Hi Frans,

You are right, this guide is one of the outcomes of a practical part of my
PhD work at the University of Melbourne. The guide started as a
documentation of the installation process that we went through to get
OpenStack up and running on our lab's testbed. Currently, I'm working on a
framework for dynamic consolidation of virtual machines based on OpenStack:

In my opinion, OpenStack is a great tool for research and educational
purposes.

Best regards,
Anton
