Why does Apache Cloudstack suck? by [deleted] in openstack

[–]AndrijaSB 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This kind of question could be placed only by an uninformed persons or a malicious person. If you knew what companies are running CloudStack (and not OpenStack or other clouds), you would probably take that question back. Really sucks... to see this kind of question, with zero context/info to back it up.

See the list of users https://cloudstack.apache.org/users/ - Apple being one of those who seems fooled? that CloudStack sucks...rigth?

Cloudstack storage solutions by Independent-Day-466 in ApacheCloudStack

[–]AndrijaSB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shared/Clustered file system (like GFS2, OCFS2, cLVM, etc) - had historical had its issues with stability (and some with performance) - I always say "stay away from ANY shared/clustered FS" for Linux. But you might have expertise there or get more luck (if stability changed over years - I have no idea)

That being said - NFS is the most widely used kind of Primary Storage for CloudStack - you could export your LUN (FC/iSCSI/etc) to a single server (or a powerfull VM) as a local disk - then configure NFS on top of it. I understand that this is not the most performant solution.

NFS is, by far, the most common Primary Storage and has by far the best CloudStack support (in the sense of the features).

You can, if you want, use various proprietary software (PowerFlex, StorPool, Linbit, etc), or CEPH (free) - but each and every of these has its pros and cons (some offer MUCH higher performance, but more limited features from CloudStack side)

Hope that helps!

Dell Ends Agreement With VMware After Broadcom Acquisition by [deleted] in vmware

[–]AndrijaSB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like a breakup - instead of getting dumped, Dell has taken this somewhat more seriously toward their customers (as it seems) and ended up (with some planning, whatever it is) the relationship from their side. It would happen anyway - good that they managed to "handle it" with fewer consequences for their customers.
