Hi,
So we need to test our AI/ML frameworks using our chips on nodes. We have a custom django rest api with frontend where our devs can request for a k8s cluster so that they can run their workload inside a pod which accesses chips on the hardware to perform AI/ML activities. We already have ironic working for baremetal provisioning. More than GUI, we are interested in the API part of magnum, whether all that is there in GUI is exposed as api via openstack so that our restapi+frontend can offer it to our devs. We could not find any installation material apart from what we have on openstack guide itself (https://docs.openstack.org/magnum/latest/install/index.html), We are currently running ussuri (I know it is EOL) but we plan to have openstack-helm in few months from a vendor so that should solve the problem but for now, at least to do POC, we were hoping to get this installed+integrated with our regular openstack on baremetal. If any of you have a better installation+integration guide for magnum, then it will be greatly appreciated. devstack was a no go after many days, we could not even get it going. So we want to bite the bullet and install magnum on openstack itself.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi,

Read your post on Reddit. From an operator's perspective, Magnum allows
us to easily let users provision a Kubernetes cluster with a few clicks
and go straight into k8s. We are already operating an OpenStack cloud so
Magnum with the Openstack integration was a great choice.

What is best for you will depend a lot on a few factors:

- Your familiarity with OpenStack and size/features of your current cloud
- Size / Number of clusters and Day 1 operations
- What kind of service you want provide

It is difficult to give a great answer without knowing more details
about your situation. Feel free to ping me on this email with more
information if you are not comfortable with sharing internal details on
the internet.

Regards,
Jake
