Packet SIG
Packet.com is a baremetal public cloud, and they have donated some resources to the StarlingX project. The resources are available under the STX-PROJECT-01 project on Packet.com.
StarlingX Distributed Cloud on Packet.Com
As a demonstration of the OpenStack Edge Computing Group's Distributed Control Plane MVP Architecture, StarlingX Distributed Cloud has been deployed on Packet.com.
STX R1 : http://mirror.starlingx.cengn.ca/mirror/starlingx/release/2018.10/centos/2018.10.0/outputs/iso/
Horizon for Central Cloud: http://147.75.105.202
SSH to Central Cloud: ssh wrsroot@147.75.105.202
Problems Found with Packet.com:""
- Multi-cast Packets appear to be dropped by Packet.com switches
- Results in StartingX Maintenance reporting a false alarm that it has lost connectivity with other nodes in the StarlingX Cloud. E.g. In Central Cloud, cc-controller-0 claims that it has a heartbeat audit failure with cc-controller-1.
- WORKAROUND: Change maintenance's heartbeat failure behaviour to simply raise an alarm ... rather than declare the node as failed and reset the node.
