Hi,

We are re-designing our cloud solution, and would like to utilize OpenStack + CEPH (Storage) / KVM (VM) / OVS (Networking) . I'm wondering if anyone had experience with these stacks, and any suggestion on how to find / engage relevant communities to help us navigate tricky technical issues

Thanks

Another key piece we are developing our Public Cloud offerings with is OVS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_vSwitch, for network virtualization. Does anyone have any experience / opinion on that?


Its moved on to now OVN, so all major distros/package are slowly making OVN the default.
OVN is awesome
SolusVM2.0 with NFS storage would allow us to provide VM with some Cloud capabilities, much easier than OpenStack + KVM + Ceph + OVS.

We are using OpenStack + KVM + Ceph + OVS, as we would like to develop full stack IaaS + PaaS solutions (e.g., Container, Database as a service, Middleware etc..). This is not possuble with SolusVM2.0

Could you not just make things easier and use SolusVM 2.0, and add NFS storage to store the data for VMs using one of the following:

HA-NAS - https://www.ovhcloud.com/en-gb/stora...utions/nas-ha/
Enterprise File Storage - https://www.ovhcloud.com/en-gb/stora...-file-storage/

Have you already looked into it?

Totally agree Alex, tools like Proxmox & oVirt is a good solution to start for web hosting companies / startups who plans to offer VPS(s) to its customers. OpenStack is a full blown solution and would require more time and capital for setup and running it.

I could not agree more. Well said

The use cases for openstack vs the use cases in hosting are completely different. If for hosting you just need to deploy VPS, then proxmox is way easier.

OpenStack/CEPH comes into play when you need a full blown cloud solution.

Agree here and troubleshooting issues that pops up with Openstack would be a pain and may not be worth the efforts.


Very valid points. Not worthy the trouble, unless you really want to develop a full stack IaaS / PaaS platform with room to expand into a full-blown public cloud provider.

OpenStack is fine, but needlessly complex.

Openstack is the best open source framework for us to develop and evolve our full stack IaaS, PaaS solutioins for SME customers
