Report Finds OpenStack Still Being Debated In The Industry (sdtimes.com)
mmoorebz writes: Talligent, a provider of cost- and capacity-management solutions for OpenStack and hybrid clouds, announced its 2016 State of OpenStack Report yesterday. In the report, it identified some concerns IT professionals have with OpenStack, its use cases, and some barriers professionals are facing. John Meadows, vice president of business development at Talligent, said that businesses should have confidence in the path OpenStack is taking. "Companies considering adopting OpenStack should understand that there are still challenges with regards to complexity and deployment," said Meadows. "A successful OpenStack deployment will include some mix of technical expertise, operational tools, and the support of a solid OpenStack partner." Additionally, the shift to an on-demand cloud for IT service delivery requires a new approach to tracking, managing and comparing IT resources, said Meadows. Management tools should be designed to support automation, and deliver real-time insight for OpenStack adoption.
Open Stack is complete and total garbage. I worked on for a company with an OS cluster and I was on their security team briefly. I was moved to other projects that had more money coming in. OS had no customers, the few offerings we tried to put on it were constantly crashing out and having reliability issues. For political reasons, we couldn't move that project to its own VMs and the company continued to haemorrhage money on the OpenStack team.
There's no CVE mailing list either. I had to scrape their LaunchPad to get the latest CVEs and put them in our work request system. Sometimes it would be two weeks before Connonical would even create a package for it (we talked about building our own packages .. )
The company I currently work for has an OpenStack cluster with huge reliability problems as well.
Fuck Open Stack.
Also, fuck Docker in production.
