As far as I know, OSA does not currently provide documented support for
deploying on a routed network topology. I haven't seen anything hinting
that was in the works, but I haven't been following OSA very closely.
The OpenStack components all support this topology, so I wouldn't be
surprised if you could hack something together which would work acceptably.

I am currently working on support for routed network deployments in
TripleO, and I am very interested in learning about other projects
which are working toward the same goal. There may be opportunities for
collaboration or code reuse.

Is anyone aware of any tools which will semi-automatically deploy and
configure OpenStack on a routed management network (with routed overlay
and other networks) like the OP is asking for?
