Mmm. So is MicroCloud essentially a glue between LXD + Ceph?
It's not really clear what the problem MicroCloud is trying to solve, though. Considering that LXD already supports multi-node clustering, why does anyone want another cluster manager on top of LXD?
- tyingq 3y agoParaphrased, they are saying LXD is more suited to running VMs or containers and not specifically microservices. It's missing sophisticated cross-container networking, centralized storage management, etc. So they are pitching a "simpler than K8S, more complicated than LXD" layer on top of LXD for that purpose. I suppose it also would compete with Proxmox, which is a somewhat different space than K8S. But other things it adds, like the web ui, RBAC, etc...put it in that space also.
- SoftTalker 3y agoI got Proxmox running in an on-prem cluster fairly easily. I was never able to figure out k8s. If MicroCloud is comparably easy to set up and manage as Proxmox, I'll definitely check it out.
