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

I could not agree more. Well said
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.

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?
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?

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

Its moved on to now OVN, so all major distros/package are slowly making OVN the default.
OVN is awesome
It looks like OVH has added a new service. Cloud Disk Array powered by Ceph

OpenStack is fine, but needlessly complex.
CEPH is pretty bad for anything other than very large archive space. You won't ever get the performance you should out of it. It works ok but any high i/o workload will make it cry and you'll continually experience lots of random issues with it. Go for a paid provider on your storage architecture and you'll be much better off.
That's an incredibly broad stroke.
OpenStack has it's value in some cases, CEPH also has it value in some cases. To diminish both as extreme edge case solutions in favor of a paid product is comparing technology value with a payment model.
If the OP hears anything, it should be to ignore comments like this.

I have a lot of experience with virtual networking using OpenStack, VMware and others. Ping me if you have specific questions, happy to help.
