Hey all,

While doing work on the Mistral to Ansible port I was looking at the openstack overcloud plan commands. These are;

- openstack overcloud plan create
- openstack overcloud plan delete
- openstack overcloud plan deploy
- openstack overcloud plan list
- openstack overcloud plan export

There has been a useful comment on the review that export is actually useful still. Harald said;

"I find the possibility to download the plan on a failed deployment quite valuable. It allows me to read the heat templates in a more human friendly fully rendered version compared to the j2, run yaml validation tools etc. There is *magic* adding stuff to plan's that I can't see by simply running process templates tools."

This seems like a good reason, although it could be argued that Swift is a better tool to download a container.

 

I believe none of these commands make sense in a post-TripleO UI world. There is no other way to interact and update a plan. Deploys are always done via "openstack overcloud deploy" and this deletes the contents of the plan container and repopulates it with the local files[1].

I am therefore proposing that we remove these commands and skip the normal deprecation process. https://review.opendev.org/#/c/704581/1

What do you think?

Thanks,
Dougal
