OpenStack screams “enterprise” and “architects” at the top of its lungs and I for one want nothing to do with that crap. I know exactly what it is just by looking at it - a hobbled together patchwork soup of poorly documented and half-abandoned open source middleware that is meant to pay consultants’ salaries and nothing more. Definitely not meant to solve real problems, that’s for damn sure.
Who is fooled by this anymore, really? Non-technical middle managers who read a bunch of marketing materials?
You can pry k8s from my cold dead hands.
I was the lead PM responsible for managing the implementation of the OpenStack on RedHat+IBM with Intel TXT being the premise of the implementation such that RH could go back and replicate into their own thing...
It was a nightmare project, but on no part, individually of RH, Intel or IBM or Mirantis...
Openstack just was NOT READY for production secure workloads.
The project was just a bunch of people trying to do their best with shitty tools...
But, openstack/shift/the-current-marketplace wouldnt be without the sacrifice of crap on the battlefield.
So, at the end of the day, just hope that all your failures are something that others can trample to make-the-world-a-better-place...
