 1. OpenStack should be installed, and OpenStack services (keystone, nova, neutron, glance, etc) should be started.
 2. ONOS should be installed, and at a minimum, ONOS-Cord should be running the VTN app.

+This workflow exercises many of the capabilities of a CORD POD.  It
+does the following:
+  - Tears down XOS as well as all OpenStack state that it created
+  - Onboards all CORD services, and configures the ONOS apps
+  - Creates a sample CORD subscriber (which spins up a vSG)

 #### Logging into XOS on CloudLab (or any remote host)
 
-The XOS service is accessible on the POD at `http://xos/`, but `xos` maps to a private IP address
-on the management network.  If you install CORD on CloudLab 
-you will not be able to directly access the XOS GUI.
-In order to log into the XOS GUI in the browser on your local machine (desktop or laptop), 
-you can set up an SSH tunnel to your CloudLab node.  Assuming that 
-`<your-cloudlab-node>` is the DNS name of the CloudLab node hosting your experiment,
-run the following on your local machine to create the tunnel:
-
-```
-$ ssh -L 8888:xos:80 <your-cloudlab-node>

-Then you should be able to access the XOS GUI by pointing your browser to
