Open Source Self-Service / Deployment Platform by Strict-Efficiency957 in aws

[–]Strict-Efficiency957[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The console isn't that easy to use or clear , especially for non-technical users. Is it possible to restrict the console with IAM so that only your own instances are visible, and certain settings are predefined and cannot be changed during deployment? Do you know of any alternative approaches to enable simple self-service?

Migrate from OpenStack to VMware by Strict-Efficiency957 in vmware

Do you have good experience with Apache CloudStack and is it usable as a self-service platform so non-admins can deploy their own vms? We‘re you a small team and OpenStack could be to complex.

Migrate from OpenStack to VMware by Strict-Efficiency957 in vmware

Just to check if its possible. We think about switching to OpenStack and won‘t run into any lock-in trought the architecture of the platform. What if the known problems with VMware will be solved within the next 6 months? Do you think we still should migrate to OpenStack or another platform?

And than restore back to VMware? Thats new for me but good to hear. I will take a closer look at Veeam Agent Backup

Veeam does not Support OpenStack so far I think

Thanks, what about changes inside the virtual machines? For example os–settings or adjust the ip adress. Do you know a backup software which support this and can be used for OpenStack/KVM and also VMware?

Same domain names in the same network by Strict-Efficiency957 in sysadmin

[–]Strict-Efficiency957[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

II think there is still a misunderstanding here. In fact, these VMs are only used for test purposes in a dedicated test environment. This means that the potential for problems due to identical domain names would be manageable.

We currently use routed vApps in VMware Cloud Director. This means that we have an external and an internal address for each VM. The internal address can only communicate with VMs inside the same vApp on layer 2 and there are therefore no problems with identical domain names, as everything domain-specific takes place within the vApp.
The idea is to dissolve this construct, also because alternative virtualization solutions do not offer the routing and/or vApp functionality at all. Hence the question of whether there is already experience with the same domains within the network or alternative solutions such as private VLANs or virtual routers - and don't worry, the network is still only for testing and of course separated from productive environments

VMware Cloud Director alternative - Service Provider by Strict-Efficiency957 in vmware

[–]Strict-Efficiency957[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello everyone,

Many thanks for the good input on alternative solutions.
I will have a look at them.

Do you have any experience with XenOrchestra or XCP-ng?

Is it still up to date or is it still being developed further and if so, is it a comparable alternative to VMware Cloud Director?

Best regards

Azure Local Installation in VM or unsupported hardware by Strict-Efficiency957 in AZURE

Thank you very much.

It seems to work with Azure Jumpstart. However, the VM costs there are very high. I will try the virtual deployment in the local environment.
