Dear list,
I’m new on an (existing) OpenStack “cloud” and have to deploy some VMs there.
I’m experienced with puppet and want to use that to automatically deploy VMs
(and install software there).
I know about https://docs.openstack.org/puppet-openstack-guide/latest/ - but
don’t see a point whe
In our cloud, we offer the possibility to reinstall the same or another OS on a
VPS (Virtual Private Server). Unfortunately, we couldn’t use the rebuild
function because of the VPS‘s use of Cinder for root disk. We create a new
instance and inject the same User Data so that the new instance has
Running puppet on openstack instances is no different than running puppet
on bare metal, or elsewhere.
I would say it's kind of outside the scope of this list, which his more

This is a quick survey to find out how many people use the ability to
specify a specific image_id at the time of image creation in Glance.
Note that if you manage multiple clouds, you can fill this

No offense is intended, so please forgive me for the possibly incendiary
nature of what I'm about to write:
VPS is the predecessor of cloud (and something I love very much, and
rely on every day!), and encourages all the bad habits that a cloud
disallows. At small scale, it's the right thing, and
