Nux, The two most deployed SDN solutions are Vmware NSX-MH (Nicara) and Nuage VSP (Alcatel-Lucent). Neither are cheap! We've been evaluating whether we're going to run a POC on Nuage, as it does have some very cool features including service chaining. Most of the other SDN plugins within CS are either very alpha, or haven't received any updates in quite a while. I polled the dev list list a few months back and it didn't appear anyone on the lists were running (or willing to talk about) Big Switch, Midonet or Stratosphere. I know someone built the start of a plugin for Open Daylight, but it hasn't seen any development since then. We even reached out to Midonet, offering to pay for support and they told us to install Openstack ;-)
We have the native KVM VXLAN implementation running in our lab and it seems to work very well. We went 100% 10/40GB using open platform switches and Cumulus linux. Our main interest in SDN is to provide more advanced traffic steering and security features later. - Si ________________________________________ From: Nux! <n...@li.nux.ro> Sent: Sunday, November 29, 2015 12:56 PM To: Cloudstack Users List Cc: dev Subject: What SDN are you using? Hello, So besides the folks using Nicira, can anyone recommend any other SDN thing or should I stay with v(x)lans? I'm kind of removed from this side of things since my deployments tend to be with Security Grups in a single or few VLANs, any suggestions welcome, preferably free/foss.
