I thought I would point out a few things 1) Did you happen to see this guys step by step instructions for creating a cloud image: http://terrarum.net/blog/creating-a-gentoo-cloud-image.html
I basically followed these instructions a year or so ago, and with a few tweaks was able to get Gentoo running on OpenStack. 2) I have extensive knowledge of OpenStack, it's been my profession for the past 2 years, so if you need any assistance, let me know. There are automated platforms such as Fuel by Mirantis that can help people deploy OpenStack on a virtual environment in case anyone wanted to try it out. Also DevStack is another common platform people use to test with. Just throwing my 2 cents into the conversation - Daniel On Mon, Jun 8, 2015 at 12:56 PM, Matthew Thode <[email protected]> wrote: > On 06/08/2015 01:38 PM, [email protected] wrote: > > On 06/08/2015 10:30 AM, Matthew Thode wrote: > >> Hi, > >> > >> I've just started generation of Gentoo Openstack images.
