DevStack

Configs updated 2017/2/28 to reflect what I'm using now.

As part of my continuing investigation into QuintupleO, I've been playing around with multi-node devstack to see how QuintupleO works across multiple compute hosts. The good news is that the answer is "quite well" (another blog post on that topic is probably needed as well), and since some of the devstack multi-host documentation I found through Google was a bit out of date, I thought I'd go ahead and post what I've been using for my devstack setup.

I've been meaning to write something up about how I set up my OpenStack development environment because there are some handy things you can do before you even get started that will likely save you some hassle down the line. I've recently discovered that there are rather varied ways other people are doing this sort of thing, so keep in mind that this isn't the "right" way, it isn't the best way, but it's what works for me.

It's been a humbling week for me. Which is good because it means I'm learning things, but I will admit it would be nice to not find out I'm completely wrong about quite so many things in such a short span of time. I figured I would share what I've learned so it might be useful to someone else, because evidently it wasn't obvious to me.
