Re: VM management setup

[Kenneth Van Alstyne <kvanalstyne@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is purely anecdotal (obviously), but I have found that OpenNebula is not only easy to setup, is relatively lightweight, and has very good Ceph support.  5.8.0 was recently released, but has a few bugs related to live migrations with Ceph as the backend datastore.  You may want to look at 5.6.1 or wait for 5.8.1 to be released since the issues have already been fixed upstream.

Thanks,

Hi. Knowing this is a bit off-topic but seeking recommendations
and advise anyway.

We're seeking a "management" solution for VM's - currently in the 40-50
VM - but would like to have better access in managing them and potintially
migrate them across multiple hosts, setup block devices, etc, etc.

This is only to be used internally in a department where a bunch of
engineering people will manage it, no costumers and that kind of thing.

Up until now we have been using virt-manager with kvm - and have been
quite satisfied when we were in the "few vms", but it seems like the
time to move on.

Thus we're looking for something "simple" that can help manage a ceph+kvm
based setup -  the simpler and more to the point the better.

Any recommendations?

.. found a lot of names allready ..
OpenStack
CloudStack
Proxmox
..

But recommendations are truely welcome.

Thanks.
