Comment 1 for bug 1628895

1. the reconfigure and deploy using the same logic to render the configure file. So if reconfigure do not work, deploy should not work too.

2. you are using the custom config in wrong, the right one is:

mkdir -p /etc/kolla/config/nova/<hostname>/nova.conf

3. are u sure the "localhost" is correct? this value should be equal to the hostname in you inventory file.
