Is OpenStack fighting a lost battle?

I was looking at it for a small VMWare cluster replacement (3 servers or so, couple of dozen VMs, but should grow larger over time) for internal use at our small electronics company, but it sounds too complex. Proxmox looks easier (and probably more suited to this tiny scale?) so I’ll probably try that.

We used oVirt since 7 years. About 550 VMs (Linux and Windows Server). Works really fine.

Proxmox has also web UI for creating a ceph cluster, very good upgrade documentation (went from PVE 6 ceph 15 to PVE 7 ceph 16 without issue), and paying support if you need some.

And don't forget to add Proxmox Backup Server to your list, live restore is a fantastic feature of it :)

Yes, if you are just trying to replace vSphere/ESXi Proxmox is pretty good on that scale. Openstack is great if you are trying to run a internal Digital Ocean style service.
