            This option enables Nova, also known as OpenStack Compute,
            a cloud computing system, as a single-machine
            installation.  That is, all of Nova's components are
            enabled on this machine, using SQLite as Nova's database.
            This is useful for evaluating and experimenting with Nova.
            However, for a real cloud computing environment, you'll
            want to enable some of Nova's services on other machines,
            and use a database such as MySQL.
