While they are fully compliant with the AGPLv3 and can say "our stuff is open source", this satisfies only the strictest sense of the license. It doesn't supporting integration with most distributions' repositories. This ends up looking like a commercial product to most users look for personal to enterprise scale management front ends.
I agree, but XCP-ng is still the most attractive system on the market for home / small business use in my opinion. Xen Orchestra itself isn't needed either, I do most stuff on the cli and code-monkeying arguably reinforces that even more. Patching up something that allows you to VNC a VM for the initial setup/debug doesn't require much investment / knowhow.
- naishoya 2mo agoI do also fully agree that XCP-ng is the most attractive for small projects. I also think there is a spot in the market for a better management interface - similar to Orchestra, actually 'free' as in beer, not just speech, and that the 'moat' for the maker of that product could be in 'value added' actual live support, but thats just me.
- naishoya 2mo agoI'm excited to see the Edera approach to NUMA awareness for Xen, fixed pCPU pinning and hand-tuning memory management is tedious when it becomes necessary for HCP type workloads. It will be interesting to see if any of this makes it upstream into the Xen main kernel as an option.
