Hmm, yeah definitely deployment specific. Also, if you're doing boot 
from volume where nova is creating the volume, that's going to add 
additional time depending on the size of the volume, whether the image 
is cached, etc. And there are separate timeouts in the compute manager 
for waiting for the volume to be available for attaching to the server.
