Example Ansible Playbook for Packstack

Aim is to simplify the install of OpenStack via Packstack onto Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 and Centos 7 environments

You'll need to specify your inventory hosts.rhel file that contains the host you wish to packstack

[packstack]
openstack

Override the variable repo_host to specify the location of your local yum repository.

To execute the playbook across my RHEL hosts

ansible-playbook -i hosts.rhel packstack.yaml

If I only want to enable my locally cached set of base OS RPMS

ansible-playbook -i hosts.rhel repos.yaml

The includes configure the local respositories on the packstack hosts

• local_repo.yaml - Base OS repositories
• local_openstack_repo.yaml - OpenStack specific repositories

These contain the local yum repositories config files to reduce internet traffic.

• Base RHEL or Centos repositories
  • centos.repo.j2
  • rhel.repo.j2
• Red Hat OpenStack or RDO repositories
  • centos_rdo.repo.j2
  • rhel_osp.repo.j2
