I'm not surprised, I always wondered how that happened on the backed nowadays. I figured they had upgraded over the years and made it a little more streamlined. no wonder it still takes some time to move stuff around... I wonder how is the SFTP discovery / account process happen?
Due to lackluster repairs on the bridge, the control system was bypassed due not showing any signal that the bridge was locked. they did get out and inspect the "locks" but the guy who did it was only shown the locks years before the accident.
Those kinds of boxes I always ask for permission to poke at a little more and see what they really can be cracked with. Its good fun poking old shit on the network and seeing how it falls over!
the DXVK project out of all this has been a godsend for the older DX11, DX9 games on modern hardware, its being used to increase FPS on older titles on windows
I think Prelude to Foundation could of been a nice mini-series, but overall Asimov's works are just too fragmented to hold up to being a series really.
I find it /really/ funny that PHP is faster then python at this. as a PHP code hacker, I love that PHP keeps coming up faster then python in a ton of tasks
So the main methods of deploying openstack right now are Openstack-Ansible and Openstack Kolla, Both use Ansible to deploy everything and get the cluster up, but you /really/ have to dig into how things are setup if you are going to get a complicated install online. adding a new node into Kolla isn't too bad but can lead to the stack exploding at times. Upgrading is a huge PITA and I do opt to just wipe and replace most of the time.
and oh boy do they charge for managing a Openstack, a 8 Node support contract from Redhat was north of 80k/yr on top of telling me that Openstack is dead, have you tried Openshift :V
Yes, if you are just trying to replace vSphere/ESXi Proxmox is pretty good on that scale. Openstack is great if you are trying to run a internal Digital Ocean style service.
Yep, a "stock" openstack install will tend to use OVN or VLANs -- Most public clouds throw that out completely since they are going to use their existing methods for networking. its a shame, I've not found a public cloud that supports something like OVN.
For your "local" deployment of openstack, look into "Devstack" -- For the cross openstack terraform, the only main issue I ran into was images for the VMs you are going to use are going to differ a bunch, same with networking. as everyone has their own take on how networking should work in their openstack.
Overall.. I am just running core services on openstack, I do like its project isolation. This allows me to give a account to a student group and not worry about them. this comes almost free with openstack. vSphere and Proxmox really don't do this well. the easisted to use deployment of openstack is "Kolla" and it really isn't maintaining anything outside of core services. its a real crapshoot if any of the "cloud services" will deploy at all or just explode your stack.
I see Openstack as a replacement for running your own Digital Ocean / Linode, I've yet to find a product that allows me to run fat VMs, with any kind of networking I really want (I use the crap out of OVN and duplicate network blocks / isolation) and I can just yeet a project at a student and not worry about them going over quota with it.
As someone who is running a rather large Openstack install (3500~ VMs) I agree with the statements on what needs to change, Making it easier to install would be nice, Kolla / Openstack-Anisble are pretty OK, just when they explode its really hard to figure out why it exploded, This on top of lack luster community support (Their IRC channels are /very/ dead when it comes to support) what people mean when its "consulting-ware" is that there are no real documentation on the failure states, tunables, and intermixed services. it has rather shit logs (90% of the time its just a python stacktrace shown to the end user) so you have to hit up a consultant that has had to deal with all the BS that openstack has.
