Open Stack

I found it was easier to abstract up a layer. I have a single interface (Altair's PBS) that can launch onto
either local openstack hardware or out onto EC2 instances. 

Both Altair and Bright Computing make software that can do this for you quite nicely.
There might be others too, but of course neither are free.

But if you look at the whole compute environment from the point of view of a batch system (pbs/slurm/etc)
its fairly easy to create the scripts/hooks that can create instances either in local openstack or EC2.

But if there are other more robust options I would be interested in other 'stackers' opinions.
