Has anyone built a OpenStack virtual appliance that you know of? I was planning to get OpenStack running this week I am trying to decide on the best platform, etc. I would be willing start on an XCP appliance to test with and contribute it back as possible. Do you have a recommended/suggested guest OS? Are there still logistical problems with swift running in the virtual appliance as well.

If true, what would this mean for a virtual appliance-based model?
