There is momentum building behind Kayobe , our deployment tool of choice
for deploying OpenStack in performance-intensive and research-oriented
use cases. At the recent Open Infrastructure Summit in Denver,
Maciej Kucia and Maciej Siczek gave a great presentation
in which they spoke positively about their experiences with Kayobe:

At the same summit, our hands-on workshop on Kayobe deployment had
people queuing to get in, and received plenty of positive feedback
from attendees who rolled up their sleeves and worked through the
experience.
One significant piece of feedback from the workshop was that people wanted to
be able to try this workshop out at home, on their own resources, to enable
them to share the experience and understand at their leisure how it all fits
together.
So we added a page to the Kayobe docs for people looking to recreate
A Universe from Nothing
in their own time and space. As well as a step-by-step README
all the scripts for creating the lab environment are provided.
To recreate the lab, a single server is required with a fairly relaxed
baseline of requirements:
At least 32GB of RAM
At least 40GB of disk
CentOS 7 installed
Passwordless sudo for the lab user
Processor virtualisation should be enabled (nested virt if it is a VM)
Have fun!
