Hi,

Adding [oslo] tag for more visibility.

We already talked about this topics during Vancouver Summit:
https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/liberty-summit-design-puppet

Real output is documented here:
http://my1.fr/blog/puppet-openstack-plans-for-liberty/

And I already initiated some code 8 months ago:
https://github.com/redhat-cip/puppet-oslo

At this time, we decided not to go this way because some OpenStack
projects were not using the same version of oslo.*. sometimes.
So it could have lead to something like:
"nova using newest version of oslo messaging parameters comparing to
murano" (that's an example, probably wrong...), so puppet-oslo would
have been risky to use here.
I would like to know from Oslo folks if we can safely configure Oslo
projects the same way during a cycle (Ex: Mitaka, then N, etc) or if
some projects are using too old versions of Oslo that makes impossible a
consistent configuration across all OpenStack projects.

So indeed, I'm still convinced this topic should be brought alive again.
We would need to investigate with Oslo team if it makes sense and if we
can safely do that for all our modules.
If we have positive feedback, we can create the new module and
refactorize our modules that will consume puppet-oslo.
It will help a lot in keeping our modules consistent and eventually drop
a lot of duplicated code.

Thoughts?
