Dell EMC has updated its opensourced JetPack automation toolkit1, which is an innovative automation package that is used to configure the infrastructure hardware and OpenStack software in a fully automated fashion. The toolkit includes programs from Dell EMC that work with Red Hat OpenStack Director to automate the deployment process, not only saving time, but also ensuring the process is reliable and repeatable.
The JetPack automation toolkit was used to deploy Red Hat OpenStack Platform 16.1 on the documented hardware in this Architecture Guide. The JetPack automation toolkit is used by Dell EMC, Red Hat professional service teams, and system integrator partners, and is available on GitHub to customers who prefer to do self-deployment.

The CSP profile is designed for Telecommunications Service Providers, Cable TV Operators, Satellite TV, Internet Service Providers, etc. whereas the xSP profile is designed for Business & IT Services Providers such as Hosting Service Providers, Cloud Service Providers, Software-as-a-Service/Platform-as-a-Service Providers, Application Hosting Service Providers and Private Managed Cloud Service Providers.
