I have trained many people over the years on how to use Openstack. Giving
people horizon as a starting place has never worked out well. Cloud's are
not meant to be pointed and clicked at - can you yes ... should you no.

I would be starting them at writing an application (in bash maybe) that
fires off a couple cloud resources from the CLI - the sooner they stop
pointing and clicking - the sooner they can get on with it.

Just my 2C
