Device-Aliases:
NICs:
User can categorize the NICs in the hardware as control-plane nics or dataplane nics. In each category he can have one or more NICs. For example, he can define ctrl_nic1, ctrl_nic2, ctrl_nic3, and data_nic1, data_nic2, data_nic3, etc. It is better to use names that are self-explanatory - for example, if you have a separate NIC for PXE, name it as pxe_nic. This categorization will be referred in the host-profiles. For every NIC defined, the below information can be configured.

Software
Recently openstack services are deployed as containers, and to manage these containers various container management platforms such as Kubernetes are used.
Airship too uses the approach of openstack on Kubernetes (OOK). For deployment/configuration of services/applications/pods (in this case Openstack, monitoring, etc.) on Kubernetes, users have two options (a) Kolla-Kubernetes (b) Openstack Helm. Both the options uses helm for packaging the Kubernetes definitions for each service. However, openstack helm uses helm charts, whereas kolla-kubernetes uses uses ansible for deployment/orchestration. Airship uses the former option - helm charts. Accordingly, under software, user configurations will fall under two important categories - Charts and Configurations.
Charts
Kubernetes
Undercloud Platform
Ceph
Openstack helm Infra
Open Stack Helm
Tenant-Ceph
Config
Under this configuration, user can only set the region name for openstack helm.
