Thanks for posting that article, I've left some comments and questions 
in there for you. :)

Once I realized that conductor was timing out waiting for the response 
from the scheduler select_destinations() call, bumping the 
rpc_response_timeout config made things work.

Note that in my single-node fake driver devstack setup here I'm not 
creating real guests nor am I setting up networking. For the purpose of 
my test I was just interested in the conductor/scheduler/placement 
service interaction, not so much with the actual guest creation that 
happens in the compute service.
