Open Stack

Sorry Russell but I have to ask, what is the different you see between "traditional datacenter virtualization" and "cloud". IMHO the two co-exist and Cloud (the buzz word that it is) is the umbrella for all encompassing data center. That said im still missing why this would not be a useful feature for us?

The need for this sort of thing makes more sense for traditional datacenter virtualization, but not as much for cloud.  That's the root of my objection.
