I like it that some IT-projects start using Latin again. Makes me happy to know why I learned that at school ;-)
OpenNebula has shown (after our testbed project) to be an extremely resilient system with a lot of features. However, SunStone (the GUI we were testing with) fell very short. We are working on our own webui inhouse we will provide on top of OpenNebula/KVM as the backend.
What was your experience with Sunstone? I'd be interested to hear its shortcomings.
I had trouble with the GUI from HardCloud's testbed. It was too minimal. A lot of it was confusing. The wording, specifically, for things. There were options to "Shutdown" and "Undeploy". They basically did the exact same thing (well, that's from what I could see). A lot of the buttons were confusing because they weren't really intuitive. Too bad I didn't have time to test it more. I wish I did. That was only my first impression though.
To be fair, cPanel's interface looks and acts like it's from 1998. It's just such an industry standard that most people are used to it.
As @Obnoxious said; the interface was very unintuitive, and it has a lot of SolusVM's "one machine request is blocking, entire panel will now freeze" issues. "Shutdown" = delete my data please. "Undeploy" = delete my data please, but do it quickly.
It was extremely misleading for users!
"Pause" = "Shutdown and save"
"Resume" = "Put server back in deployment queue"
"Deploy" = "Actually deploy and boot my server now."
The buttons are extremely misleading.
Used it only as a test in our Atomic storage plans. Since 1 in 2 people complained, had to stop using it, but I personally liked it a lot.
Oh that's very unfortunate. It would've been great.
And I still like it a lot, though I don't need it a lot because it's a backup server.
Are you ready for our new product called CloudVM and based on VXLAN and proxmox? Web interface to mange your instance is ready only the web design for the gui most be completed.
Features like template reinstall for windows, centos, debian, windows,.. or additional hdd/ssd or internal networks between all our locations should be nice
Snapshot from the panel without the new design:
We use noc-ps for Xenserver VM-s and Virtualizor for mini XEN-PV plans
We use Feathur. Nice panel
