Oh, Mark Goddard, our Project Team Lead (PTL), CC'ed, can likely help
with that content.
Sad that someone removed it from slideshare...

Personally, I am not using Kayobe because I have my own approach to
baremetal provisioning and management and did not need it (this may
change, who knows).
If you have your own way too, then you might be better off using Kolla
Ansible directly (you will still get a lot).
If you need to come up with "the way" - then starting with Kayobe
might be more appropriate.
The above logic is obviously oversimplified as you would likely need
to evaluate Kayobe if it fits your needs as well.
Kayobe docs might help too: https://docs.openstack.org/kayobe/latest/
