Open Stack

Hola,

With the approval of the tripleo-quickstart spec[1], it is time to
actually start doing the work. The first work item is moving it to the
openstack git. The spec talks about moving it as is, and this would
still be fine.

However, there are roles in the tripleo-quickstart tree that are not
directly related to the instack-virt-setup replacement aspect that is
approved in the spec (image building, deployment). I think these should
be split into their own ansible-role-* repos, so that they can be
consumed using ansible-galaxy. It would actually even make sense to do
that with the libvirt role responsible for setting up the virtual
environment. The tripleo-quickstart would then be just an integration
layer making consuming these roles for virtual deployments easy.

This way if someone wanted to make a different role for say OVB
deployments, it would be easy to use the other roles on top of a
differently provisioned undercloud.

Similarly, if we wanted to adopt ansible to drive tripleo-ci, it would
be very easy to only consume the roles that make sense for the tripleo
cloud.

So the first question is, should we split the roles out of
tripleo-quickstart?

If so, should we do that before importing it to the openstack git?

Also, should the split out roles also be on the openstack git?

Maybe this all deserves its own spec and we tackle it after completing
all of the work for the first spec. I put this on the meeting agenda for
today, but we didn't get to it.
