Open Stack

Hi,

I missed the initial mail that started this thread, as I wasn't signed
up to the mailing list at the time, so I'm replying to this (I
apologize if this is frowned upon).

I would like to add my two cents to the ones suggesting to use a
deployment tool, like Puppet, Ansible or Packstack (whichever you
prefer, really, or depending on any dependencies you may have) if for
nothing else but the fact that you'll end up with some sort of reusable
instruction file. This is preferable for a few reasons. You can inspect
the file to see what are the various things the deployment system
accounted for to perform the deployment. You can then add or change
variables to experiment and using some version control system save your
configurations to return to a known or interesting configuration.

If you're interested in how the actual configuration of the services
looks like, you can always connect to your nodes and inspect them that
way, or collect them and compare to the answer file to see which option
affected what. Also, this will primarily save you time, as your
experimentation may break the environment for some reason, and it will
simply become tedious to do it by hand over and over.

I do, however, suggest that you try to repeat the deployment of a
service or few by hand in different configurations, just to get the
hang of it and walk through the process manually and see what all the
moving pieces are - this will come in handy in situation when something
breaks and you want to be able to fix it rather than redeploy.

I wish you the best of luck :)
