As I don't know exactly what you try to accomplish and what resources you have at your disposal here's what I would suggest evaluating Triton: 1) CoaL: If you have an environment that allows CoaL to be run, try this first. You basically need just one VM with enough memory and diskspace in order to try most of the Triton services. 2) If you want to try a setup with more CNs, you need to be able to PXE-boot your CNs (or boot all of them from usb) and have basically two VLANs. I don't know whether a hosting provider or a lab-setup with Intel NUCs (like described in https://www.joyent.com/blog/spin-up-a-docker-dev-test-environment-in-60-minutes-or-less) is cheaper. Triton can run "VMs" (on a basis of kvm) and "Zones/Containers" (on a basis of SmartOS zones). You can provison via docker and docker-compose. Joyents philosophy is more on the side of self-orchestrating apps (using Containerpilot). If you want to run kubernetes on Triton (https://www.joyent.com/blog/kubernetes-the-easy-way), that would require setting up VMs (e. g. with Ubuntu installed in them) and then kubernetes rolled out on top of that. But that's a setup you could have on Openstack or VMWare, as well. Kind regards, Toens -- There is no safe distance. ------------------------------------------- smartos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/184463/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/184463/25769125-55cfbc00 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=25769125&id_secret=25769125-7688e9fb Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
