It's definitely a new way of doing things.  I'm trying to get used to this new service VM model (like Astara and Octavia use), but it's been difficult.

For what it's worth, I have a (somewhat dated) branch with Octavia support in Github[1].

Openstack-ansible is quite a new approach for our deployment (we've done most things via puppet till now) - what I was really after is some examples to scab from, but if I manage to beat you to it, it might wind up the other way round.  The Puppet deployment has been really good till recently but like many, we're now unable to do 'big bang' upgrades and the lack of orchestration in Puppet is a real limitation.

We would definitely be happy to help with any questions you have while you're using OpenStack-Ansible.  It's always nice to have feedback from new users, especially those who are used to other deployment frameworks.  The OpenStack-Ansible contributors have done a lot to "smooth off" the rough edges of OpenStack deployments, but we find new things that surprise us from time to time. :)

Feel free to join #openstack-ansible on Freenode or hang out with us during our IRC meetings on Thursday[2].
