Open Stack

Hey,

OVH is also using them as well as some custom ansible playbooks to manage the deployment. But as for red had, the configuration part is handled by puppet.
We are also doing some upstream contribution from time to time.

For us, the puppet modules are very stable and works very fine.

Cheers,

I have checked the OpenStack puppet modules which are mostly developed by the Red Hat team, as of right now, TripleO is using a combo of Ansible and puppet to deploy but in the next couple of releases, the plan is to move away from the puppet option.

That being said, as TripleO has migrated to containers built with Kolla, we've adapted our deployment mechanism to include Ansible and we really only use puppet for configuration generation.  Our goal for TripleO is to eventually be fully containerized which isn't something the puppet modules support today and I'm not sure is on the road map.

As of Queens, most of the services deployed via TripleO are deployed via containers and not on baremetal via puppet. We no longer support deploying OpenStack services on baremetal via the puppet modules and will likely be removing this support in the code in Stein.  The end goal will likely be moving away from puppet modules within TripleO if we can solve the backwards compatibility and configuration generation via other mechanism.  We will likely recommend leveraging external Ansible role calls rather than including puppet modules and using those to deploy services that are not inherently supported by TripleO.  I can't really give a time frame as we are still working out the details, but it is likely that over the next several cycles we'll see a reduction in the dependence of puppet in TripleO and an increase in leveraging available Ansible roles.

The Puppet OpenStack modules are very stable but I'm not sure without additional community folks stepping up that there will be support for newer functionality being added by the various OpenStack projects.  I'm sure others can chime in here on their usage/plans for the Puppet OpenStack modules.
