Steps to reproduce:
1) Deploy cluster Cetos, HA, nova, 1 Controller 1 Compute
2) Add and node with role base OS, deploy cluster

Expected result
atute.yaml on each node will contain entry about aded baseOS node

Actual result:
atute.yaml - on controller and compute does not contain any data dout aded machine

Information about nodes is taken from hiera (you can check it using 'hiera nodes'), and all nodes are stored in /etc/hiera/nodes.yaml that is always updated after adding new nodes.

I can see that they are correctly present in your snapshot:

[Aleksandr Didenko (adidenko)]

When we add new node that does not require deployment on existing nodes (for example new compute node), then /etc/hosts are updated with hosts.pp post-deployment task which pulls new list of nodes via hiera from /etc/hiera/nodes.yaml, just like Sebastian said.
If you add new controller nodes, this will trigger deployment on existing controllers and they will get new astute.yaml with the list of all nodes, so deployment will go just fine. After that, hosts will be updated again via post-deployment tast hosts.pp and /etc/hiera/nodes.yaml.
Marking this bug as invalid.

[Aleksandr Didenko (adidenko)]

OK, we decided to document this behavior. So I'm forwarding this bug to docs team.

[Irina Povolotskaya (ipovolotskaya)]

I believe, this belongs to Release Notes.

Does this need to be added as a known issue, or is there a workaround?
