[Rdo-list] Installing RDO w/ Foreman + icehouse and ml2 plugin

[Mike Orazi]

Andrew,

See a few comments inline below, but first thanks for giving the foreman
installer a shot.  It looks like you have had a good amount of success
and made some good discoveries along the way!

I really appreciate the fact that you have gotten so far & the feedback
on areas where you are running into issues.

Thanks,
Mike

Nice -- this is one variation that a lot of people seem interested in.
We'd probably have to give some thought on how to fold things together
but I bet it would be a good candidate for further discussion and
potential inclusion at some point in the future.

The team has been working to track down the remaining issues in
neutron-db-manage.  John Eckersberg (added to the message to make sure
he sees this) is eck or jeckersb on irc and is likely a good person to
coordinate with in terms of the foreman side of the equation.  He has
been working with some neutron folks to try to run this down.

Yes!  A lot of the present work can be broken down into 2 bits.  The
quickstack work proper to make several reasonably easy to deploy cloud
examples + a good amount of usability work that is presently just
getting started to help weave things together a lot more elegantly for
end-user consumption.  A lot of the "I'm using VLAN please don't bother
showing me params that apply only to tunnel solutions" falls into that
latter set of work.
