Racked today, entire hosting solution based on Vates stack
-
@Pilow Ah, yes. Makes much more sense now. My mind was too focused on Vates stack that I didn't think about anything outside of it like DNS, 1password, firewall etc. integration.
You seem to have a quite good vision of what you are going to sell, both on technical level and business level. I work for cloud/managed services provider myself and we grew large but never got to this level of integration. I'm envious now

@bvitnik Vates stack is the central part, where the compute happens. but as we want to get the most of automation, we need to have the correct tools to orchestrate.
And I also do not want it to be "one or the other", our app should let full administration happen in XOA, in the firewalls, etc... if needed
the app will be a wrapper around different components, but should rule them all

Looks very promising!
Just a question, what does the customer care about what pool, host or SR the VM is deployed to? I mean that's normally nothing you get to choose at the other cloud providers i've tried.
Or is that something only available to "resellers" who might have to balance their customers?
-
@nikade indeed, customer will have limited view on that. resellers too, they will manage a quota of ressource and dispatch ressources like CPU/ram/disk /bandwidth amongst their clients.
VM création is already auto-dispatched to the more appropriate host in term of load and vcpu to cpu ratio.
vdi distribution is based on available luns with respect of free size available. to not saturate the SRs.and distribute evenly.my screenshots are from Global Admin view, we can see all info and force some choices.

@Pilow alright, cool! that sounds pretty much like a standard solution, too much options or details usually just confuses the end users
