The charms are your best bet if you want to run all the ops yourself.
They are also a very good way to come to understand how all the parts of
OpenStack fit together.

But do look into the pricing of Landscape, we've aimed to reach a mass
market including universities (several of our fully-managed deployments
are university research offices). The cost runs from $300 to $700 per
server, or alternatively fixed banded cost for clouds of particular
sizes that reduce the per-node cost. I think you'd need at least a few
admins with detailed OpenStack knowledge to match it. May as well keep
your ops folks focused on the actual workloads that define the operation
rather than infrastructure, is the thinking.
