Re: feature request: Empty role

 

Folks, sorry, but I don't quite get your use cases. We can do separated
provisioning from CLI (and REST API obviously), and you will get nodes
without any OpenStack components deployed on them. All nodes will be
provisioned, and you can proceed with manual deployment after this.
Now, if you want to deploy some nodes, but not to touch some other
provisioned, then we can't do it now. Deployment will be applied to all
nodes, and you can't have node without a role on it now. Is it the case you
guys talk about? Do I understand right the current implementation?

Thanks,
