Open Stack

FWIW, my test machine at home is from System76. It's got 24G RAM and
an i7 12-core processor and runs OpenStack via devstack.sh pretty well
:) All for around $2400USD. You can get a 4-core, 16G system for aroun
$700USD a box.

I've had laptops and desktops from them and I highly recommend them.
They come with Ubuntu installed, so no need to either pay for a
Windows license/tax or wipe Windows partition and install a *nix.

Cheers,
-jay

>> Frans,
>> the single node configuration of the Stackops Distro can work in very modest environments. A P4 and 1.5GB should be enough if you want to deploy m1.tiny instances with QEMU. If you want to manage the deployment in a training lab probably you should check the tool.
