Dear Community, It is always good to hear user stories on how people are using OpenNebula in their production environments.
Our friends of BIT.nl just wrote a nice blog post [1] explaining why they chose OpenNebula, and their experiences comparing OpenNebula versus OpenStack. An interesting excerpt from the post: "We have done internet research on some main CMP's: OpenStack, Eucalyptus, oVirt, OpenNebula. Two of them were tested in a lab environment: OpenStack and OpenNebula. We had lots of trouble getting OpenStack working, hit some bugs, etc. In the end we could never get it to do what we wanted. It became clear the project is moving fast, at least code was flying around, subprojects became different entities of themselves, etc. We were worried it would take a lot of time to get it all running, let alone upgrade to newer versions. OpenNebula worked pretty much out of the box, besides a bug with OpenvSwitch that stood in the way at first. We wanted to have a platform that would be able to work with different hypervisors. We're using KVM now, but for one reason or the other VMware, XEN, or Hyper-V should be possible. We didn't want to restrict ourselves to only one (that's why oVirt didn't make it). Besides that it should be easy to understand how things are tied together, basically KISS. If systems get overly complex sooner or later you get bitten by them. You don't have complete oversight of every little component and when the shit hits the fan you don't know were to start cleaning. ... In a nutshell, the benefits of using OpenNebula are: - Simple but powerful / flexible - Works out of the box - Easy to maintain / upgrade - (API) Interface(s) - OSS - Great community / development organization (that became obvious as soon as we joined the mailing list)" Big thanks to Stefan Kooman for writing this post. BIT.nl is hosting our first OpenNebula TechDay in Ede, The Netherlands ( http://opennebula.org/community/techdays/ede2014/). There are still some seats available, so be quick to register. If you are using OpenNebula in your company, and you want to share your setup with the rest of the OpenNebula community, let us know!
