<div>Hi Alex,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Currently we have puppet modules[0] to configure our software which has components on Openstack Controller, Cinder node and Nova node.</div>
<div>As per document[1] we successfully tried out role specific configuration[2].</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So, does it mean that if we have an overcloud image with our packages inbuilt and we call our configuration scripts using role specific configuration, we may not need puppet modules[0] ? Is it acceptable deployment method?</div>

<div>Hi,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am tying to deploy a software on openstack controller on the overcloud.</div>
<div>One way to do this is by modifying ‘overcloud image’ so that all packages of</div>
<div>our software are added to image and then run overcloud deploy.</div>
<div>Other way is to write heat template and puppet module which will deploy the</div>
<div>required packages.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Question: Which of above two approaches is better?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Note: Configuration part of the software will be done via separate heat</div>
<div>template and puppet module.</div>
<div><br>

<div>Usually you do both. Depending on how the end user is expected to</div>
<div>deploy, if they are using the TripleoPackages service[0] in their</div>
<div>role, the puppet installation of the package won't actually work (we</div>
<div>override the package provider to noop) so it needs to be in the</div>
<div>images. That being said, usually there is also a bit of puppet that</div>
<div>needs to be written to configure the end service and as a best</div>
<div>practice (and for development purposes), it's a good idea to also</div>
<div>capture the package in the manifest.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
