Open Stack

We have been heavy users of chef and its okay. Personally I like using ansible for config management for openstack. There are many reasons for this, but perhaps one that is very specific to openstack is that ansible  is agnostic about choice the choice of language which modules are written in (but it does provide more help for things written in python). In chef your LWRP have to be written in ruby (and the ruby distributed with chef to boot). For openstack interaction I much prefer using the openstack python-XXXclient that trying to get ruby Fog library to do things like host aggs.
