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.
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.
