Thank you! =) I'm hoping that I will be able to convince another school to 
dump Azure in favour of our OpenStack environment. Would be wonderful to 
have combatted the forces of darkness, and won, at two schools! =)

They like the fact that I can give them a fixed price per student and 
month, instead of the shitshow that is Azure pricing. They also like that 
the school gets a dedicated server, so should someone break in and do 
crypto mining, they won't get a large bill like they do with Azure.

More often than you would think, do student credentials leak to github and 
then they pay for someone crypto mining. That problem they won't have with 
my environment. =)
