This is the first ever project that ports Android OS into an image that can be used to create Android virtual machines running on Openstack clouds with full virtualisation support. Currently we only support Android 4.4 Kitkat 64bit distribution.

Instructons on how to create the image yourself: http://thisismyeye.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/enabling-virtio-drivers-on-kernel-for.html

Identity is everything. Protect it with Duo.

It’s no secret — passwords can be a real headache, both for the people who use them and the people who manage them. Over time, we’ve created hundreds of passwords, it’s easy to lose track of them and they’re easily compromised. Fortunately, passwordless authentication is becoming a feasible reality for many businesses. Duo can help you get there.
