Open Stack

Hi all,

I finally completed the developer experience report!
The updated version include OVH public cloud, so now for OpenStack we have RAX and OVH against AWS, Azure and Google Cloud.

The FirstApp was deployed successfully over OVH using shade, libcloud also fails the same way it does in RAX (nova-network).
One of the most interesting things about using OVH public cloud is that it provides its own Cloud Control Panel (which is very interactive) and it also provides Horizon.

Please take a look in the v3 version:

I will talk about this cloud comparison in Austin ;)

Thanks Christopher for the OVH account, it gave me the opportunity to complete the report :)
