Like Flavio said, it sounds like we might just re-use what you guys did, since it looks flexible. What Doug wrote [1] stays very useful, since we don't want to re-use your templates, we would rather generate the list of options available in OpenStack projects by using oslo-.config directly. We could provide an YAML with key/values of things we want to generate in an inifile. Now we could ask ourselves, in that case, why not directly making oslo.config reading YAML instead of ini? Do we really need a translator? User input → YAML →OSA config template plugin →INI →read by oslo.config we could have: User input → YAML → read by oslo.config I've discussed with some operators about this options but I want to re-iterate on it here. Any thoughts? [1] https://github.com/dhellmann/oslo-config-ansible
The plugin, as is, is capable of generating INI files as well as YAML files. I don't really see the need of making oslo.config read YAML. On one side the idea sounds appealing because well, we can do more with YAMl than we can with INI files. On the other side, though, I don't think it's worth the time right now. A migration to YAML files requires way more work than we can account for. Not only we need to make oslo.config support it, we also have to maintain compatibility for quite a few cycles, etc. Don't get me wrong. If someone wants to work on this, I'm good. What I'm saying is that, at this point, I don't think it's worth it. It may be in the future. The reality is that we depend on INI files now and we will for the forseable future so the work has to be done anyway. Flavio -- @flaper87 Flavio Percoco
