>>> That Crowbar gets OS will be a great think, ill be thinking, if i deploy
a schema with openstack as oschestrator, integrated with xen, if i use chef,
to interact with the openstack api  ( knife-openstack) ill be at the end
creating a VM on my clustered XCP environment since my openstack is
interacting directly with the xen-api in my master node, is that correct ?
