Hi,
I posted a question regarding "Deploying RDO using Foreman" to
ask.openstack.org and thanks to Keshyap and Rich which engaged me to
proceed further, I updated the thread here:
https://ask.openstack.org/en/question/12104/deploying-rdo-using-foreman/
The post might be too long, here some more information about the reason
behind my question and some more questions:
I'm trying to learn Foreman for installing OpenStack and use it to deploy
RDO on top of RDO to provide some kind of OpenStack training / webinars and
later to run the whole thing on 6-8 bare metal machines and use it to
deploy OpenShift and write a tutorial about the whole thing and post it on
the RDO site, LinkedIn, etc.
About our BASE RDO environment:
Our RDO based 3 node environment is thanks to the latest update very stable
and very fast now and I've to thank all of you smart guys for doing such a
great work!
Our environment uses VLAN and the Foreman RDO installation shall use GRE
and Qemu (or LXC / Docker) to let us play with the whole thing and write a
tutorial about the whole thing.
So my questions:
Does the Foreman installation on top of a virtualized environment work at
all? (I guess yes)
Yes, technically, it should work. Refer to my previous email on
this list[1] for some URLs on Foreman.
Could a VLAN based BASE-Install be a problem to succeed with this
scenario
(to have GRE on top of VLAN)? (I guess no)
Only way to know with certainity - to try it.
Has someone tried such a scenario before? (I guess yes)
Could I use LXC / Docker instead Qemu?
There's active work on upstream for Docker support, so you ought to
experiment and carefully note down observations, filing bugs along the
way.
And, it depends on _what_ you want to do with the LXC/Docker setup. If
it's just to try it out, there's decent resources on the inter-webs.
Thanks in advance for any help / advice!
