Project Staypuft is a plugin for the Foreman OpenStack Installer that provides an intuitive deployment tool for production grade OpenStack installations. It includes features such as a live CD/USB, host auto-discovery via PXE, and an OpenStack-oriented user interface to orchestrate deployments through steps like first deploying controller nodes and then compute nodes. The goal is to simplify the complex OpenStack installation process that typically requires manual configuration and troubleshooting of packages.

6. Packages
● Configure everything manually
● Discover what is broken
● Try to fix it
● Give up

7. Packages PackStack
● Easy to use: # packstack --answers.txt
● Wrapper to upstream Puppet Modules
● Not robust enough for production
● In reality - for PoCs

8. Packages Foreman
Openstack-Installer
● Pre-Integrated Foreman
for deploying Openstack
