Hey Cecilia,

Sorry it took a bit to get back with you. BUT you're in luck as OSA has
upgrade guides! Now you'll need to go from Newton to Ocata to Pike to
Queens, but here are the related links:

https://docs.openstack.org/openstack-ansible/ocata/upgrade-guide/index.html
https://docs.openstack.org/openstack-ansible/pike/user/index.html
https://docs.openstack.org/openstack-ansible/queens/admin/upgrades/major-upgrades.html

If you have any questions or run into any problems, please hit us up on
#openstack-ansible on Freenode.

Thanks,

Amy (spotz)
