Open Stack

I am really happy to hear about that as this could be much more effective than having an uncontrollable number of roles scattered across lots of repositories which usually do not play very nice with each other.

I hope that testing these roles using molecule (official ansible testing platform) is also part of this plan.

Cheers

As we're working through this effort we believe co-locating all of the Ansible tasks/roles/libraries/plugins throughout the code base into a single purpose-built repository will assist us in streamlining and simplifying. Structurally, at this time, most of tripleo will remain the same. However, the inclusion of tripleo-Ansible will allow us to create more focused solutions which are independently testable, much easier understand, and simple to include into the current heat template deployment methodologies. While a straight port of the existing Ansible tasks will not be entirely possible, the goal of this ongoing effort will be zero impact on our existing workflow and solutions.

Initially, we'll be focused on our existing code base; however, long term, I believe it makes sense for this squad to work across projects to breakdown deployment barriers for folks using similar technologies.
