Hi all,
Didn't get a response on my last post for this, so thought I would reach
out again. We have a customer that is interested in utilizing xCAT to

Thanks!

Hi all,

So, for example, Rocks has an "EC2" roll that allegedly allows you to
"deploy" nodes into the Amazon EC2 infrastructure (it's really an image

Russel,
I can bring the topic to the team to discuss.
Currently xCAT has a OpenStack baremetal driver that allows you to deploy
baremetal nodes in a OpenStack cloud. You can:
1. register xCAT nodes into OpenStack
2. register xCAT images into OpenStack
3. deploy baremetal node using OpenSt
Thanks! That does, a bit. Looking to aim more for deployment into an
already-existing hosted cloud infrastructure as opposed to having to
roll your own :-)

I am not very familiar with OpenStack and the terminology so it's quite
possible I missed it, but the xCAT documentation for OpenStack seemed to
be about deploying into (and setting up your own) completely bare
OpenStack cloud. I'm not looking to have a completely separate cluster.
