Hi All
Nice to see interest.
What vagrant does is that it eases creation manipulation and
provisioning of dev vms.
If inside one of these vms you run openstack then you have a local
cloud where your initial vagrant box is running other vms inside.
Andrei: Setting vagrant up to run openstack is feasible (i've done it)
and there are several tutorials on how to do it.
Still there are some important decisions/issues:
- Do we use a box pre-configured with open-stack or do we provision a
base box (much like whirr already does).
- Ca we easily integrate vagrant with whirr (don't see any major
problems but haven't tried).
- Will we have timeout issues?
I can kickstart the effort but it would be cool to have someone else
involved, as I'm a bit pressed for time at the moment.
