Tempest is a set of integration tests to run against OpenStack Cloud. Delivering robust and working OpenStack cloud is always challenging. To make sure what we deliver in RDO is rock-solid, we use Tempest to perform a set of API and scenario tests against a running cloud using different installers like puppet-openstack-integration, packstack, and tripleo-quickstart. And, it is the story… Read more →

In this post, I will present how to use a CI/CD workflow to manage TripleO deployment life cycle within an OpenStack tenant. The goal is to use Software-Factory to submit reviews to create or update a TripleO deployment. The review process ensure peers validation before executing the deployment or update command. The deployment will be done within Openstack tenants. We… Read more →
