If you know (say) Ubuntu and Ansible, then there's pretty good automation with openstack-ansible and kolla-ansible. There are a number of moving parts, but an intermediate-level Linux sysadmin can get things going without too much difficulty. There are vendor-provided solutions (e.g., from RH) as well if you don't want to do a fully DIY, or want commercial support.

At a previous job we had a team of 4-5, and 1.5 FTEs split their time between our HPC cluster and our OpenStack cluster (20+ hypervisors, ~10 Ceph servers; >350 VMs/instances).
