​Nice!

​
I don't have a strong opinion
​about this but what I might recommend would be to chat with the
openshift-ansible [1] and the kolla-ansible [2] folks.​

​I'm happy to do the introductions if necessary !​

Their models, requirements or context might be different than ours but at
the end of the day, it's a set of Ansible roles and playbooks to install
something.
It would be a good idea just to informally chat about the reasons why their
things are set up the way they are, what are the pros, cons.. or their
challenges.

I'm not saying we should structure our things like theirs.
What I'm trying to say is that they've surely learned a lot over the years
these projects have existed and it's surely worthwhile to chat with them so
we don't repeat some of the same mistakes.

Generally just draw from their experience, learn from their conclusions and
take that into account before committing to any particular model we'd like
to have in TripleO ?
