Open Stack

Rhonda,

When I looked at fuel for an icehouse deployment at a former company the
concern was that is was proprietary but that is no longer the case.
There¹s at least 4 options available that I can think of offhand within
the OpenStack projects OSA (ansible), puppet, kolla and fuel and that¹s
not even taking into consideration projects such as heat which can be tied
into a chef server.

Between the IRC channels and mailing lists you¹ll get a lot of
information, suggestions as well as opinions.:)

Look forward to meeting you in Austin!

Amy
