So you’re deploying a cloud…
▪ Its seldom easy
▪ Stay away from latest releases
▪ “Chasing trunk” is ugly
▪ Try to stay on happy path
configurations if possible
▪ Need well defined defaults
“Xwindows?”
▪ Feels like the Linux distro wars

Toolchains, divide and conquer
▪ a toolchain is the set of programming
tools that are used to create a product
(wikipedia)
▪ Unix is a collection of utilities
▪ OpenStack itself is a large complex
toolchain
▪ Good programmers are lazy
▪ I spend a lot of time being lazy….
