Hello Cristian,
I have investigated possibility to host CS infrastructure on OVH around
year ago and here are my notices:
* Using vRack is possible with certain product ranges, and Enterprise
line does not have it. You will stick to Infrastructure and Storage
dedicated server lines and thus CPU/RAM resources will be really
limited.
* vRack technology allows to combine servers into one network using
dedicated NIC and OVH management software to assign VLAN numbers to your
sub-nets. You have no control over this top-level switch, except
web-interface. More about it here: https://www.ovh.ie/solutions/vrack/
[6]
* You have no option to separate physically your storage traffic.
1Gbps interface for everything may not be enough.
* You have no backup-up interfaces. If one NIC is down - entire cloud
may be down.
* Since you don't have network switch under your control, you can't
really build advanced cloud network using ACS and OVH vRack. One option
is to use one OVH server in vRack as virtual appliance and put, for
instance, VyOS. But then you need to think about VLANs-inside-VLAN and
everything over single 1Gbps interface. Complicated.
* Since you don't have network switch, you have to route all your
cloud traffic through single server. Our use OVH
https://www.ovh.ie/solutions/ip-load-balancing/ [7]
* There is also IP switching limitation. You can't really route you
public traffic between public interfaces. OVH does it for you. More
about it here: https://www.ovh.ie/dedicated_servers/free-ips.xml [8]. I
think your problem is here. You may try you use L2TP.
Regards,
Vadim.

Thanks for clarification, the best option for me will be the Basic
networking.
Can you help me with this ?

Both types will allow you to have public traffic, but in different
ways.
- Basic is the typical flat network, aka Amazon EC2, where each VM get
its
own public ipaddress.
The downside is that the max size of your cloud is equal to your ip
pool
(minus a few to system vms).
- Advanced is isolated in one way or another, the typical is VLAN but
other
options exist, where tenant networks are behind source nat. This
drastically reduces the necessarity of public ips, but means you have
to
deal with port forwarding and such. If you plan on using VLAN, the size
of
your cloud is limited by the number of VLANS available and the number
of
public IPs (each tenant use a minimum of one).

Hello,
It's ok with Basic networking if this will allow me to have also
"public traffic".
Thanks.

Well, then there shouldn't be much OVH specific to think about.
Are you planning to use Advanced or Basic networking?

Hello,
No, this is not for vrack. ( MAC allocation is mandatory only on normal
dedicated servers )

Before you put much work into this, you should verify with OVH that
they'll allow other MAC-adresses on your switchport(s).
Some hosting providers limit switchports to a set of pre-defined
MAC-addresses, and that is going to be a pain in the ass to overcome.

Hello,
I have some issue with the network, i'm not sure how to configure the
public and private network to work on OVH in Vrack. because i have only
this documentation from OVH and the documentation is only for for
machine itself and for ESXI/Proxmox/xen :
http://help.ovh.com/VrackInfrastructureServer# [5] (maybe somone can
translate to for cloudstack (Cent-OS/KVM)
The RIPE (Public IP's ) need to be bridged via eth1 also the private
IP (
but i don't find the solution also i need to do the right config on
the
management server )
Can someone help me ?
Thanks!
Cristian
