These days, even computer science departments are completely based on
Google services, say.  Students don't even have the chance to run the

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. =)
