@Doyler3000 said in Reconsidering ProxMox: As regards moving to an appliance - I'm comfortable with KVM but I run our VM infrastructure mostly on my own. On occasions where I'm on holiday or otherwise unavailable, it would be helpful if at least a couple of others could administer the system (particularly backups). Totally makes sense. I'm the same. We have a much larger pool of people for ProxMox support than we do for non-ProxMox KVM support. It's nice to let the bigger pool handle general tasks. And the web interface is really nice.

This one seems to make more sense since its installed from a snap like what Ubuntu does by default. https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-to-install-setup-lxd-on-fedora-linux/

@aaronstuder said in LXC 2.1 Containers Releases: @mlnews said in LXC 2.1 Containers Releases: Not an LTS release. But does it matter? It does if you are a person that wants LTS (e.g. you hate keeping your systems up to date) and like run Ubuntu LTS, and want to update LXC and this would cause an LTS conflict.

I know Canonical is a big supporter of LXD. Who is the big supporter for LXC? LXD is just an interface for LXC. So Canonical supports LXC through LXD. The biggest contributors to LXC are Virtuozzo, IBM and Google. So LXD makes it easier to manage LXC? Yes

I am, yes. Wouldn't this be the expectation? in many if not most cases? If you know my particular case, yes it would be an expectation. In a more common scenario, no, not so much. Wouldn't you typically have LXD on a hypervisor? LXD is a Type-C hypervisor, so while having it on top of a Type 1 is common, having it on bare metal is also common.

That, too.

@mlnews said: The LXD project has announced that LXD 2.0 is now released. This is an LTS release and is the first product release of the technology. LXD 2.0 will be included in Ubuntu 16.04 and will be backported to 14.04 and it is expected to be picked up by other Linux distros shortly. I really wish Red Hat would do more with LXC. It sucks that you have to use Ubuntu to get the cool features like this. If you look at the documentation for RHEL Atomic they have you use docker by attaching and using a shell in the container. Why do that incorrectly when you have Linux containers to do that? Hopefully in RHEL 8 you won't need EPEL to get LXC functionality.

@RamblingBiped said in Containers in IT: Do you automate configuration management and deployment using Puppet? Chef? Ansible? This particular item (DevOps vs. Snowflakes) applies to VMs and containers equally.

Yes, if the just didn't mention it, I would assume that I was going to be using GIT to keep it updated. It's only because they so strongly state otherwise that I looked at the repos.
