No, this is for a development environment as well. For a production
environment your going to want look into things like Chef, Puppet,
Crowbar, etc.

here is the chef cookbook for Xen+OpenStack:

Instead of having to pull the nova source and copy the xen-api plugins
by coping them into place (e.g.
http://wiki.openstack.org/XenServerDevelopment#Install_Nova_plugins)
you can instead just install the RPM on dom0.

Thank you for your efforts and documentation. I also wanted to mention
that we also have xcp-toolstack branch for using xcp-api packages on
Debian/Ubuntu (see
https://lists.launchpad.net/openstack/msg07759.html)

Cheers,
Todd
