I think it represents a pretty compelling use case for Incus everywhere: cloud, on-prem, development machine. See cost comparison for the financial use case.
I would like your help reviewing its accuracy and clarity. For example, do you believe the AWS instances are comparable? Is there anything else that you believe represents a good or confusing point?
Since I need to support multiple offices and remote workers. Netbird represented the easiest fully open source solution (I could not figure out oven OVN for remote offices and workers).
I am not sponsored by any of these tools. I just wanted to share something that took many hours to test, refine, and document.
I hope this help! Let me know if you have any questions, comments or concerns. Thank you for your time and consideration!
Incus and Netbird…very much inline with where we are going when building out a global private network of compute and storage.
Your suggestions about delaying the use of Incus clusters and running in standalone mode until you get to four or more servers was interesting. Clusters start to require the use storage pool naming conventions and IP ranges across servers that I am yet to get my head around.
Well written! It confirms again that hosting at one of the big cloud providers is rather expensive and still requires skilled people to administrate it.
Depending on your requirements and on lower budget you could archive a similar setup using wireguard vpn and ovn interconnect. It isn’t that straight forward as described in your blog post but doable with some efforts.
All in all I agree totally with the fact that you can create your own personal or company cloud around the globe with just a few tools.
