It includes cookbooks for common OpenStack components like Keystone, Glance, Nova, etc. that allow OpenStack to be deployed in an automated, repeatable way. The project has many corporate contributors and aims to reduce fragmentation and encourage collaboration in deploying OpenStack. It provides a Chef repository, documentation, and community support through various channels. The goal is to make deploying and managing OpenStack infrastructure as code a reality.
