<p class="MsoNormal">You will be glad to know the direction of Airship for the next release includes integration with projects such as cluster-api, baremetal-operator and ironic.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Part of the evolution takes us in a direction where support of centos is <i>mostly</i> a given.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">From what you describe it sounds as if you could definitely take advantage of what Airship provides.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We encourage you to start attending our Airship design calls on Thursday’s 11 EST or the rest of our meetings listed here (<a href="https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Airship#Get_in_Touch">https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Airship#Get_in_Touch</a>)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We will be starting to focus on Airship 2,.0 features, and I feel that we are going in a direction you would agree with and benefit from.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The reason i am asking is because, my goals of using Airship goes much beyond using it just for Openstack.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">For baremetal/VM deployment- i use Foreman together with Hiera and various yaml files/tags/facts that i get for different servers. Once deployed - puppet then configures the
OS on baremetal nodes depending on the same tags/facts/yaml files from Hiera.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">I see that - Airship uses a similar declarative design with yaml but deploys services on containers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">My goal was to use Airship and see if i can deploy both baremetal servers and openstack/VMs using the same yaml files.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">It would thus be more like Infrastructure as a code. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">I am not sure if this would be the correct approach, or if i have to deploy Openstack and instead use Openstack Ironic to deploy the baremetal nodes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The issue with the Openstack Ironic approach is that i want to use the same declarative yaml design that airship uses to deploy ironic nodes too, and i am not sure how much would
that be possible.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Also - I want to use the same approach to deploy instances on public cloud too, so may be using Openstack Ironic would be a better way to go.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

the directions that airship can help me.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
