Open Stack

I'm in support, mainly for quite a few reasons:

- The vendor data should/might need to be be released often.  If a
provider makes a change, it'd be nice that you can pick it up without
changing everything else that sits in your system (and potentially
breaking other things)
- We can add some very sort of basic gating that at least make sure
the endpoints are responding
- If we want to add a new region, we really shouldn't have to go
through many hours of OpenStack SDK jobs to pick them up

I'm all for it!
