I tried it as well, as a one off it seems useful, but after about an hour and looking at some of the issues on GitHub it is definitely in need of some TLC. Restarting and reconfiguring is a pickle to say the least. For example, if you want to access it from other than localhost. I do however like the simplicity of it out the gate.

Mark Shuttleworth introduced 'microstack' at the conference last week. It's a snap based openstack install suitable for getting a quick instance up for playing with.
Project here : https://github.com/CanonicalLtd/microstack
Its's aimed at bring-up on an actual ubuntu-installed host, however I got it running on a virtual Ubuntu VM on my Mac with a trivial change (see https://github.com/CanonicalLtd/microstack/issues/41)
I found it an quick, easy, even fun way to get a test openstack instance, it installed in just a few minutes for me. It's a single command:
snap install microstack --classic --edge
So far I got a cirros instance to launch, but didn't yet manage to ssh into that instance, but I only had about an hour playing with it so far.
Definitely a fun toy.
