So for now we "only" have a (fairly) good integration with the
"openstack tripleo" subcommand[1].

Currently, we're mainly using plain ansible roles and playbook, being
launched by Mistral. We intend to allow non-Mistral runs (Work In
Progress) and, in not too far future hopefully, to provide a descent
python library within the tripleo-validations package for a better
integration.
It's still early, we still need to put things together, but if we can
already raise awareness and interest for this work, it will help getting
more involvement and time in order to provide a great bundle :).

If you want to know more, you can already have a look at the new doc[1].

Does it help a bit understanding the possibilities?

Cheers,

C.
