We currently are using proxmox for a envrionment management, and while we were looking at DFS options we came across openstack, and we've decided to start looking at it as a replacement for proxmox. Has anyone made this migration before?

Keep on mind that you're still going to need a storage system like Ceph separate from Openstack whereas you may be used concept being native in Proxmox. Besides that, migration is pretty straightforward. I assume you're already running on KVM, so you should be able to snapshot and import your current instances, volumes, etc. Currently we're running a few Windows Server 12/16/19 virtual machines, but

mostly centOS7 virtual machines, however what we are developing are micro-services that ideally would be deployed using k8s.

Openstack and k8s are great together. Check out the Openstack Magnum project, cloudprovider-openstack, and if you're trying to so multiattach persistent volumes, Manila. Does anyone have any experience migrating between the two, or any other

recommendation when considering openstack?

Follow one of the install guides on docs.openstack.org to do a manual install so you get familiar with all the bits and bobs under the hood. After that, pick a deployment project to create your production cluster. Kolla-ansible, Openstack-ansible, Triple-O, and Juju are some popular ones. Cheers, Erik
