Conventions¶

To avoid extra configuration, a series of conventions are set into code.

Default folders locations¶

Ansible roles¶

The ansible roles are stored under /etc/ansible/roles.

OpenStack-Ansible directory checkout¶

The code is generally located into /opt/openstack-ansible.

OpenStack-Ansible wrapper¶

Our openstack-ansible cli is located in /usr/bin/openstack-ansible. It sources an environment variable file located in: /usr/bin/openstack-ansible.rc.

Userspace configurations¶

All the userspace configurations are expected to be in /etc/openstack_deploy/.

Ansible configuration¶

Ansible.cfg¶

There is no ansible.cfg provided with OpenStack-Ansible. Environment variables are used to alter the default Ansible behavior if necessary.

Ansible roles fetching¶

Any roles defined in openstack-ansible/ansible-role-requirements.yml will be installed by the openstack-ansible/scripts/bootstrap-ansible.sh script, and fetched into the ansible roles folder.

Inventory conventions¶

Please confer to the inventory section of this reference.
