Summary:
The OpenStack Foundation, it’s sponsors and generous contributors provide a testing OpenStack cloud sandbox that lets you try the real thing – for free: TryStack.

An OpenStack cloud provides on-demand and scalable compute, networking and storage, often billed by the minute and available in a matter of seconds.

This makes it a great choice to quickly, efficiently and easily test
(and deploy) your applications with.

Ansible is a popular agentless configuration management tool. It falls in the same category of software as Puppet, Chef and Salt.

Together, let’s look at how we can do a typical application deployment against an OpenStack cloud with the help of Ansible:
• Manage virtual machines and their components: image, ephemeral and persistent storage, networking and security rules
• Deploy a load balanced WordPress installation across four virtual machines
