dGoal:{}

Simplify maintenance by merging the codebase, enabling easier application of common patches (e.g., dependency updates, shared features like the Topology CR), while preserving the separation of the placement controller to avoid changes to core functionality.

Acceptance Criteria:

• Both the Nova and Placement codebases will be merged
• Placement will remain as a separate Custom Resource (CR)
•  The common code will be unified

Work plan:

1. Merge repos and having full test coverage for placement and all nova services
   1. (optional) rename repo to compute
2. Modified openstack-operator to use only nova/compute operator to deploy placement and nova services
3. Inform rel-del about change and prepare automation
4. Reduplicate code in nova
5. Modified docs/create automation for update
