   Thank you! =) I'm hoping that I will be able to convince another school to   
   dump Azure in favour of our OpenStack environment. Would be wonderful to   
   have combatted the forces of darkness, and won, at two schools! =)   
      
   They like the fact that I can give them a fixed price per student and   
   month, instead of the shitshow that is Azure pricing. They also like that   
   the school gets a dedicated server, so should someone break in and do   
   crypto mining, they won't get a large bill like they do with Azure.   
      
   More often than you would think, do student credentials leak to github and   
   then they pay for someone crypto mining. That problem they won't have with   
   my environment. =)
