- linsomniac 2y agoThe latest release is almost 3 years ago, but the repo has commits a month ago. So I guess it depends on your definition of "alive". As "stable" software, I'm fine with it not having a ton of active development. It's been a real workhorse for me, I've got it running on 2 clusters of 6 physical machines each (1.4TB total RAM, 50TB disc, each). ~6 years ago I went to a local Dell dog and pony show where someone at the next table was poo-pooing on "those greybeards that run Debian and ganeti" instead of VMWare. But, this shit works...
- p_l 2y agoGood to hear. VMware used to be honestly my preferred option because it handled certain hairy things well out of the box that many other solutions either ignore or require non trivial integration work (for example it's trivial to connect a VMware VM to piss-poor external network by simply attaching a VLAN - which matters when the network is a fieldbus in some OT deployment) Ganeti I remember as comparatively harder to deploy (nothing was harder than openstack though)
