Id say if you just need a gui for provisioning VMs that fifo is really
fast and easy to get up and running.
But if you try to build an HA clustered fifo deployment you better buy
a book on erlang and start reading.
Same goes for troubleshooting any fifo problems. Youll need to learn
some erlang.
You'll definitely want to remember that snapshots are your friend too.
Ive botched my share of fifo deployments and if you destroy it and
start over with existing running VMs its a ton of work to get your
packages and networks reconfigured.
Let me tell you, Erlang is not easy either. But fifo has a beautiful
simple interface and its great for provisioning VMs and zones.
Ive had my share of learning curves with LEosFS too.
SmartDC has many many more moving parts, but, it supports the latest
versions of SmartOS so youre not restricted to tested versions only.
If you need to analyze big data I say go with SmartDC so you can use
Manta.
Im also getting ready to switch to smartdc and Im really looking for
the built in dtrace and the billing features that are built in.
Hope this helps!

Project-FiFo and SmartDataCenter as far as its GUI, particularly as it
pertains to a non-technical person's ability to provision new VMs.
Thanks,

Hi John,
I am also in the dilemma between FiFo and SDC and I was thinking of
setting up both of them and see which one suits better for our needs.
First off, I should say that we are a small software company in Greece
and we need the cloud infrastructure just (of about 10-15 hypervisors)
for the services we're providing, so we won't be offering VMs as a service.
I have just deployed a FiFo installation of 2 hypervisors and I'm trying
to learn how it works, and since I'm very new at this, I had no idea
that in the future I'd have to learn erlang for
troubleshooting/administering FiFo. So, to your experience, is erlang a
prerequisite for FiFo?
Thanks for your info,
George.
