Newish to openstack (we're using Mirantis fuel to get it off the ground). I have about a million questions, but lets start with:

Mainly, what are some fun/valuable things to do with yer cloud once you've got it?

Image baking is going to lead to some real poo poo in my company... how do you you do it well (hook it to app ci, etc...)? Most our development is lovely java webapps.

Not accessing each and every vm directly is a shift for us.... Log aggregating I get, but do people just not monitor the underlying vms of their services? Or do I just accept that I'm going to attach a floating ip to each vm?

We're missing some key services... dnsaas mostly, but the lbaas also isn't 'production-ready' (the haproxy objects only run on 1 controller and don't fail over)... do I just cry til these get added in what I assume will be 3 years?

Thanks for the reply VC.

We're using packer already with the puppet configuration mgmt we already had. Creating the images is no problem. Managing the life cycle or the build hierarchy is where we're struggling.

I'll look into sensu and that lbaas article you linked. I found Graylog offers a vm appliance image, so I just shoved that into glance and I'll let our app teams (hopefully) figure out the application logging from there...

Anyone have any experience deploying and managing an open source Cloud Foundry? Any pitfalls I should avoid? Ours is up and running on Openstack with minimal effort. We even built a concourse thingy for CI/CD so updates seem to be non events... I'm impressed so far with zero apps/users...
