We've been looking at and trying to scope up getting an RDO cloud in place, that could then be used for 3 things :

1. making an openstack api available for people who want to just consume

VM's for their workloads

2. migrating the slaves into openstack managed ( ie, self/user managed )

virtual machines

3. offering up image backed resources for people looking at doing

testing with other OSs, eg what the libvirt and libguestfs folks do at the moment.

We have a dedicated hardware slab ( ~ 24 phy machines worth ) dedicated to this task ( so as to not cut into the ci baremetal pools ), but are waiting on the RH facility folks to get it wired up and dial-toned.

Given the nature and impact of this setup, I am going to try and see if we can speed up delivery of that infra from the present timeline of end Feb '16.

Do you expect this service to be available soon?
