Tenks

Tenks is a utility that manages virtual bare metal clusters for development and testing purposes. It offers:

• Declarative definition of clusters using Ansible's familiar YAML syntax
• Automated creation and deletion of virtualised bare metal nodes across any number of hypervisors
• In-built management of Open vSwitch bridges for physical networks
• Registration of nodes and ports with OpenStack Ironic, and creation of OpenStack Nova flavors
• Simple cluster reconfiguration and tear-down
