<div><br /></div>
<div>I will try my best to attend the design calls, but unfortunately i have my teams weekly meeting at the same time on Thursdays.</div>

<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.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Part of the evolution takes us in a direction where support of centos is <i>mostly</i> a given.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">From what you describe it sounds as if you could definitely take advantage of what Airship provides.</p>

<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.</span></p>

</div>
<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.</span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> </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.</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.</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. </span></p>

</div>
<div>
<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.</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.</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.</span></p>
