We have a client that wants OpenStack for storage, VMs and containers, but also needs to fit in about 1.3kW.
I think it's crazy and I'm planning to Proxmox + Docker. I figured I'd ask STH what the realistic minimums we would need for OpenStack hosting as of November 2017.
If it is a matter of nodes, the plan is to use Xeon D. We'll probably use 2-3 DP nodes anyway for Proxmox then a few Xeon D nodes with SSDs for extra cluster witnesses and Ceph.
I wanted to take the pulse of easiest to install and maintain today. As you can tell, they have a low budget for everything.
