Open Stack

Ruby codes in puppet-openstack repos are used for the following three
purposes.
 1. unit tests and acceptance tests using serverspec framework (files
placed under spec)
 2. implementation of custom type, provider, and function
 3. template files (We use ERB instead of pure Ruby about this, though)

1 is supposed to be used only for testing during deployment but 2 and 3 can
be used
in any production use case in combination with puppet manifest files to
manage
OpenStack deployments.
