Why don't you use AZ for this. So you can select where you want to run a specific VM. Then you have VM on KVM, XEN etc.. based on the AZ.

I realize there have been some discussions on this in the recent past, but it has become somewhat difficult to follow.  So, I would like to take a fresh approach with  a fresh question.

I have the following configuration:

-          Controller with identity, dashboard, orchestration, image, telemetry
-          Network box with neutron
-          3 compute nodes (1 with LVM, 1 with Xen, 1 with VMware)
-          1 volume node with cinder block storage (this will soon become 1 proxy server and 5 storage servers for swift object store)

As you can see, I would like to have 3 common flavors of hypervisors so I can pick best of breed.  From what I've read, qemu is the best (only) approach for this.  At this point, I have all the necessary packages installed and working on everything but the compute nodes.  What I need to do is to build an KVM node and a Xen node first, then worry about VMware later.

So, I need a definitive build cookbook for bringing up LVM and Xen nodes using qemu.  Right now when I try to launch instances they just get funky errors and die.  Can I pick any/all the brains of you out n OpenStack land?

Thanks!
