My work laptop runs RHEL with KVM and virt-manager installed and I use that for quick VMs to do some fast troubleshooting/issue reproduction. Its when I out grow the RAM on my laptop (and the disk too if I really want to do anything with Satellite and capsules) is where I have problems. OpenShift and OpenStack don't play well in small memory environments. :)
Thanks for the pointers. I think I will get a NUC with an external USB hard drive to start with.
