We are evaluating Openshift Origin on an existing OpenStack on-premise cloud. So far I have been playing around with the oc cluster up deployment on a local workstation and it works fine but I haven't played around with the CI/CD option (they support jenkins deployments, etc). From the docs I see that there is a bit of complexity regarding the security constraints and integration of volumes that I need to wrap my head around.

I also attended the DevConf.cz and saw a lot of presentations regarding Openshift. They have most of the talks on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmYAQDZIQGm_kPvemBc_qwg) in case somebody is interested

My big issue was getting multi-node deployments working well in AWS. I hit walls of configuration issues, DNS issues, poor documentation on fields, and generally could not make much forward progress. Running locally or on a single node OpenShift was fantastic, the haproxies for ingress were easy to configure and launching new services was impressively easy.

I was leveraging EFS as NFS mounts for my persistent volumes and had good results.

You might check out fabric8 if only for their visualizations of what is going on in your openshift / kubernetes environment.

Thanks for the youtube link! I'll be sure to check it out

Yeah I can imagine that setting up a multi-node deployment on AWS might be an issue. Fortunately for openstack there is a redhat maintained heat template that should hopefully make the installation quite straightforward (but haven't tried it yet).

Yep, have used these several times. They work very well.
