Sounds like Docker is a closer fit than Virtualbox or Workstation for your case.

I've just started playing around with openstack and here's a few notes:

minato posted:The missing piece that I've seen no-one mention is CoreOS. It's a minimal Docker-focused Linux made for easy clustering. It doesn't even have a package manager. You add functionality to it via Docker containers. This means all your hosts or VMs can run the same OS, and having a homogenous set of VMs where the apps are containers instead of installed directly onto the box makes life much easier for Ops. This sounds like Solaris Zones.

Ugh I really don't feel like signing up for a beta just to see if one feature is there. Anyone in, please blink once if VUM still requires windows or twice if I can fully switch to using VCSA.

I just applied for the beta. Is there a good guide to setting up a smallish VMware cluster on a single host for testing purposes? And is there a small form-factor machine I can set up a lab on (mac mini, intel NUC sized) easily?

The web client is a piece of poo poo, which is a shame when it could be much better and actually useable.

Make everything in LVM so you can easily grow the partitions later.

ghostinmyshell posted:Thanks guys I started googling up some of the stuff mentioned and it looks like it will me out. Sorry for not being specific, but I need to make Ubuntu and CentOS server images. My predecessor who didn't do any of this poo poo said never use LVM for virtual machines but I'll take your word for it. If you don't use LVM you need to do fun stuff like nuking and re-creating the partition table live instead of just pvcreate / vgextend / lvresize / resize2fs. Nuking and recreating works, most of the time, if you're just growing the VMDK and the partition you want to expand is the last on the VMDK, but I wouldn't rely on it. DHCP+kickstart/preseed is easy with something like cobbler or foreman evol262 posted:Stagger cronjobs (you don't need to disable m/slocate, but make sure they don't all kick off at the same time on all systems; same for yum-cron or apt's equivalent). Use paravirt or host-accelerated devices where possible, even if it means you need VMware tools by default. Wisdom. We had huge IO issues until we started splaying our search engine reindex jobs so they didn't all kick off exactly every 5 minutes.

And here I was thinking "DSL" meant "Domain-specific Language", not "drat Small Linux", which made DAF's post make even less sense.

Ah, I thought the PSUs were fine, but filling the IML log. nvm.
