I am plaining to work on automating tasks which admin generally performs after deploying Openstack.For ex. create/delete/manage instances/volumes/network/heat-stack etc. 

But, I am bit confused in between salt and ansible. Which one is mature for my usecase with good documentation? Can anyone suggest me the better option and examples if available?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that posting on a SALT mailing list and asking which is better, SALT or Ansible, you're likely to get the answer - SALT of course!

SALT is quite mature and well-documented. You'll have to try both though and see which one fits for you.

Just as an fyi to this.

Ansible uses a library written by the openstack-infra team called shade.

We have plans on moving to the shade library as well.  It is on my todo list for the Oxygen release right now.
