This is essential to deploy a reliable and supportable environment. In order to maintain the simplicity of the UI, but also provide access to OpenStack's customisable configuration, why not do something like add an 'advanced' button into the UI. Under there, the additional options can be provided, and things that are already 'Advanced' (like the scheduler, the Ceph replication factor, etc) can move under the 'Advanced' button for each section. An additional very beneficial feature in the Advanced section would be to allow any arbitrary key-value pairs for any settings that a user may wish to deploy into the configuration files for the appropriate system (eg: nova.conf). The user can be warned that these will not be validated and that they are used at the user's own risk. This can allow any number of OpenStack underlying features to be used without requiring a specific UI for it.
