We are CentOS7 shop that is why i have started playing with TripleO on
my VMware environment to get familiar. what do you suggest for 20 node
cluster? we don't have any storage requirement all we need CPU and
Memory to run our application, currently all application running on
VMware and i want to migrate them over Openstack and do some rapid
deployment.

This is what i am planning (let me if i am wrong)

2 controller node (in HA)
2 Cisco ASR1k (L3 function in HA)
20 compute node with 10G nic and lots of memory and many cpu cores.

Anything else which i am missing?
