I’ve used Openstack at my current $dayjob and I’d say that Openstack is probably one of the buggiest solutions that I’ve ever used. Even simple things like stopping or resizing VM-s sometimes failed completely and the VM came unusable after that. Feature wise it’s also lacking. Seems that Openstack spends more time/money on marketing and generating hype than creating a good solution.
I’d even say that Docker has a somewhat similar problems, they spend more on hype/marketing than creating a stable and usable solution. However, at least Docker is more usable right now than a year ago, the same can’t be said about Openstack.
- mkulke 11y agoI guess those expectations are part of the problem, a talk in the recent openstack conf higlighted this: OpenStack was initially created for what these days is called "cloud-native" workloads, every VM was considered ephemeral. companies and users then try to mould it into a cheaper VMWare and are frustrated how bad it is at this. Resizing, stopping VMs, while admittedly being a rather trivial tasks, point to this usage of OpenStack. When I would mourn the loss of individual VMs on OpenStack (or public clouds for that matter), I would turn gray soon.
