Hi Florian,

Yes we have experience with KVM and CloudStack (so does quite a few other people in the community). The challenge with KVM is always storage. NFS is easy but may not give you the performance you want, block storage is tricky since you need either a stable clustered file system (OCFS2/CLVM/etc)  or something like CEPH. If you got sheepdog to work it would be a nice addition.

    Dear Dag,
    
    sure will do so. You got experience using KVM with cloudstack? We do use Xenserver right now but we would like to switch to KVM. We will start a POC in about two weeks comparing both. Blockstorage solution will be ScaleIO but as support by Cloudstack is not given we might end up testing sheepdog.
    
    All the best,

    Hi Florian,
    
    Not aware of this having been tried – but interesting concept. Please let us know results if you run up a POC for this.
