Re: [Openstack-operators] Sharing resources across OpenStack instances

2015-04-22 Thread Mike Smith
At Overstock we have a number of separate Openstack deployments in different facilities that are completely separated from each other. No shared services between them. Some of the separation is due to the kind of instances they contain (“Dev/Test" vs “Prod” for example), but it is largely due

In addition to these factors, collocation happens to be another key source of noise. By collocation I mean VMs doing the same/similar work running on the same hypervisor. This happens under low capacity situations when the scheduler could not enforce anti-affinity. Subbu > On Apr 22, 2015, at

Yes, it really depends on the used backing technique. We using SSDs and raw images, so IO is not an issue. But memory is more important: if you lack IO capability you left with slow guests. If you lack memory you left with dead guests (hello, OOM killer). BTW: Swap is needed not to swapin/sw
