of the various services, that we presently support, on the hosts specified within your Anisble inventory.

I hope that helps / answers your questions, we are working on documentation to better spell out all of the things that you can do with the system, so watch for that soon. Also feel free to ping me @cloudnull or others within the #openstack-ansible channel or pop by one of our meetings [ https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Meetings/openstack-ansible ] there’s a bunch of us around that are more than happy to help / answer any more questions that you might have.

The project has come a very long way from initial inception and taken a lot of work to excise our original vendor logic from the stack and transform it into a community-driven architecture and deployment process. If you haven’t yet looked at the `os-ansible-deployment` project on StackForge, we'd love for you to take a look now [ https://github.com/stackforge/os-ansible-deployment ]. We offer an OpenStack solution orchestrated by Ansible and powered by upstream OpenStack source. OSAD is a "batteries included" OpenStack deployment solution that delivers OpenStack as the developers intended it: no modifications to nor secret sauce in the services it deploys. This release includes 436 commits that brought the project from Rackspace Private Cloud technical debt to an OpenStack community deployment solution. I'd like to recognize the following people (from Git logs) for all of their hard work in making the OSAD project successful:

Thank you to everyone that contributed on the project so far and we look forward to working with more of you as we march on.
