Hi there,

in the last quarter, we conducted a research [0] to evaluate and rethink how we deploy and offer Clod VPS (openstack), i.e, our IaaS setup.

The research results were written into a wiki page [1] which summary being that the most attractive option for us is to move to a kubernetes + openstack-helm deployment of Cloud VPS / openstack in the future.

This project is not trivial, and may be actually a multi-year project, so when / why / how this project will start is yet to be decided.

The wiki page [1] contains plenty of details about everything related to the project. Also, a bunch of open questions and unknowns. Feel free to point to gaps or missing information bits in the plans.

regards.
