Open Stack

Sean:

Could you say a little more about why it is that running nova-compute
inside of a VM makes it easier to integrate with nova-network or quantum
(ova)?

The OpenStack docs on VMWare <
http://docs.openstack.org/folsom/openstack-compute/admin/content/vmware.html>
unfortunately don't have any detail about this.

Also, is the VM that runs nova-compute supposed to be managed by OpenStack,
or is it supposed to be set up manually?

Take care,

Lorin
