Support for OpenNebula

[jimf]

Hi there!

My name is Jim, and I'm a Product Manager at OpenNebula Systems, the commercial arm behind the popular open source cloud management platform, OpenNebula.

We've had an influx of requests from Enterprise customers (OpenNebula users who pay for professional services & support) and Community edition users asking around support for Veeam as a backup option in our product. Like many similar cloud management platforms, we have had a lot of requests from those moving away from VMware and looking to continue using their existing solutions (for example, Veeam) and I wanted to come here to ask around how we can go about this.

We have resources internally that we are willing to dedicate to such activities, as well as already looking into how we can work with agent-based Veeam backups in our own product - but many of our users have already indicated that the preferred method is backing up via Veeam (similar to how VMware, Proxmox, etc).

Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
Jim

Hi Jim, I will write you an email and introduce you to some of our team members.

Hi there,

This is a very interesting thread. We are a CSP / MSP running private and public cloud infrastructure for clients. I'm starting to look at evaluating open nebula for a potential POC. VMware is our core, but we have a growing need to look at alternatives. Veeam support for both backup & replication would be a massive plus for open nebula.

Cheers,

Jonathan

Hey Jonathan,

I've sent you a DM about this - it would be great to talk more about this as OpenNebula is a great tool for MSPs/CSPs to run that cloud infrastructure, public and private.

Cheers
Jim

Hi,

Is support for OpenNebula on Veeam's roadmap?

Hello,
and welcome to the forums.

There are no plans right now besides using agent-based backup.

Best regards

Opennebula seems to hint about being able to use the Veeam KVM backup option in their 7.0 release anouncement: https://opennebula.io/blog/product/get- ... ebula-7-0/

[jimf]

Hey there - yep, we've been working on this as part of our upcomming 7.0 release (due within the next month or so) with the support of the Veeam team.

In the coming weeks we will be releasing more details on this, and hopefully a webinar and some screencasts. For anyone attending RedHat Summit in Boston at the end of May, we'd be happy to talk more and showcase this at the event.

Hello everyone,

Please keep in mind that, although the integration might work well, Veeam currently has no immediate plans to allocate resources for testing the integration with OpenNebula. Consequently, any technical issues that may arise should be directed to the OpenNebula support team, as Veeam support might not be able to assist as promptly as you might expect.

As a result, you may experience a slightly bumpier user experience than usual. : ) We appreciate all efforts from vendors to integrate with Veeam and strive to facilitate more integrations in the future.

Thank you!

Hi Jim, we are very interested in Veeam support for OpenNebula. Where do you release more information which we can read?

Hey Bastiaan,

Apologies for the late reply. Once it is ready we'll have some information on our website (OpenNebula.io), however feel free to DM your email, or reach out directly (jfreeman@opennebula.io) and I'd be happy to answer any questions you have and provide you a demo in the coming weeks.
