Use Cases and Deployment Scope

One of our client's organizations wanted to have a performant, scalable OpenStack solution. The main reason why we use this is Mirantis OpenStack for Kubernetes can be run on bare metal private clouds, which we also call on-premises private clouds, which can scale well and can provide high levels of reliability. Hence we chose Mirantis OpenStack for Kubernetes.

Pros

Can be deployed and run on bare metal on premises clouds
Is highly reliable and highly scalable
One of the good performance private cloud IAAS platforms available around

Cons

None as I have found and used.

Likelihood to Recommend

Mirantis OpenStack for Kubernetes is highly scalable and very easy to manage Infrastructure as-a Service (IaaS) platform. It has a built-in Mirantis Kubernetes Engine which is best optimized for bare metal hosts for the best performance.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Mirantis OpenStack was one of the proof of concepts we did to test if we could run our infrastructure on OpenStack.

Pros

Works out of the box. There is very little back-end configuration necessary for users.
The support is active and response times are very good.
Staff is extremely knowledgeable and can help with more complex concepts and design ideas.

Cons

Mirantis OpenStack managed services are expensive. Very expensive for a start-up.
I'd personally like to see a little more under the hood details in the status pages.
Mirantis could also benefit heavily from a free "light" version that start-ups could use to run their own cloud. Maybe coupled with advertising or some sort of surveys.

Likelihood to Recommend

Mirantis is well suited for someone who doesn't mind spending money but doesn't quite want to commit to a cloud provider like AWS. It is also well suited for small or junior technical teams that don't have the skills, experience, or time to run their own openstack clusters.
