As someone who is running a rather large Openstack install (3500~ VMs) I agree with the statements on what needs to change, Making it easier to install would be nice, Kolla / Openstack-Anisble are pretty OK, just when they explode its really hard to figure out why it exploded, This on top of lack luster community support (Their IRC channels are /very/ dead when it comes to support) what people mean when its "consulting-ware" is that there are no real documentation on the failure states, tunables, and intermixed services. it has rather shit logs (90% of the time its just a python stacktrace shown to the end user) so you have to hit up a consultant that has had to deal with all the BS that openstack has.
- candiddevmike 4y agoIMO vendors made OpenStack that way to ensure you always need some kind of third party to manage it. Kubernetes is going the same route.
- jetbalsa 4y agoand oh boy do they charge for managing a Openstack, a 8 Node support contract from Redhat was north of 80k/yr on top of telling me that Openstack is dead, have you tried Openshift :V
- neverartful 4y agoDid you mean to say 'charge' instead of 'change'?
- jetbalsa 4y agoYes, My comment has been updated.
- OpenStackN00b 4y agoRegarding the installation / maintenance: Are you aware about Yaook (https://yaook.cloud/ https://yaook.cloud/)?
- mdaniel 4y agohttps://gitlab.com/yaook/operator https://gitlab.com/yaook/operator > Deploys OpenStack services on top of a Kubernetes cluster. Fascinating. Although surfing around their GL org it seems they're still very early in that process
