So to provide an update, I spent this week trying to get the network
configuration down for the standalone configuration. I've proposed
docs[0] for two configurations. I was able to test the two
configurations:

a) 2 nic (requires second nic with an accessable second "public"
network that is optionally route-able for VM connectivity)
b) 1 nic (requires 3 ips)

Additionally I've proposed an update to the Standalone role[1] that
includes Controller + Compute on a single node. With this I was able
to try out Keystone, Nova, Neutron (with ovs, floating ips), Glance
(backed by Swift), Cinder (lvm).  This configuration took about 35
mins to go from 0 to cloud on a single 16gb VM hosted on some old
hardware.

Thanks,
