the idea

Testing different clustersetups/strategies with free/open/other software. Different storage backends, different hypervisors, different management software.

Location: @liwoli 2012 as a workshop

hypervisors

• kvm (openstack, ganetti, sheepdog, proxmox)
• xen (xenserver, openstack, ganetti, …)
• vmware (vmware)

storage backends

• replicated with drbd/heartbeat&co

  • iscsi
  • nfs4/files
  • local lvm

• single homed

  • iscsi
  • nfs4/files
  • local lvm

• ceph + rbd + libvirt

Test setup
