Presumably this is a public OpenStack cloud? If so... It's been a while since I worked at a public OpenStack cloud, but most I would imagine will auto create a tenant network and router (if they can afford the public IPv4s for the router :)) and then when a user creates an instance it just ends up on that initial "default" tenant network. This is usually left to the public cloud to implement during their customer on-boarding process. That is assuming the public cloud is allowing tenant "private" networks, which not all would do. There are other models. Now, a load balancer, if that is required, is different and bit harder if you mean one that is managed by the OpenStack cloud, as opposed to a user creating their own LB instance. Perhaps what you are really thinking about is the simplicity of a more "VPS" like interface, ala Digital Ocean (and now somewhat mimicked by AWS with uh, LightSail I think). I've always thought it would perhaps be a nice project in OpenStack to do a simple VPS style interface.
