## What it is
OpenStack-Ansible is an official OpenStack project providing Ansible playbooks and roles for deploying production OpenStack clouds from source. It is designed for scalable, operable, and upgradable private cloud deployments.

## Use cases
- deploy a production OpenStack cloud with Ansible
- set up an all-in-one OpenStack test environment
- upgrade an existing OpenStack deployment
- deploy OpenStack services on Ubuntu or Debian hosts
- build a scalable private IaaS from source

## When to choose
- you want to deploy OpenStack in a production-grade, scalable way
- you prefer Ansible-based automation over other deployment tools
- you need an AIO build for testing OpenStack
- you want fine-grained per-service role configuration

## When to avoid
- you need a simple single-node OpenStack for development (consider DevStack)
- you are not deploying OpenStack specifically
- you want a Kubernetes-based cloud deployment (consider OpenStack Helm instead)

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: active
- function: deployment, configuration-management, infrastructure-as-code, cloud
- domain: cloud-computing, infrastructure-as-code, self-hosted
- platform: python, self-hosted
