Open Stack

There are definitely 1,001 opinions on what is “best”.  We use RDO at Overstock and we use home-grown puppet modules because we do our own puppet modules for everything else we do here.  We based everything around the official Openstack install documents and we do it because we want to *fully* understand everything we can instead of treating it like a black box that knows how to do the magic.

However, there are lots of options out there - ansible, kolla, puppet plus vendor-specific options too like those provided by Mirantis.  If there are config management tools (ansible, puppet, etc) that you already use, you may want to check out the Openstack options for those.  You are correct that that packstack is more of a ‘all-in-one-server’ installer for a quick POC.  It can to more, but I think RDO recommends “Triple-O” (which stands for Openstack-on-Openstack) for production RDO deploys.  Since they are affiliated with RedHat, they would also lean heavily towards the Ansible option as well.

Good luck!

This is a religious discussion for most, but I would suggest Kolla. It takes out a lot of the guess work, has a good upgrade mechanism, and is well supported by the community via mailing list and ORC. Take a look.

We are deploying 5 node openstack cloud for internal use and wondering
what method we should use, initial test was on RDO packstack but i
heard packstack isn't good for production, some people on google
suggesting using triplo. I found its little complicated because you
need one more extra server run undercloud openstack to deploy
overcloud openstack, should i really use triplo or is there any other
and easy method which can allow us to upgrade in future also.
