Hi Marco,

There is a project called Inception (https://github.com/stackforge/inception)
which allows you to automatically deploy OpenStack within OpenStack, for
whatever purposes such as testing. Currently Inception uses Chef cookbooks
to deploy a full-feature Folsom-release OpenStack (with nova-network).
Support for Grizzly is being planned and developed.


Thanks

Changbin
