I just setup virtual machines on one hardware with Vagrant (this is just a test environment, not production!). I want to use a Puppet to configure them and next try to setup OpenStack. I am not sure If I am understanding how this should look at the end. Is it possible to have below architecture with OpenStack after all where I will run one Virtual Machine with Linux?

-------------------------------
|             VM              |
-------------------------------
| NOVA    | NOVA    | NOVA    |
-------------------------------
|          OpenStack          |
-------------------------------
|  Node   | Node    | Node    |
-------------------------------

(In my environment Nodes are just virtual machines, but my question concerns separate Hardware nodes)


After some comments...

Is it a language barrier, or? This is only my 'virtual environment'. If we imagine this virtual machines are a separate Nodes (e.g. every has 4 cores) the OpenStack is still the same, right?

Can I run one Virtual Machine across many Nodes with OpenStack? Is it possible to aggregate the computation power of separate machines in one virtual distributed operating system?
