I'm wondering what would be the goal of ansible-role-nodepool and what
it would orchestrate exactly. I did not find README that explains it,
and digging into the code makes me think you try to prepare nodepool
images but I don't exactly see why.

Since we already have puppet-nodepool, I'm curious about the purpose of
this role.
IMHO, if we had to add such a new repo, it would be under
openstack-infra namespace, to be consistent with other repos
(puppet-nodepool, etc).

os-ansible-deployment aims to setup OpenStack services in containers
(LXC). I don't see relation between os-ansible-deployment (openstack
deployment related) and ansible-role-nodepool (infra related).

To me, it's unclear how and why we are going to use ansible-role-nodepool.
Could you explain with use-case?
