I support TelcoCloud datacenters which are managed by Red Hat OpenStack. This cloud infrastructure hosts multiple Telco applications, known as Virtual network functions (VNFs) & All the VNFs are created & managed by the OpenStack platform only. This use case has saved a significant amount of CAPEX for telecom operators by converting the traditional hardware-based applications in the form of VNFs. Operations & maintenance tasks are also easy now.
  • Scaling of application components (VMs).
  • Managing the networking between virtual machines.
  • Management of VNFs & the underlying infrastructure.
  • Availability & uptime of VMs because of features like VM migration & evacuation.
  • User management really needs improvement - when compared to AWS or GCP.
  • Security of the overall platform needs to be improved.
  • The whole architecture needs to be modular which is not. Ex - Upgrading any particular component (nova, neutron, cinder) should be possible without upgrading the whole Red Hat OpenStack version.
  • The creation of HEAT templates for complex applications is still a challenge & has a dependency on external tools.
  • Stack creation still requires parameters modification at controllers & compute because of the complex nova-scheduler algorithm.
Best suited for - any organization where you have people who already have expertise on OpenStack, Linux & IP networking. Otherwise, the maintenance & operations will be difficult. When the number of deployed VMs reaches its capacity, it becomes very difficult to manage Red Hat OpenStack because there are no in-built fault management & performance management tools available within Red Hat OpenStack.

Not suited for - Organizations where people have a culture of working on automated GUI-based tools. Here VMware wins over Red Hat OpenStack. Also where you have mission-critical applications where downtime cannot be tolerated.
  • Low cost.
  • SDN functionality.
  • Easy scaling of VMs.
  • Saved CAPEX for sure (I can't quote a figure).
  • Saved Opex also - because a large support community is already available.
  • Increased complexity of system setup though.
Only because of low cost & zero licensing of Red Hat OpenStack
