This is mostly a result of either high costs of hardware or the difficulty of the deployment in a particular environment.<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nIn order to help the community to interact more with cloud computing and learn about it, Cloudbase Solutions has come up with a simple VirtualBox driver\u00a0for OpenStack. VirtualBox\u00a0allows you to set up a cloud environment on your personal laptop, no matter which operating system\u00a0you&#8217;re using (Windows, Linux, OS X). It also gets the job done with a free and familiar virtualization environment.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Nova hypervisor support matrix<\/h3>\n<table class=\"cbsl-juju-table\" cellspacing=\"0\"
