Open Stack

Could you elaborate on your thinking here, Remo? I've had the
opposite experience. I found Devstack frustrating because it presumes a
single-node installation, and I'd lose all my settings every time I
reran the script, and there's still a high degree of knowledge of the
components if you want to go further. As the name suggests, it's really
aimed at the developers of OpenStack and not a "trial-run" or "test"
installation. 

RDO doesn't offer things like High Availability and
won't run on non-RedHat/CentOS/Fedora nodes. (I don't know about Ceph
offerings.) 

After months of trying and retrying I stumbled upon
Mirantis and had it running inside VirtualBox in minutes with Ubuntu
nodes! I then did a bare-metal installation and I was more easily able
to distinguish what was my own hardware/network issues, and what were
gaps in my OpenStack knowledge. Fuel gave me an 'Ahah!' moment with
Neutron and networking which was previously hidden in installation
detail. "Choices" that aren't very clear in the OS documentation as to
their benefits or hindrances became simple radio buttons and check boxes
which I could play with and try out. I can also have Fuel verify and
recheck my settings (something which I'd started writing my own scripts
for, but was glad to scrap as they were becoming complex and
cumbersome.) 

I can't speak highly enough of Mirantis (and currently
have a 4.0 installation running as of this morning). My only complaint
is that they require registration for download, which is a little
strange for an "open" product. (But then a number of companies are
trying different things to monetise their development, and that's a
whole different discussion.) 

I'm interested to hear your thinking.


Cheers,
Tudor.

I have not tried 4.0 but the previous version impressed me a lot
comparing RDO and manual processes. Regards, Howard On Mon, Dec 30, 2013
