We currently use Hyper-V with an iSCSI SAN since Hyper-V does excellent at fast shared storage with Windows CSV. The system is reliable but very inflexible to changes in strategies when deploying workloads.
Moving to Linux as a hypervisor isn't too much of an issue as we do use Ubuntu 20.x for many of our workloads just that the only clustered storage options for Linux is either Clustered LVM or OCFS2 Never used any "modern" form of OCFS2 deployment so cannot say anything regarding it's performance or reliability but past experiences with Clustered LVM makes me shudder. Had a few machines silently corrupt with Clustered LVM.

Do you need any recommendations from real-life on what to go with, in the CloudStack world? Best, On Tue, 2 Mar 2021 at 14:06, Pieter Koorts <pieter.koo...@me.com.invalid> wrote: That is a pity. Hyper-V Server 2019 for example is excellent with great enterprise software support like backup facilities, clustered filesystem (iSCSI SAN's, etc). Suppose unless there is traction like with OpenStack (with Hyper-V support), getting the time and developers to deal with it in CloudStack will be hard. Will continue my CloudStack research and the options available.

From what I understand CloudStack can be implemented on top of an existing vSphere installation and machines imported into CloudStacks control. Is the same thing possible on a Hyper-V cluster by chance? Thank you Pieter -- Andrija Panić -- Andrija Panić
