General Characteristics

The OpenNebula Proof of Concept (PoC) service allows potential customers to test the Enterprise Edition of OpenNebula software directly in their own environment. This provides a low-risk opportunity to assess its functionality, performance, and compatibility, ensuring it meets their specific needs and requirements before committing to a full deployment.

By allowing organizations to experience the platform’s capabilities first-hand, the PoC service empowers potential customers to make informed decisions and fully understand the value and benefits of an Enterprise Edition subscription.

Infrastructure Requirements and Deployment

The PoC program utilizes two methods for installing the PoC OpenNebula cloud. The recommended method is for the OpenNebula team to install in your environment using SSH/VPN. The second option is using a custom-tailored ISO designed to simplify the deployment of a functional OpenNebula environment, enabling users to easily test-drive the platform’s core functionalities. Once the PoC cloud deployment is complete, users will be able to build and manage Virtual Machines and validate a variety of common cloud use cases.

PoC Success Criteria

Each OpenNebula deployment is different but they all have to provide a basic set of functionalities that form a complete solution. We have assembled them in functional groups to make navigation through PoC easy and ordered. Upon completion of all tests, we can announce success and move on to the next phase. Sometimes a special requirement is needed and we add them to our plan during the Introduction and Information Gathering Call.

Deploy OpenNebula On-prem with an ISO

Introduction

OpenNebula provides an ISO image for rapid deployment of an OpenNebula Front-end or processing node. The ISO installs a preconfigured deployment of OpenNebula Enterprise Edition running on a minimal installation of AlmaLinux 9. The ISO image can be flashed to bootable, removable media (such as a USB disk) for local installation or mapped via IPMI Virtual Media for remote hardware management.

Once the ISO has booted and finished setup, a preconfigured OpenNebula cloud will be ready for immediate use, installed on a single bare-metal server, complete with the OpenNebula Front-end server and a single KVM hypervisor node. The same ISO can be used to install other KVM hypervisor nodes within the same infrastructure. The installed software includes a menu and a set of Ansible playbooks to make the OpenNebula infrastructure management simpler.
