Open Stack

Hi Akihiro,

thanks for your reply. First of all: I'm not against Devstack. It's a 
very useful tool to install OpenStack in a easy way. The problems 
starting if you try to automate things and you trust the installation 
scripts everytime.
The runtime of the puppet-module which we developed this year takes at 
least one hour. If you don't have a powerful VM or a bad internet 
connection it takes a bit longer. So you are save with a 7200 seconds 
timeout.
On the other hand: DevStack code on master branch ist not stable at all. 
Beside that I wouldn't expect that but we had have a very bad phase in 
spring with a lots of broken installations. At the moment I deal also 
with python3 requirements on Ubuntu 14.04 installation of DevStack. It 
didn't work out.
The other things are easy: Fetching the translation files from Zanata, 
compile,restart apache, periodically. This things are already done.
The problems starting again if you want update DevStack or reboot the 
VM. Thats why I'm thinking about container. There is also an option in 
DevStack (on LXC) but I've never tried this.

kind regards

Frank
