I previously posted about RedHat Cloud Offerings and emphasized what my organization is lacking: Satellite, RHEV-M, and MRG Grid.
We're now running Satellite and will be registering all of our servers to use it. We've also been able to use Satellite alone to kickstart a VM on our KVM servers without touching the hypervisors. We're going to keep experimenting with Satellite and roll it into production very soon.
We're less interested in RHEV-H and RHEV-M since we are already happy with KVM running on RHEL and prefer to use our command line tools for management as opposed to the "vmware-like" RHEV-M GUI. We're also less interested in MRG Grid since HPC is not our focus.
We are interested in Deltacloud but in a development sense only. We don't expect it to be production-ready for a while. For now we're going to use a by-the-hour EC2 account with our development KVM cluster and see what it's like creating and migrating VMs between EC2 and our cluster (or private cloud (if you must)).
