ansible + openstack heat?

[Guy Matz]

Has anyone gotten ansible to provision a rackspace stack using a Heat template?

Thanks!

Rackspace is OpenStack underneath, but Rackspace hides all the complexity of OpenStack from you (which is also nice).   So people typically use the "rackspace" cloud modules in Ansible instead.

Using Ansible, you do not need to use heat at all with Rackspace, you can also use our OpenStack modules on a raw OpenStack cloud (not Rackspace) directly as well.

http://docs.ansible.com/list_of_cloud_modules.html

http://docs.ansible.com/guide_rax.html  (there is no OpenStack specific guide yet)

That being said, you might be using Heat in some OpenStack cases to call back into something to trigger ansible to run things on scale-up events, since it's kind of event driven.
