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. Chris -- Chris Morgan <mihalis68@gmail.com>
