i did that on my previous job. no regrets

on current job non-openstack infra runs under puppet, openstack  runs
over saltstack. no regrets either

when i came here, puppet automation for openstack was small, so i re did
it for saltstack. 


one thing you may want to consider is, there are no modules for
openstack in salt. i don't care, as i don't like modules (much)
