Hi Everyone. Is there an Openstack Nova driver for Proxmox available? I'm thinking of using Proxmox as a unified HCI backend (KVM + Ceph + backup, etc.) with a multi-tenant Openstack frontend. Should be doable, and I don't see any different functional operation vs. the existing VMware vCenter driver.

Proxmox isnt a storage device.
If you're looking to use proxmox as your ceph management interface that should work fine; you'd just use the ceph rbd facility (https://docs.openstack.org/kilo/con...88.844276323.1608165658-1113255564.1608165658)

Appreciate the reply but Nova is Compue not storage. My question was around if a Nova Driver exists for Proxmox in a similar deployment and use case as Openstack orchestrates VMWare. In the VMware scenario, a VMW Cluster is added to Openstack. OpenStack orchestrates VMs, VMWare Cluster Orchestrates Compute, Storage, Network infrastructure.
I'm certainly not authoritative on proxmox but I highly doubt it. If you want to use kvm/qemu for compute within an openstack umbrella, you already have an officially supported variant...
Sorry, this might look like I'm digging up an old thread, it is not 
The idea here is interesting, and would, if doable, allow proxmox to present an openstack compliant API, which could be awesome… and indeed, as the compute part is kvm-based, it should be "easy" to map the features needed. Same goes for storage, as they obviously have similar feature ranges… Networking is another story, but the flat neutron setup works fine for bridges equivalent of proxmox, and openvswitch could be mapped I guess…
