The OpenStack Configuration Service: Pluto
Installation, expansion and configuration management is a long avoided pain point in the OpenStack world. Pluto addresses this.What is Pluto for OpenStack
Pluto is a command line tool for managing OpenStack configuration files (soon to be a service which runs across all hosts in a cluster). It allows you to view and edit these files in a familiar OpenStack command line like way. Pluto keeps an audit trail of your changes within the files. The tool was designed to allow you to easily install new versions of OpenStack based on the instructions provided for each release. Batch files follow the identical syntax found in the OpenStack install guide. Use of these files is faster and far less error prone than manual file editing. See samples and readme.
Database support coming soon. This will allow full configuration synchronization with one single tool.

You can also edit key/value pairs just as easily without the need to sift thru all the conf files. The tool even allows global changes across files to insure duplicate data, such as auth_url, auth_strategy, rabbit_host, passwords, etc are all identical and synchronized where appropriate.
Batch file processing allows for easier installation of newer OpenStack releases such as Liberty.
