Open Stack

The promise of the training labs is to install an OpenStack cluster at the
push of a button. I have finally taken the time to try it out and hit an
obstacle very early in the process.

My OS is Centos 7.1, more precisely "CentOS Linux release 7.1.1503 (Core)".
The obstacle is VirtualBox, more precisely the installation of the vboxdrv
kernel module. 

Details if you are interested: The vboxdrv module build process fails
because the version of the required kernel-devel package is not quite
identical to the version of the installed kernel (3.10.0-229.20.1 versus
3.10.0-229). This confuses the build script.

yum upgrade didn't change this.

No doubt the problem can be resolved easily. My point is that VirtualBox may
be installed easily on Ubuntu (there is a Ubuntu-maintained package), but
not necessarily on other systems. A push-button installation of the training
labs on my Centos system is not possible.

Would it be useful to port the training labs to KVM? Is anybody working on
this? If the answers are yes and no, respectively, I will give it a try.
