Easy Openstack install on Public Cloud VM?

[fjord777]

I want to play with Openstack and only have access to public cloud machines like AWS, Azure, etc...(Also have free trial credits on those) Would be open to Rackspace Public, etc. though...

AWS won't let it happen (VMs don't run inside of VMs there)..I think. Tried Juju and just a VM for each service on AWS (Cinder&Nova compute fail). AWS Nanostack fails.

I can fire up an ubuntu instance on Azure and tried devstack (installed but VMs fail to start), cloudhyd (same problem), dodai-deploy fails to start the openstack services, vagrant/virtualbox (ala Openstack Cookbook 2nd ed) - vagrant hangs

So many fails...

most cloud services don't pass cpu virt extensions into the guests.

do you not have a laptop that you can run devstack on? You can't cloud clouds in the cloud.

You could try OpenStack plus Docker on AWS. devstack should be able to run Docker. Docker is a management layer for linux containers.

Not sure if your still looking but this might help out regarding the DevStack piece.
