Note This is currently just a proposal.

Since CloudStack blown up during Winter 2025 and the general architecture is deemed beyond current syscom's capacity to maintain, we propose to set up a new cloud cluster using more understood and simpler (for current syscom fleet, as of Spring 2025) technologies.

Which includes:

  • proxmox as virtualization host
  • pyceo for virtual machine lifecycle management (creation, expiry, deletion if no longer a member for long enough)
  • NFS for inter-node VM disk exchange

More specifically:

  • proxmox will be connected to LDAP for user/group synchronization and authentication
  • each user/club will have a dedicated resource pool for resource isolation
  • all virtual machine creation/deletion will be done by pyceo, due to proxmox not having resource pool quota
