The Homelab Show Episode 60: Openstack

[BenErridge]

We've been running openstack in our small business for 9 years now and we've leveraged it with great success. I'm happy to see this being covered on your channel! Thanks! We've compared the cost to running in the cloud and it saves us an awful lot of money.

Openstack is HARD. The biggest challenge I found when reading up online and having a play around is that 99% of documentation you read doesn't make it clear what needs to be configured and where I.e. physical hardware or virtually. What I've found is that you need to understand advanced traditional corporate networking 101 before even considering these additional layers of virtulization. It looks so easy when you click a button in AWS :-D

Been using openstack ansible since 2012, about time you covered this.

This was really good guys. I see a live stream coming, installing openstack - nudge nudge wink wink

[sulaimanaldarmaki]

great believe it or not I was about to ask Jay or Lawrence to cover openstack

[groovetrain]

Where are the links to all the products mentioned?

[abee]

Openstack documentation is what made me switch to ovirt and then proxmox, they tell you this is the latest doc then link to t
other pages where it tells you this is an archive or an old doc, its all over the place but it definitely has lots of potential with all the options of tools whether ceph for storage as an example and all the other potential options then you have things for compute and networking, etc its deeeep

Apache Cloud Stack makes more sense from a "understandability" point of view.

[densonngumo]

How does Openstack compare to Cloudstack?

Openstack does not suit a homelab show. Maybe a enterprise-lab show. Iow: non-professional beware!
