Cloudstack

Cloudstack is a fantastic solution!

We made a connecting application to accept calls from OpenStack and managed XCP-NG. We will maybe release a version of it at some point, but for now it is too central within our own tech stacks to be public.

@olivierlambert OpenSpace was developed with NASA.

Does OpenStack still work with XCP-NG? Their doc's seem to say no, but I just wanted to see why, and if there is a work around, aside from running XEN on its own.

I understand, of course, that XO could be deployed as a HA VM, but let's say we wanted to run it on two dedicated servers.

@olivierlambert, is there any attempt at a HA XO Active / Standby failover support? I could not find much in the docs (or source code) and was wondering if there was any attempt to introduce this.

@ricardowec I completely second @olivierlambert here. Although there is potential for security issues with an OS that loses support, a hypervisor should be treated with extreme caution anyway. I personally never expose a hypervisor in any capacity directly to the internet (for inbound traffic anyway ). This practice alongside using very specific and often highly customised software packages should keep everything running smooth.

On top of all this, the underlying kernel, storage systems and such are all custom, so there is nothing really to worry about

I will be completely open when I admin that I am very new to XCP-NG, but the team seem to be really responsive if you have an issue. I have never seen such fast reply's, even from an unnamed big brand competitor who charge us $$$ for support.

@olivierlambert Really looking forward to exploring its capabilities!

Hi Guys!

I am the CTO at a technology company, we are a big VMWare house (for now ). Really excited to dive into more XCP-NG. We did work with Citrix a couple of years ago, as a part of a very lengthy quotation process, but ultimately decided to stick with VMWare.

We are a software development company, so love the fact XCP-NG is open source, and we can contribute / modify it as we see fit.

Thanks @olivierlambert for all the work in getting it off the ground;

James
