• Continuing the Search: Open-Source Alternatives to AWS Services

  You can try https://cloudstack.apache.org which has a great UI, CLI, APIs, tooling (Ansible, Terraform etc.) and support for CloudStack Kubernetes Service and CAPC (https://cluster-api-cloudstack.sigs.k8s.io/). CloudStack is also supported by AWS EKS-A. Source: 10 months ago

• Common OpenSource Cloud OS

  CloudStack is cloud computing software for creating, managing, and deploying public as well as private IaaS clouds. It uses several hypervisors such as KVM, vSphere, and XenServer/XCP for virtualization. It supports some key features such as hypervisor agnostic, snapshot management, usage metering, built-in HA for hosts and VMs. Source: almost 1 year ago

• what do they use, or how do they do it..

  The big providers like AWS, GCP, Azure, all have fully custom solutions for the whole infrastructure. But there exist a number of open source projects which give you the ability to setup the basics (compute, storage, networking) on your own. A few such infrastructure projects I'm aware of: * Cloudstack * Openstack * Eucalyptus. Source: about 2 years ago

• Self-hosting a self-hosting service?

• Deploying 100+ windows 10 devices per week. Need to automate.

  In case you're unable to use intune, a free approach might be https://theforeman.org/ That works well for provisioning baremetal windows (with discovery image or pxe boot) once you've set it up. It supports script access as well as a nice hierarchy for configurations. But it's really not as well documented as it should be. Source: 12 months ago

• Configuration Management Tools for 20-30 servers

  I use the foreman with puppet and pxe/kickstart scripts to automate VM/baremetal provisioning etc. Source: about 1 year ago

• Server management tool with GUI

  Might want to look into https://theforeman.org/ if it's not too complex for you. Source: over 1 year ago

• Stockpiling Linux ISOs?

  The iso images are typically locked at a certain verison. The update repositories sounds like what you are looking for to cache updates. Look into theforeman.org and specifically the plugin Katello. This is an upstream for Red Hat's Satellite product. Another option would be Canonical's MAAS. Both of these options Sound like what you are headed for unless you really just mean synchronize into a folder and store... Source: over 1 year ago

• Repo satellite 6 beta error 404 repomd.xml

  Alternatively, you can use Foreman+Katello, the upstream base of Satellite, to get started in learning the platform. You can also use the component matrix to use the versions that most closely resemble Satellite. Source: over 1 year ago
