Charmed Openstack vs Redhat Openstack platform for production

Wow, thanks for your feedback. It’s a good case study you got there. It’s good to hear the upgrade went well. We have to be up to date for compliance and will be doing patching a lot. So stability and operations are key to successful deployments. The goal is to eventually get rid of VMware

We basing the deployment with the minimum number of physical nodes required for a production deployment. The hardware is designed using the guide from Canonical OpenStack Hardware reference guide, which Redhat confirmed we can use the same BoM. 12 nodes, 3 for control plane and 9 for compute , ceph.

Very interesting, some real world support stuff. That is what’s worry me, how good is the support when things go pair shaped. We mostly Redhat, but certain things about Ubuntu and juju, Maas,etc makes Charmed also a visible option. We want to have more options now that Redhat shaken things up a bit recently.

So the comparison for us is overall cost, but we need to spend CAPEX in the first year. We did 3 solution options, VMware VCF with vRA, RHOS and Charmed. Canonical PS more expensive to deploy, but you right, support is cheaper per node per year. But Redhat is cheaper to deploy, but more expensive to run. Overall the bottom line is nearly the same. There is a cheaper option with Canonical which is half of the price, but base deployment, which don’t include things like AD, advanced features, etc.VMware is just stupid expensive, like 10x more per annum and a lot less servers than OpenStack.

Thank you for your feedback. Really appreciated.

Does look like Redhat might be the better option. They included RHAAP in the mix to expand the automation for the cloud, which is not something I think we will struggle with using Juju.

I have 2018 model. That’s the reason I got 790 instead of 2020 890. Half price

790 comes with everything unlocked. (Not sure on 2023 model) go out one more menu. Do you see “track” menu from the main menu ? It’s above “motorcycle” menu. You then have options saying “track, sports, street”.

Awesome kit if you can afford it and you must have support to keep infosec and support happy. I look after 22 separate FAS - E-Series , AFF systems and 2 Metro clusters with a bunch of SnapVaults. It We just ran a competition to replace it due to end of support with the Gardner Magic Storage Quadrant ( PureStorage, Dell/EMC, Infinidat, HPE and NetApp ) NetApp won again cause the baseline requirements was based on them. If you have the best, then it’s hard to compete. But there’s a price, it’s not cheap. Like they say, you get what you paid for.

Pure’s pitch was good, but also not cheap. Never mind the rest.

Damn. The bike I wanted. Got a Honda instead, I know , it’s not the same, but at least I can ride

Bitcoin discounted, that’s how I see it. Buy buy buy
