Hi,
I am a complete neophyte to this forum so I may have missed any earlier discussions on this topic if there have been any?
I am currently working on a proprietary legacy (Django based) "OpenStack Operations Manager" dashboard system that attempts to manage quotas, flavors, clusters and more across a very large distributed OpenStack deployment for multiple customers.
There are a number of potential shortcomings with our current dashboard system and I was wondering how other teams in other organizations with similar large Openstack deployments are handling these types of system management issues? The issues addressed are likely common to other large environments.
In particular what tools might exist upstream that allow system (particularly quota and flavor) management across large distributed Openstack environments?
I welcome any feedback, comments, suggestions and any other information regarding the tools that currently exist or may be planned for this purpose?
We are primarily cloud users not administrators but have been using the ansible cloud launcher role [0]. This has the ability to manage resources that are typically set by the administrator including quotas and flavors.
For image management we have nodepool [1] building images with disk image builder daily and uploading those images to the clouds we use.

Hope this helps, Clark
