that is performed during config_controller will be performed during the host unlock. This will ensure the network connection is not disrupted while the Ansible playbook is executing and ensure the initial host is configured in the same way as other hosts
in the cluster.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">I just went through your slides. And I have a few questions. I appreciate if you can share more information about your proposal. Many thanks!</span><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">1. We know config_controller will do many things, like bootstrap configuration and controller configuration together with required hieradata generation. All the jobs of config_controller
will be taken over by Ansible, or just part of them?</span><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span lang="EN-CA">MP> Yes most of these tasks will be handled by the Ansible playbook. However, much of the existing capabilities may be leveraged in the implementation to avoid re-writing everything. The details will be outlined
in the forthcoming spec.</span></i><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">2. Does WindRiver has plan to replace Puppet with Ansible for all configuration jobs in the future?</span><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:11.0pt">MP> There are no specific plans to replace Puppet for all configuration management. However, there are several features being actively developed in StarlingX that will be changing the existing
Puppet manifests (e.g. OpenStack Containerization).</span></i><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">3. For the first controller, we still need local execution of Ansible playbook for initial bootstrap. Is my understanding correct?</span><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:11.0pt">MP> This is one of the main drivers for changing some of the existing config_controller and Puppet manifest handling. The operator will have the ability to run the Ansible playbook locally
or remotely. </span></i><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
