As we're working through this effort we believe co-locating all of the Ansible tasks/roles/libraries/plugins throughout the code base into a single purpose-built repository will assist us in streamlining and simplifying. Structurally, at this time, most of tripleo will remain the same. However, the inclusion of tripleo-Ansible will allow us to create more focused solutions which are independently testable, much easier understand, and simple to include into the current heat template deployment methodologies. While a straight port of the existing Ansible tasks will not be entirely possible, the goal of this ongoing effort will be zero impact on our existing workflow and solutions.<br class="">><br class="">> To reigniting this effort, I've put up a review to create a new "transformation" squad[0] geared toward building the structure around tripleo-ansible[1] and converting our current solutions into roles/playbooks/libraries/plugins. Initially, we'll be focused on our existing code base; however, long term, I believe it makes sense for this squad to work across projects to breakdown deployment barriers for folks using similar technologies.<br class=""><br class="">+1<br class=""><br class="">> We're excited to get this effort rolling again and would love to work with anyone and everyone throughout the community.
