Thanks a lot for your awesome suggestions boulos! It is much appreciated and I think our web team is already working on fixing some of the things you mentioned!
I think you have many valid points and let me try to answer some of your questions:
- Our Stack is based on Devuan, OpenNebula, Ceph, KVM, cdist, Django, Keepalived, radvd, nftables, bind and tayga...
- ... which brings me to another point that I haven't mentioned: we are also 100% IPv6. No VM has IPv4 addresses, but our routers do stateless NAT64 so that VMs are still reachable by IPv4.
- No Kubernetes yet, but containerisation is on our roadmap
- Git repo: there are actually many! Most if not all on https://github.com/ungleich/ https://github.com/ungleich/ are directly used or at least related
- We do actually have a blog at https://blog.ungleich.ch/en-us/blog/ https://blog.ungleich.ch/en-us/blog/ - mostly engineering, partly also content from our other project "Digital Glarus" (www.digitalglarus.ch)
- How we found this factory hall? By bike. It's just pretty here and if you ask the right people, you literally get door openers!
- Regarding additional services: load balancing is planned to be either provided with OpenNebula or custom (because we already have cdist types for it) - the challenge here is that our billing system is not that far developed at the moment
- Object and block storage is also on the roadmap and we can probably provide it directly from Ceph - again the billing part is the current challenge at the moment
- Name point taken - we are great in finding bad names (that's why we are called ungleich)
- Small conferences: Sounds indeed like a good idea - we have been sponsoring the OpenNebula conference in Spain so far (because we use their software), but targeting Switzerland is indeed a better idea
Thanks again for your great input, it helps us (me) a lot!
- boulos 9y agoCool! Seems like you have a lot of content you could write up. You should absolutely highlight the IPv6 bit. Find the time to make real-time metering and billing an integral part of your system; it's critical to a customer's experience and it gets to be super embarrassing that you can spin machines up and down quickly but can't tell someone how much they're spending (cough cough). I want to clarify the Switzerland thing: I meant sponsor beer or whatever at a security/crypto/privacy-focused event.
