hey all, am devops engineer focused on AWS, I got my eyes lately on openstack and liked the concept of building a local cloud provider(I read based on some folks on reddit struggled on deploying and maintaining it) but wanted to ask: are there clients or companies still working with openstack or developing technologies around it because I don’t see a lot of active communities on reddit or any big contribution to the github
![kevcube avatar](https://avatars.slack-edge.com/2022-02-16/3117652675890_e629b00375cf1d67c74d_72.jpg)
I set up openstack for a client team and my findings are that it just is too much overhead and docker-configuration, awslocal configuration, a collection of shell scripts etc
it didn’t make sense for a team of ~10 engineers but still they wanted a full local loop of their lambda flow which involved things like s3 bucket notifications for triggering lambda etc
![kevcube avatar](https://avatars.slack-edge.com/2022-02-16/3117652675890_e629b00375cf1d67c74d_72.jpg)
I think localstack is good if you built with incorrect patterns and don’t have a good way to locally execute your code. But in an ideal world you should not need localstack and should have a strong local dev flow and from there move to a dev cloud environment.

So learning it and trying to provide it as service will not be beneficial for the long run ?! my main interest was finding a way to help mid-companies achieve their on-premise plans outside the cloud providers options(AWS outpost..)

I wouldn’t say that it’s an extremely valuable skill to have. I haven’t seen many organizations that are using it at scale, and with proper configuration of localstack it’s basically the same skillset as AWS. I would focus more on sharpening pure-AWS skills

Yea, I think if the purpose is testing locally, local stack is where things are headed. Much simpler. Open Stack is overkill unless the objective is to create a self-managed cloud on bare metal.

ohh @forswearbeetle i’m sorry I completely swapped openstack and localstack in my head when I read your first message

And what I meant to say is that I set up localstack. I do not have experience setting up openstack

Incidentally, a new startup out of ycombinator is trying to provide a new alternative to open stack (with a hosted version as well) https://www.ubicloud.com/

Ubicloud is an open and portable cloud. Think of it as an open alternative to cloud providers, like what Linux is to proprietary operating systems. Ubicloud provides IaaS cloud features on bare metal providers, such as Hetzner, OVH, and AWS Bare Metal. You can set it up yourself or use our managed platform.

I have set up Openstack in a test environment around 2013, it is a good project to learn but not for making a living or commercial project, many big companies had failed on it

@Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) I think cloudstack is a true alternative to openstack for now

Heh, didn’t think cloudstack still existed. I only did a small PoC 12+ years ago when was at CBS.

Interesting. So I used it in 2011, just before it was acquired. Didn’t realize Citrix donated to Apache Foundation.

not that much of articles and blogs around it but the documentation seems decent, easier than openstack tbh
![Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/88c480d4f73b813904e00a5695a454cb.jpg?s=72&d=https%3A%2F%2Fa.slack-edge.com%2Fdf10d%2Fimg%2Favatars%2Fava_0023-72.png)
Yes, when I tried cloudstack it was pretty easy to get up and running.

I did a lot of openstack back in the day. We would use cobbler and pxe to bring up dozens of compute for clients and some wanted their own clusters. In the end, the tech is mostly about learning rabbitmq… I feel like that’s the only long term skill I got out of it. And learning how beam/rabbit work and learning some erlang/elixir would need to be on your skill todo’s first.
![Jeremy White (Cloud Posse) avatar](https://avatars.slack-edge.com/2022-10-14/4236950492513_ceab13cebd77d26f2ef6_72.jpg)
Customers leaned on it as an alternative to ec2, and we would basically find value in it because customers were buying hardware and we would make sure it sliced its hardware neatly into clusters.

That’s still something that can be tough to do with kubernetes and other tech, but to be clear, it’s going to move you closer to hardware
![Jeremy White (Cloud Posse) avatar](https://avatars.slack-edge.com/2022-10-14/4236950492513_ceab13cebd77d26f2ef6_72.jpg)
Getting closer to hardware is literally the opposite of getting closer to cloud. Not that they can’t work together, but I would not consider them overlapping or even reinforcing cross-cuts of the same problem

You know how I save my time, one of them is not to pay the same attention to the open-source products with commercial license. You need to distract yourself to other opensource projects, even though they are still small, for example, when mysql was acquired by SUN, Postgresql is much less popular. Keep calm and start staying away from the projects, for example, Terraform, Redis… but you can still make a living with them, it is not a conflict but a way to spend your time and energy more efficiently

1/5 OpenTofu recently got a cease & desist letter from HashiCorp claiming copyright infringement. At the same time, an online publication made the same accusation.
These claims have zero basis in fact. And because the code is open source, you can see this for yourself!

Re: Charmbracelet – I briefly checked out their website after we were talking about “What do they do to make money” during the last office-hours and I’m still pretty confused how they’re a business? I assume they make CLI apps for companies? I’m unsure who that would be and how that would be profitable, but I really hope they’re doing well because now looking at their breadth of OSS work – they’re super impressive. I’m going go donate to the GH

Yes! I started with AWS and then started working with Azure. I really appreciate the way ALL the resources for a project are encapsulated in a resource group. In AWS you can tag but it still leads to resources getting overlooked or left behind when projects get decommed or renamed. Especially back in the click-ops days.

Interesting idea, but I don’t want AI anywhere near my terminal. Just feels like a security nightmare waiting to happen.

this actually looks pretty cool to me, since I’m already a heavy vim user and havent ever really been able to transition over to VSCode. Plus rendering markdown and images is nice to have. Downloaded and giving it a chance!

Let me know how it goes! I’m hesitant to switch to something too quickly as I just got on Warp last year and like it, so I’d like to hear first-hand experience.

@Matt Gowie do you have any favorite Warp features you use? I just made the transition to it
![Matt Gowie avatar](https://avatars.slack-edge.com/2023-02-06/4762019351860_44dadfaff89f62cba646_72.jpg)
Honestly I’m coming from iTerm2 and my feeling towards Warp is that the Emacs key combinations that got ingrained in me from 2011 just work better. Things like alt+shift+b for back selecting a word and what not. I think my bar was kinda low. They have better history search and tab completion too.
![Matt Gowie avatar](https://avatars.slack-edge.com/2023-02-06/4762019351860_44dadfaff89f62cba646_72.jpg)
But I’m definitely not a power user of it. I haven’t really used their AI stuff at all.

Agreed, I haven’t used any of the team or AI features, but the tab completion and search is very nice!

I tried out wave for a day, but honestly didnt love it. We heavily use docker shells at Cloud Posse, and wave makes it pretty awkward to handle. Kind of a hard stop for me

Huh – good to know. What’s it doing in your screenshot? Separating the execution from history or something?

yeah it creates a separate session for the docker shell, but continues new commands in the original shell below. You can click and enter the docker shell if you want, but it’s a lot of clutter
![Matt Gowie avatar](https://avatars.slack-edge.com/2023-02-06/4762019351860_44dadfaff89f62cba646_72.jpg)
Weird. Probably should be an issue for them cause that sounds like a bug. They must know about it though cause entering a subshell is a normal thing…

Holy cow, Warp collects more telemetry than the NSA. I tried it out this week and opted out of all optional telemetry, but after blacklisting the domain so it wouldn’t call back to app.warp.dev, I realized how much it’s sending outbound. https://docs.warp.dev/getting-started/privacy#exhaustive-telemetry-table

Definitely. https://www.glueops.dev/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHtY2jOV1M0
GlueOps is a PaaS that makes it easy for you to deploy apps by combining the best open-source tools into one platform, similar to Heroku/App Runner/AppEngine/Vercel/Netlify. You don’t have to worry about the technical details or maintenance of the OSS tools.
While we use advanced technologies like Kubernetes, you won’t have to use any complex commands. Instead, you just interact with a simple git repository to manage your setup, and we take care of the rest.

Thanks for the feedback and questions. Much appreciated. We have the ability to support serverless type apps but don’t have any customers running those today. As for how we do it, we just use https://github.com/kedacore/keda as our event based scaler. For our current customers that were using serverless/functions they were using it like a cronjob and we just migrated them to a “job” within the context of kubernetes.
KEDA is a Kubernetes-based Event Driven Autoscaling component. It provides event driven scale for any container running in Kubernetes

There’s a theory that the BUSL change was a requirement for the acquisition to proceed, so that IBM wouldn’t need to tarnish it’s reputation by making the license change
