<p>OpenStack Ansible is my recommendation, but haven't tried
Tripple-O just to have that said. We've found the documentation
(standard ops docs on o.o) pretty good, and that together with
OpenStack Ansible team that are super helpful it's been working
great. <br>

I’ve previously bootstrapped a public cloud of a similar size
using Foreman and Puppet. However, that was over five years ago -
if I was doing it again today I’d go with Kolla-Ansible. Point
taken regarding the documentation, but if you can make your way
onto Freenode you’ll find the folks in #openstack-kolla a very
helpful bunch.

<div class="">Hi Melvin and Arkady,<br class="">
<br class="">
Thank you for the replies.<br class="">
<br class="">
I have been using TripleO on a small scale (10~20
nodes per<br class="">
deployment) and it worked well. That said, I am not
sure what capacity<br class="">
it is designed for and whether it is still suitable to
go beyond 2~300<br class="">
nodes.<br class="">
<br class="">
@Melvin: I attempted to try Kolla-Ansible and
OpenStack-Ansible, but<br class="">
failed to find documentations that provide coverages
as detail as<br class="">
TripleO's. Do you happen to know any resources or
books on the<br class="">
subjects for me to work on?<br class="">
<br class="">
@Arkady: May I ask if you used a Spine/Leaf network
topology (i.e.<br class="">
using a fully meshed layer 3 network above ToR) to
deploy the 3 racks?<br class="">
<br class="">
Thank you to all!<br class="">
<br class="">
Best regards,<br class="">

Personally I have found openstack-ansible to be
robust and very useful for a production environment.
Not only the tool itself but also the help offered
by those whose develop and use it. There is a bit of
a learning curve however. At the end of the day I
think the best solution is the one that works for
you and if you have a chance you should try each one
to see which is most suitable. I have not tried
TripleO, Airship in a bottle did not work out the
box, Kolla-Ansible is useful also but gave me fits
troubleshooting, and OpenStack-Ansible I mentioned
the learning curve. I do not deal with a lot of
manual deploying these days but if I was spinning up
a public cloud personally I would roll with
OpenStack-Ansible<br class="">

Hello stackers,<br class="">
<br class="">
What deployment tools would be of your choice for
deploying a public<br class="">
IaaS with an initial size of 200~300 nodes? Would
TripleO be suitable<br class="">
for this cluster size?<br class="">
<br class="">
Thank you very much. Wish you all a happy holiday
season!<br class="">
