Can we have some at Labs please?
Labs nodes provisioned for and by labs users are virtual machines.
Labs has dedicated bare metal just for labs but it is not directly exposed
to labs users.
We could theoretically copy the approach at
http://www.rackspace.com/cloud/servers/onmetal but that probably would not
be a very good allocation of resources. (both capital and human) Labs is
well suited for virtualization. (nova and the other OSM, OpenstackManager
are not perfect. We can and do fix them and if needed can explore other
options. but bare metal is unnecessary for all labs workloads I'm aware of)
