[Starlingx-discuss] User questions

[Waines, Greg]

Agree with Thales in that openstack testing in DC Environment has been limited lately.

In previous releases of STX, openstack has been tested on DC Subclouds.
openstack is NOT supported on the central cloud (SystemController) ... believe there really just hasn't been a requirement for this, so not tested or supported.

Hi Ildiko,

Unfortunately, I am not the best person to talk about a Distributed Cloud deployment, don't have much experience with such installation.
I will add this to my list to directly ping Greg once he is back from his vacation and we can elaborate on this topic for you and for the community.
How does it sound?

Thanks,
Thales

[Ildiko] This reads a little confusing to me. What does it mean that stx-openstack should not be supported on central clouds? Does that mean that the central cloud is not expected to run workloads?

As OpenStack is a cloud platform that powers large data centers, I can see how it might not be implemented to run in sub-clouds, but rather in the central data center.

+1 for more targeted testing in this area.

Do you mean the central cloud or the sub-cloud deployment?
