They bring great value to OpenStack because most of them are used to<br>
deploy OpenStack in production, versus a development environment.<br>
<br>
Over the last few years, deployment tools project have been trying<br>
to solve similar challenges. Recently we've seen some desire to<br>
collaborate, work on common topics and resolve issues seen by all<br>
these tools.<br>
<br>
Some examples of collaboration:<br>
<br>
* OpenStack Ansible and Puppet OpenStack have been collaborating on<br>
Continuous Integration scenarios but also on Nova upgrades orchestration.<br>
* TripleO and Kolla share the same tool for container builds.<br>
* TripleO and Fuel share the same Puppet OpenStack modules.<br>
* OpenStack and Kubernetes are interested in collaborating on configuration<br>
management.<br>
* Most of tools want to collect OpenStack parameters for configuration<br>
management in a common fashion.<br>
* [more]<br>
<br>
The big tent helped to make these projects part of OpenStack, but no official<br>
group was created to share common problems across tools until now.<br>
<br>
During the Atlanta Project Team Gathering in 2017 [1], most of current active<br>
deployment tools project team leaders met in a room and decided to start actual<br>
collaboration on different topics.<br>
This resolution is a first iteration of creating a new working group<br>
for Deployment Tools.<br>
<br>
The mission of the Deployment Working Group would be the following::<br>
<br>
To collaborate on best practices for deploying and configuring OpenStack<br>
in production environments.<br>
<br>
<br>
Note: in some cases, some challenges will be solved by adopting a technology<br>
or a tool. But sometimes, it won't happen because of the deployment tool<br>
background. This group would have to figure out how we can increase<br>
this adoption and converge to the same technologies eventually.<br>
<br>
<br>
For now, we'll use the wiki to document how we work together:<br>
<a href="https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Deployment" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wiki.openstack.org/<wbr>wiki/Deployment</a><br>
<br>
The etherpad presented in [1] might be transformed in a Wiki page if<br>
needed but for now we expect people to update it.<br>

<br>
Let's make OpenStack deployments better and together ;-)<br>
