Fran If you are implementing your cloud environment using those three then I hope you are aware of and using Canonica's JUJU to deploy <ul><li>ubuntu</li><li>openstack </li><li>and cloudfoundry,</li></ul><a href="https://juju.ubuntu.com/docs/charm-store.html">The JuJu Charm Store website</a> has lots of information to help you get started With JuJu all of it becomes much simpler to do and can save a lot of time. There are JUJU charms for each and it will also give you the benefit of testing using nothing more than a PC or a laptop running Ubuntu with LXC installed and running openstack & cloudfoundry (via JUJU) in LXC containers until you get the kinks of your architecture worked out. You can even run OpenStack in LXC containers in something like AWS's EC2 cloud.
