Hi,

I think SDC and FIFO are just incompatible with each other:
They are two different ways to orchestrate a farm of SmartOS servers.

SmartOS was free and opensource , SDC was not, so FIFO was created as an 
alternative to SDC.

-FIFO runs on top of SmartOS, SDC includes SmartOS completely (net booting of 
compute nodes,etc…). I think SmartOS behaves differently when running as a SDC 
node.
- SDC will probably be more complete than FIFO in analytics, customer 
portals,billing and some other stuff. 
- Joyent’s images will be better provisioned with SDC (mysql & postgres admin 
password  generation, ssh key transmission,…)
-I found that FIFO copes better when you  fiddle in SmartOS command line.
-If you already have SmartOS servers running , FIFO can be installed as an 
afterthought. SDC has to be planned from the beginning.

At this time I’m running 2 SmartOS servers with about 15 VMs. I like the 
flexibility of SmartOS Command Line Interface, so I mainly use that.
I installed FIFO, and it shows  my 2 servers and their VM running. I use it 
sometimes  for a quick look,  but I prefer to create and manage my VMs in CLI 
for its flexibility. 

If your planning to have more than 2 servers, of course FIFO or SDC are a must.

Both FIFO and SDC architectures are a bit complex, with a lots of different 
components to make it work. But looking at OpenStack, FIFO and SDC look quite 
simple…
