Chapter 3. Creating Multiple Users/Projects
We have finally arrived to the part of the book where we put hands to the keyboard and create our very first OpenStack administration playbook. The task of creating users and projects for your OpenStack cloud is literally one of the first steps in setting up your cloud for user consumption. So, it is good to start here. We will step through how one would manually do this first and then transition into creating a playbook with roles to fully automate it. While creating the playbook/role, I will try to highlight any possible concerns and flexible ways you can accomplish it using Ansible. The following topics will be covered in this chapter:
- Creating users and projects
- Automation considerations
- Coding the playbook and roles
- Playbook and role review
