Instead of assuming the python version based on the distro, we check the python version. (Check borrowed from bifrost-cli) This patch defaults to the newer ansible version, and if python is old, we override it with the old ansible package. This lets us install on the RHELatives like Alma and Rocky, which the current check is preventing. Change-Id: I47413eab8c5132ab3201b4c7197ec15c17d18e12
Bifrost
Bifrost (pronounced bye-frost) is a set of Ansible playbooks that automates the task of deploying a base image onto a set of known hardware using ironic. It provides modular utility for one-off operating system deployment with as few operational requirements as reasonably possible.
The mission of bifrost is to provide an easy path to deploy ironic in a stand-alone fashion, in order to help facilitate the deployment of infrastructure, while also being a configurable project that can consume other OpenStack components to allow users to easily customize the environment to fit their needs, and drive forward the stand-alone perspective.
Use cases include:
- Installation of ironic in standalone/noauth mode without other OpenStack components.
- Deployment of an operating system to a known pool of hardware as a batch operation.
- Testing and development of ironic in the standalone mode.
