I'm glad and grateful they've open sourced their stack. Yet it sheds some amusing light on their pricing; Openstack at Rackspace: 30G Ram, 1.2T Disk = $1314/mo Rent a box at Hetzner, take the time to install Openstack; Openstack at Hetzner: 32G Ram, 2x3T Disks, probably faster CPU = $77/mo Obviously that only makes sense when your time is "free", and Hetzner is not exactly as solid as Rackspace. And you should rent a couple more boxes for redundancy. But still, I'm almost tempted to start a little Hetzner-Cloud...
