Open Stack

Hello,

Seems like the model makes for easier maintenance while also pushing the

Having just done a hands-on OpenStack workshop today, I agree with this.
But I do understand that "installation instructions" can be different from
"training instructions".

If there is consensus to use a helper tool, I'd like to suggest the use of
the devstack "iniset" function:

https://github.com/openstack-dev/devstack/blob/master/functions-common#L81-L116

By copying and pasting those highlighted lines either directly into the
user's shell or into a shell script and executing, the user will then have
a bash function called "iniset" that works the same way that crudini and
openstack-config work.

The benefit of iniset is that it will work on all distributions and not
require a special tool to be installed. I personally use this snippet for
quick OpenStack installs and testing. The downside of iniset is that it
requires a user to "enable" it in their current shell session and might
seem awkward.

Thanks,
Joe
