OpenNebula 3.8 VirtualBox Sandbox

The sandbox is a virtual machine image with a pre-configured OpenNebula 3.8.1 front-end running CentOS 6.3. The sandbox is also configured to run virtual machines itself, so you can test OpenNebula with real virtual machines. Optionally other worker nodes can be enrolled to build small-scale cloud infrastructures. ====== 1.
