Suggestions on OpenStack installer
hi All, We are planning to build a private cloud for our department at academic institution. We are a born-in public-cloud institution. Idea is to have a hybrid cloud. Few important requirements: * No vendor lock-in of hardware and software/distribution. * Preferably stable software from openstack.org. * Also need to support Accelerated instances (GPU,FPGA,Other PCIecard). * On standard rack servers with remote systems management for the nodes (IPMI based) * Need to support Instances [VMs (Qemu-KVM), Containers (Docker, LXC), Bare metal (Ubuntu)]. * Workload will be Software Development/Test (on VMs) and Benchmarking (on baremetal/container). * Smooth upgrades. Could anyone suggest stable Openstack installer for our multi-node setup (initially 40 physical machines, later around 80)? Upgrades should be smooth. Any pointers to reference architecture will also be helpful. PS: I have tried devstack recently. It works. Kolla fails. I tried packstack few years back. Appreciate any help. cheers, Maruthi Inukonda.
Hi, could you describe what are the issues faced with kolla so we can fix them? Thanks On Sat, Feb 2, 2019, 5:46 PM Maruthi Inukonda <maruthi.inukonda@gmail.com> wrote:

What he said. I run multiple clusters deployed with Kolla. There's a bit of a learning curve as with anything, but it works great for me. The openstack-kolla IRC channel on freenode is also a good resource if you're having issues. -Erik
