Hello,

My question is about OpenStack-Ansible vs. Kolla-Ansible.  While I am sensitive to the effort that has been put into both of these projects, what I really need right now is the most fool-proof way to deploy and manage a small production cluster for academic instructional use.

I have been working for a couple months with OpenStack-Ansible to deploy a small (3-node) test cluster on VirtualBox VMs in preparation for a larger deployment on real hardware - 6 to 10 nodes.  

It has been slow going, at least partially due to some issues and limitations with VirtualBox.  However, deploying a test cluster on VMs still seems preferable to just diving deployment on real hardware and going through multiple scrubs/reinstalls.

Today I saw that Mark asked a question about Kolla-Ansible.  So, as a 'beginner', should I shift and look at Kolla-Ansible, or should I stay the course and continue with Openstack-Ansible?  What are the pros and cons of each?

Thanks.
