Open Stack

Hi Grant,

We actually have the process documented here:

https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/osa-newton-xenial-upgrade

It does make a few assumptions so make sure you meet them before starting.
Please join us on Freenode in the #openstack-ansible channel and we'll give
you a hand if we can.

Thanks,

Amy (spotz)
