HI Chris, We (in WSO2) are testing AWS and local OpenStack cloud for Stratos. But I have separate laptop ( 8 GB ) for OpenStack with KVM, which I use some developer testing for Stratos. I am running Stratos servers in my laptop and pointing to OpenStack setup which in other laptop.
I tried OpenStack Havana with docker in my mac virtual box VM, but still could not set it up properly (will find some time to finish it). I thing thats the best option to do developer testing for Stratos. I will let you know when it finished.
