Hi Dani, To touch on the provisioining we presently have no plans to introduce baremetal provisioning via a PXE, Razor, djeep, etc… Our present thinking is to allow people to use whatever they want to provision the hosts and then come in with OSAD, post the OS deployment, to install OpenStack.
As for the LXC containers they are used for infrastructure components within the cloud deployment. By default your instances are run under KVM which would allow you to sick to standard VM instances.If you didn’t want the separation and scalability that the LXC containers provide the infrastructure components, you could set the flag, “is_metal” to true within the `openstack_environment.yml` file which would install some or all of the various services, that we presently support, on the hosts specified within your Anisble inventory. I hope that helps / answers your questions, we are working on documentation to better spell out all of the things that you can do with the system, so watch for that soon. Also feel free to ping me @cloudnull or others within the #openstack-ansible channel or pop by one of our meetings [ https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Meetings/openstack-ansible ] there’s a bunch of us around that are more than happy to help / answer any more questions that you might have. — Kevin > On May 4, 2015, at 15:49, Daniel Comnea <comnea.d...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hey Kevin, > > Let me add more info: > > 1) trying to understand if there is any support for baremetal provisioning > (e.g setup the UCS manager if using UCS blades etc, dump the OS on it).
