Enable tripleo to support multiple architectures
Currently tripleo works well on x86_64 systems as newer computing platforms gain trivial support for virtualisation more OpenStack services are expected to run on non-intel CPUS (ppc64le and aarch64 come to mind). This blueprint covers the work items to enable an x86_64 tripleo install to deploy/manage overcloud nodes running on these alternate architectures.
Later and separate from this effort we'd look at running tripleo itself on non-x86_64 CPUs

[2019-09-18] (aschultz): Not implemented by the end of Train, moving out to Ussuri
[2019-04-15] (aschultz) As this is not completely implemented, moving to Train.
[2018-07-24] (aschultz) Moving to Stein. Please request an FFE if necessary. The patches seem to indicate it's mostly done but there may be some outstanding work. Also there was a few posts on the ML about the FFE, so it seems we're putting this off till Stein. http://
[2017-12-14] Moving back to Queens with the stipulation that backwards compatibility of image names are solved for. See http://
[2017-12-08] Moving out to Rocky. Please request FFE if this is needed for Queens.
