If you’d like a method to consistently deploy OpenStack in an automated fashion I’d recommend checking out packstack – an Openstack installation automation tool which utilizes puppet.

You can also generate an answer file and use it on other systems
[root@rhc-06 ~]# packstack --gen-answer-file=answerfile
Be careful, if your system is subscribed to Red Hat Network’s classic entitlement packstack will register the systems via subscription-manager (certificate based entitlement). This can cause some issues if you already subscribed the system and added the OpenStack channels via RHN.
