Description Dmitry Tantsur 2016-09-06 11:35:54 UTC 
We need to be able to build RAID and make other configuration changes during deployment, not in advance. On the last midcycle we decided to try adding "deploy steps" in addition to existing "clean steps". We will also have to figure out how to pass such requests from Nova, as e.g. RAID configuration is a JSON object, not just a capability string.

I think Yolanda is working on it, right?
Comment 3 Ramon Acedo 2017-03-20 15:42:48 UTC 
Spec still under review. Targeting to 13
Comment 4 Dmitry Tantsur 2017-10-02 11:41:46 UTC 
This is making progress again, but may arrive quite late in the cycle, if at all. Yolanda, do we need it in Queens, assuming that we land the ansible deploy interface?
Comment 5 Ramon Acedo 2017-11-03 11:40:20 UTC 
Moving it to Rocky since even if the code lands we need to focus on the consolidation and stabilisation RFEs and if the ansible-deploy driver lands we might be able to use it for some of the use cases here.
Comment 6 Dmitry Tantsur 2018-08-30 10:35:06 UTC 
Good progress upstream, with the foundation landing in Rocky. Still, there is a lot of work to make it useful, so aiming for tech preview in 15.
Comment 10 Dmitry Tantsur 2019-01-04 15:21:20 UTC 
Superseded by the deploy templates work. The spec has landed, no code so far. At risk for 15.
Comment 13 Dmitry Tantsur 2019-03-05 12:02:30 UTC 
The patches for this work has landed. Note that it covers only the foundational work, new RFEs should be created for practical applications of deploy templates, such as RAID, BIOS, partitioning, etc.
