Orchestrate Infrastructure at scale with Platform9 Managed Openstack.
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We're using Platform9 Managed OpenStack to orchestrate KVM hosts and Leveraging Platform9 Managed Kubernetes Clusters on top of it. Earlier we were using Opensource Openstack and it was hard to find problems and fix the issues. In Platform9 they provide Remote Support and monitor the Openstack Cluster remotely which significantly reduced pain.
Pros
- It removes all the Openstack complexities and provides a simple UI to the end user.
- Reduced the pain of System Administrator and Engineers.
- Highly responsive support.
Cons
- User interface and User experience are not upto the mark. UI needs lots of improvements.
- We need to do entire setup from the scratch.
- Nothing as such other than UI Improvements.
Likelihood to Recommend
If you're having OnPremise Infrastructure and you want to use OpenStack in that case Platform9 Managed OpenStack is recommended to use it will cut down all the complexities of setting up and managing OpenStack IaaS. Platform9 also offers setting up OpenStack on Cloud Such as AWS, GCP, and Azure but wouldn't recommend using this kind of offering as Openstack performs well when underneath virtualized infrastructure is backed directly hypervisors not cloud providers.
