Open Stack

This is the third installment of what is going on in Chef OpenStack. The
goal is to give a quick overview to see our progress and what is on the
menu. Feedback is always welcome on the usefulness of the content.

Appetizers
==========
=> Chef 14 support has arrived in the cookbooks. Test Kitchen will be
updated to 14 Soon(tm). The gate is still testing against 13. The 12
release is considered EOL as of May 1, 2018, so we will not be able to
support releases older than 13 at that time.

=> Numerous community cookbooks received updates, the highest visibility
being Poise itself. This resolves issues with installing pip 10 on both
platforms, and system Python on RHEL.

Entrees
=======
=> Installing Python has been centralized to the common cookbook, as
opposed to multiple attempts to install the same Python instance. This
produces a more consistent, repeatable outcome.
=> The dokken yaml has been fixed up to allow for testing in containers
once more.
=> Work has begun on overhauling the aging documentation, in an attempt to
align things closer to community standards. Parts are shamelessly inspired
from other projects (Puppet OpenStack, OpenStack-Ansible), so it will look
a bit familiar in some places.

Desserts
========
=> Rakefiles are going away! As tooling has matured, and the emergence of
the ChefDK, the functionality of what the reliable Rakefiles provide are
being replaced with tools such as Test Kitchen and Delivery.

On The Menu
===========
=> Creamy Jalapeno Sauce
-- 1 cup (170g) sour cream / creme fraiche
-- 1 cup (170g) mayonnaise
-- 5 tbsp (75g) dry Ranch dressing powder
-- 2 tbsp (28g) dry Jalapeno powder
-- 4-5 pickled jalapeno chiles, with the stem removed (use some of the
pickling juice to thin things out if the consistency is too thick)
-- 1/2 cup (64g) fresh picked cilantro (dry works here, but... dry)
-- 1/2 cup (64g) salsa verde
-- 2 tbsp (28g) lime juice
-- (Optional) Heavy cream / double cream if the consistency is too thin

Add ingredients to a blender or food processor. Blend until desired
consistency, or until you do not see pieces of jalapeno.

Your humble line cook,
