 Spirent has partnered with Cloudbase Solutions to build and release a suite of SaltStack scripts for deploying OpenStack, supporting Icehouse and Juno releases on multiple target hardware platforms. These scripts are being enhanced and extended to support the OPNFV scenarios. Anyone wishing to collaborate on this parallel effort is welcome to join. Spirent has partnered with Cloudbase Solutions to build and release a suite of SaltStack scripts for deploying OpenStack, supporting Icehouse and Juno releases on multiple target hardware platforms.

-Regarding devops tools: there are certainly many tools available each with their own pros and cons. Each organization will use the one best suited to their needs many times based on personal experience of the sysadmins. Changing from one tool to an other is no easy task as the library of scripts can contain years of investment from hundreds of contributors. More and more these devops tools have moved beyond just the ability to update operating system configuration files. Now there are solutions to deploy fully working, highly secure and available, multi-node openstack platforms. Some organizations might use fuel, some native puppet, or packstack (RDO), others SaltStack, ansible, chef, while some hard core sysadmins might use bash.+Regarding devops tools: there are certainly many tools available each with their own pros and cons.

 With this in mind we started a project last year to build a flexible deployment framework to allow a profile to be built for each of the desired attributes. Based on the desired profile a machine can be configured with SaltStack in a repeatable manner. This allows us to tear down and rebuild machines multiple times a day as part of our automated testing solution. With this in mind we started a project last year to build a flexible deployment framework to allow a profile to be built for each of the desired attributes.
