Thanks for fielding questions - the article mentioned bare metal provisioning with OpenStack. Are you planning on using this https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Baremetal ? Another method I could envision would be using LXC's as the back end for compute instead of KVM, giving users self provisioning closer to the metal - I just wanted to clarify what method was planned.

Yes! I'm particularly writing stuff for the baremetal IPMI, as far as I know we don't have any of this on production though

Sounds like a fun opportunity! And yeah, that's fair - I doubt anybody has baremetal via OpenStack in production yet. Looks like it was added in the Grizzly release. I'll have to check this out.
