Hi, I don't remember the exact details, but I think that edeploy's design made it scale poorly (especially for the image broadcast part). This might not be a problem for the typical use case for edeploy (one-time deployment of small/medium-scale clusters to build an OpenStack infrastructure), but it would definitely be a problem for the typical use case for Kadeploy ((re)install medium to large scale HPC clusters during maintenances). Cloning 112 nodes with a standard Debian image with Kadeploy takes about 5.5 minutes, with most of it spent waiting for the nodes to reboot. We are working on using Kexec to make reboots faster, but unfortunately there are quite a lot lof bugs to work around there.
