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!

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. -Erik On Jun 20, 2017 7:15 PM, "Satish Patel" <satish....@gmail.com<mailto:satish....@gmail.com>> wrote: 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. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack Post to : openstack@lists.openstack.org<mailto:openstack@lists.openstack.org> Unsubscribe : http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack _______________________________________________ Mailing list: http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack Post to : openstack@lists.openstack.org<mailto:openstack@lists.openstack.org> Unsubscribe : http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack
