- VDI (VirtualBox Disk Image) -- VirtualBox's own container format
- VMDK (Virtual Machine Disk) -- open source
- VHD (Virtual Hard Disk) -- Microsoft
- HDD (Parallels Hard Disk)
- QED (QEUMU enhanced disk)
- QCOW (QEMU Copy-On-Write)

jpich suggested that I join the OpenStack development mailing list
Subscribe: http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev Archives: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/
and not the general mailing list openstack@lists.launchpad.net
After I setup port forwarding following
http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/networking/forwarded_ports.html, I was able to
access the dashboard at http://localhost:8080/ and login with username
admin and the password set in localrc:
ADMIN_PASSWORD=nomoresecrete
jpich told me to navigate to http://localhost:8080/project/ to see the Project overview page. She said that
The project home page (overview) already calls to multiple services (nova, cinder, neutron, + keystone when you logged in) so if that works you're in good shape.
Also, she said that I should be able to see quotas from the different components.
On that project overview page, I see quotas like
Instances Used 0 of 10
VCPUs Used 0 of 20
RAM Used 0 MB of 51,200 MB
Floating IPs Used 0 of 10
Security Groups Used 0 of 10
Anyways, the dashboard is accessible and working!
