What you need for this book
In order to truly benefit from this book, it is best to have deployed or have access to an OpenStack cloud built using openstack-ansible (OSA) running with the Newton release or better. The OSA deployment method provides an environment that will install both OpenStack and Ansible.
If you plan to deploy any of the other OpenStack distributions, you would still just need to be running the OpenStack Newton release or better. As well as, have Ansible version 2.1 or better installed on the same nodes or on your workstation.
Also, having a good text editor, such as TextWrangler, Notepad++, or Vim, will be very useful if you plan to add to or edit any of the Ansible playbooks/roles found in the GitHub repository.
