Hi everyone, In the "software" section of the openstack.org website, the deployment tools page is not very helpful for users looking into picking a way to deploy OpenStack: https://www.openstack.org/software/project-navigator/deployment-tools Furthermore, each detailed page is a bit dry. We do not display deliverable tags as most are irrelevant: https://www.openstack.org/software/releases/rocky/components/openstack-helm This was discussed in a forum session in Denver[1], and the outcome was that we should develop a taxonomy of deployment tools capabilities and characteristics, that would help users understand the technologies the various tools are based on, their prerequisites, which services and versions they cover, etc. The web UI should allow users to search deployment tools based on those tags. [1] https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/DEN-deployment-tools-capabilities As a first step, volunteers from that session worked on a draft categorized list[2] of those tags. If you are interested, please review that list, add to it or comment: [2] https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/deployment-tools-tags The next steps are: - commit the detailed list of tags (action:ttx) - apply it to existing deployment tools (action:deploy tools teams) - implementation those tags and data in the openstack website (action:jimmymcarthur) - maybe expand to list 3rd-party installers in a separate tab (tbd) The first two next steps will be implemented as patches to the osf/openstack-map repository, which already contains the base YAML data used in the software pages. Thanks for your help, -- Thierry Carrez (ttx)
