Openstack + Chef + Jenkins for continuous delivery

I am brand new with Openstack and Chef tools. I am trying to setup a Continuous Delivering Process where I imagine something like following:

From Jenkins create a Pipeline where we have Jobs:

The doubt I have is how to implement Job3, the ways I see to implement this is using in Jenkins configuration Openstack command lines as nova and neutron, and for Chef also using knife and chef-client command, but for all that I shall have access to OpenStack controller server and all Chef Nodes. Is there a more tidy way to implement this without just using command lines, something like Jenkins Plugins, Chef recipes or some other way? What I don't like of adding in Jenkins configuration is that is not under version control, I would like something like chef recipes that perform all Openstack and Chef infrastructure setup and have those recipes under version control. But I am not sure how to implement all this with recipes and how then they will be applied from Jenkins. It is correct the idea I have or there is other ways to implement this approach?

Thank you for the help.

Also consider using CloudMunch which integrates into Openstack to deliver continuous delivery and deployments.

For provisioning and orchestrating application infrastructure, I would recommend using Heat. A single YAML file describes your desired application environment.

The openstack documents describe how nova servers can be configured using chef at boot time using a cloud-init.

Hope this helps
